    “Absolutely beautiful location. Close to the town of Ballater, yet a rural location with walks from the property. Pet friendly, with a lovely garden for our dog. The added bonus of having use of a charger for our EV on site. The Mill has everything...”

Dan & Clare Whitehead
A sympathetically converted 19th century mill laid out over 3 floors, Crofts Mill offers comfortable spacious accommodation for up to 6 people. Ideal for a family holiday or a quiet getaway, it is well proportioned, full of personality and uniquely positioned for all that Royal Deeside has to offer.
Crofts Mill is located within the small Crofts Farm development. It is 1 mile up the picturesque Glen Muick, and sits amidst farmland and the wooded hills of the glen. Hiking and cycling is easy from the door, or you can travel further afield to the many attractions of Royal Deeside; Balmoral, Lochnagar Distillery, the Cairngorms, Lochnagar, local cafes and restaurants, art galleries, fishing, golf and more.
