Hilton Grand Vacations Club Craigendarroch Suites Royal Deeside

10/10 Excellent
"Ideally located for hillwalking and exploring the Cairngorms Stayed in one of the Hilton Suites comprising a sitting area, kitchenette bedroom and bathroom- the kitchenette was well fitted out with all the utensils and amenities required. All the areas were very well proportioned and roomy. The bed was very comfortable and the suite very clean. A great place to stay"
