"What a beautifully unique place to stay! We were in the Gamekeeper's bothy and thoroughly enjoyed it. It was clean and spacious and the wood stove kept us plenty warm! We never saw any red squirrels but I did see a beautiful jay that was so different from the blue jays we have in the US. I would stay here again in a minute!"

"What a magical little place this is! Absolutely loved the cabin and all the unique decor and trinkets and the location is breathtaking…so peaceful. The couples hot tub was perfect and nice to relax in after coming back from lovely walks. Well done to the owners of the Sweet Donside Cabins. We’d love to come back."

This was my absolute favourite stay during our 2 weeks in Scotland! Absolutely authentic experience. The room was clean and so cozy. The food was perfect. Breakfast...omg. And the owner/staff were friendly and so helpful. If you have the chance, do stop here for a stay!

It’s a little pricey but the staff here are beyond excellent. The service and dining experience have been exceptional. Our television had issues when we got to our room but the staff were immediately accommodating and switched out the televisions. We are from the U. S. and I was a little hesitant when we first checked in because the carpets and rooms are a little worn but the staff is so great it immediately makes up for it. We have a late flight out of Aberdeen, the person at reception...

We chose this property for its proximity to the Highland Games we were attending. The property looked nice on the website, and we saw that it had a restaurant, but everything about it exceeded our expectations! The room was beautiful (our compliments to the decorator) and we loved the Victorian high tank toilet. Each course of the meal was more amazing than the last, and from the awards on the wall I suppose we should not have been surprised. Our hosts were exceptional and we loved learning...

We’ve been to Scotland three times, and this is the most wonderful place we’ve ever stayed! We were in Heaven. When Americans think of the Higjlands, this is what we envision.

A guest house, not a hotel room, was what I wanted. My room with private bath was clean, and the window opened for fresh air. TV in the room worked well. The breakfast buffet is always available. It's on 2 bus routes for easy access to Aberdeen city center.
On arrival, make sure your phone is charged and you know how to do international calls on it.
