The bedrooms are all a generous size, as is the well-equipped kitchen (we managed to prepare a 7-course meal for the 6 of us). It's a short and delightful drive from the house to the heart of the Cairngorms. And don't miss paying a visit to the friendly Persie gin distillery just 5 minutes from the house ##### Bill M.

The common areas are open and inviting. The river out back is lovely to wake up to. My only critique would be for comfier couches. Everything else was lovely. Easy access to many sights and hikes. Beautiful landscape. Beds are comfy. ##### Chris G.

Was a shame we couldn’t find logs for the log fire - would have set the atmosphere nicely. Also a few more sofas in the living room would have prevented people sitting in the floor. However, the space was great and we loved the outside space. Definitely be back in the summer. ##### Yvonne B.

We stayed for a couple of nights in early July. Lots of space at the property with great facilities. Sitting out on the decking, listening to the river and enjoying the view was perfect, a great place to relax. We travelled up to Braemar and Ballater in no time at all, so ideally located if you want to explore Royal Deeside. Check in process was quick and simple. ##### David N.

We really enjoyed our long weekend stay in this fantastic property, celebrating a 50th birthday! The house/garden is amazing in a perfect and peaceful location! We enjoyed walks in the Cairngorms and along the River Dee, including a trip to a whisky distillery just past the gates of Balmoral! Would highly recommend! ##### Jackie L. Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Neil G., Kelty 21 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful property and location!!! We spent a weekend at the property for a 40th birthday with close family and found it perfect! The house is HUGE and had the bonus of the annex property which allowed older parents to relax in the morning away from early rising children! We had the luck of the Scottish weather which allowed us to open up the massive doors and windows onto the balcony which overlooked the garden and river in the sunshine all day. Would definitely recommend this property to anyone especially this with larger families staying and looking for a relaxing time. ##### Neil G. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### joseph b. 15 Sept 2016 #### Excellent value. Excellent property. Very spacious with plenty of room for the family to socialise together or find their own space. Very clean with all the mod cons required. Really good garden which allowed the children to play and the adults to chill. We were seven adults and three children under five. Recommend this property and the area. ##### joseph b. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff A. 3 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Scotland road trip The Holly Tree Lodge was our last stop on a 10-day road trip through the Scottish Highlands and it was the perfect place to end our journey. This creek-side property is beautifully laid out, nicely appointed, and even has a dry sauna! We used the large kitchen on our last night and just loved the vibe of the whole place. The property managers were a dream to work with too. Highly recommend this place if you're looking for a true Scottish countryside experience way off the beaten path. ##### Jeff A.
