Excellent location. Enclosed garden for pooch. Very warm, clean and fully equipped with everything you would need.
Quite an early check out time and late check in.

Very clean,very cosy,vey well kitted out ! In fact much more than listed(2 ring hob,mini air fryer,toaster,kettle,pots pans and all you need.
Mini log burner was great not that you need it much it’s so well insulated but great to have on for effect.
No problem finding it and plenty space on the street to park and only a short walk into town.
Check in was straight forward with a key code sent a few days before with good communication beforehand and an info booklet left for all other instructions.
Overall highly recommend and would not hesitate to return.

Excellent location in Ballater. Easy to walk everywhere, including bus stops. This was important as we had no car. Well equipped kitchen area, although we ate out, so didn’t use much apart from the kettle.
Sliding door into the shower room kept jamming on us. I did report to the owner, but got no reply. Hopefully they will have fixed now. Bed is so tightly fitted into space that it is difficult to get in and out. To be fair, this is obvious from the photos and is a lesson learned for us for the future.

Location was great, easy to find and parking was not an issue. Loved the little woodburning stove.
A number of things either did not work or did not work as expected: Bathroom sliding door kept falling off the slider and we would get locked in, requires both hands to force the door open. Toilet seat not secure so kept sliding sideways. Kettle would not open so had to fill through the spout. USB sockets above the bed, neither were not working. Outside light only ever came on when the switch was turned on as the sensor was set too high. Gate was not able to secure from the inside as the eye had been removed so could not use the hook and to secure from the outside bolt was a challenge as I am not very tall. Skylight blind, explanation given on how to open it but it put us off touching it so never opened it while we were there. The mattress either needs turning or replacing as you rolled into the centre of each side. It would be better if checkout was 11am as it would make for a more relaced morning on the last day.

Stylish fittings. Excellent knife selection.
Generous crockery supply.
Comfortable bed.
Quiet position, but within easy walking distance of shops, restaurants etc.
No shaver point.
Noisy extractor fans which didn't feature in the manual which itself seemed to be in part about another property! (eventually solved)
The cost! (it was all that was left after another property let me down)

Perfect central, quiet location for a short stay in Ballater. The hut was well equipped and very clean, bed was comfortable.
A light weight summer duvet, the 13.5 tog duvet was too hot during the lovely weather we had as the hut gets very hot!

The hut was comfortable and clean and was great for a short stay. Good central location in Ballater. Had no issues with the shower and amount of hot water.
The wifi signal wasn't great and the connection kept dropping and it kept saying the router needed reset. Emailed the contact to let them know but didn't get a reply

Perfect for a quiet getaway. Bed was reasonably comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped except no microwave or oven (although it’s hard to imagine where it could fit). The tiny wood burner was a real plus on cold mornings.

Absolutely lovely, cosy and inviting Shepard’s hut in the heart of Ballater. This little homely nook has everything one needs for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Hosts were communicative and the welcome book has lots of great local information in it. We hope to be back soon

We loved how well located in Ballater the hut was, central but peaceful. The hut was larger than we thought and was a comfortable stay for us and our labrador
Hut faces the road, but not really an issue
