    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 required for a fantastic stay. We have already booked our next stay.

    Great cabins in a great location, very easy for local shops and great location for going hikes in the surrounding areas. Nice and clean with a great television and music player. Friendly staff that said hello and made sure we were happy with the cabin. Nice and quiet at night which was great after a days hike. Lots of information leaflets on the area which is always useful. Being dog friendly with no charge was also a big positive for us!
