“Great quiet location with forest feel in Ballater”
Great location, easy 10 minute flat walk to shops. Walks from the doorstep, but also easy access to main roads. Setting for the chalets feels secluded and as though youre in a little piece of forestry, although its in a residential area. Red squirrels right outside the window. Gordon is friendly and helpful.
