Warm, comfortable, clean. Real home from home. Superb layout, with great facilities. Luxurious bedding & towels. Perfect for our needs. Some lovely extra touches, including welcome hamper. Really good information booklet too. Will definitely choose to stay here again.
We had the greatest time! The artic cabin was great with the snow falling outside. The house is very warm and cozy. Our questions were answered quickly. The town is beautiful/ frozen in time. Thanks again we hope to come back some day.
What a great stay in Mayfield house.
Great location, supper clean well equipped kitchen. Beautifully decorated
We will definitely be back to visit again soon.
Thank you.
Mayfield is a beautiful property which has been furnished to a luxurious standard.
The arctic cabin was so much fun and really cosy once the bbq had been lit.
With nothing to fault, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property.
The house and gardens are even better than the pictures show.
Everything was very clean and comfortable. All the facilities you might need are there for you. The Welcome pack was very much appreciated too!
The decked area is an absolute sun trap and the Artic Cabin is the cherry on top - ideal for evening drinks or all weather BBQs. Nicely located for a short walk into town (5 mins) (Make sure you try the Ice Cream Shop!) or for touring the Cairgorm Natioanl Park.
Fabulous!
Stayed here for two weeks and could have stayed longer! Really lovely property and had everything we wanted. The addition of an en-suite since booking was a lovely surprise. Garden great for relaxing in. We will definitely stay again.
We had a lovely stay at this beautiful cottage. We enjoyed the walks and hospitality of Ballater and were able to enjoy the comfort of the cottage and unwind in the arctic cabin in the evenings. The host was extremely helpful also and replied to queries very quickly. Highly recommend.
