  This property was full of wonderful furniture, fixtures and decorations but we arrived during the hot period in August.

  We had decided ahead to bring a fan just in case, and thank goodness we did. All the windows (both downstairs and bedrooms) in the property barely open so there is no air circulating and the heat hit us as soon as we arrived. We used our fan and ended up buying another one to try and stay cool (there is no outside space at this property). Other disappointments included no welcome/information pack AT ALL so no instruction leaflets, information leaflets about the area, recommendations etc. No information either about the bins so had to leave them full. There was nothing to clean with - no broom, dustpan, hoover ....... Our beds were wonderfully comfortable but the pillows and duvets and covers for them all were very poor quality (especially compared to the rest of the fittings and furnishings) and these didn't help in the heat of the night which was unbearable. It was lovely that we were able to bring our little dog with us but sadly she hurt her leg and was unable to walk which meant we couldn't even go out in the evening to get some cool air. We would love to say we'd like to return because overall, the flat was lovely and well equipped as far as expensive furniture and decorations but the window problem spoilt our stay. This flat could be perfect, it's so well located but we expected more - better bedlinen, some information, cleaning utensils and some air! for the money that we paid to stay here (£1087!).

  We have visited Mar Lodge for a number of years and the location is spectacular that’s why we keep going back.

  It is quite remote but Braemar is close by with a small Spar for essentials, a couple of small cafes, my favourite art gallery & of course the recently refurbished luxury hotel. It is noticeably around Mar area much busier post covid with campervans galore & cars which was quite a nuisance when trying to walk along the road within the Mar estate even the private roads (where they should not have been) we had to stop numerous times & in one instance had to move into the undergrowth as a campervan was so wide. To be fair the road sign is too small for drivers to see. We were there off season so goodness knows what it would be like in the height of summer. The lodge itself is lovely but not luxury so it makes for a comfortable stay when you have children & dogs. The only down side is the kitchen it’s really small for the size of lodge & the cooker oven caused me no end of troubles trying to get it to the right temperature but that could just be me. Maybe some simple instructions near the cooker would help. Other than that it is great for large families or friends to get together in the most wonderful location with numerous hill walks & best scenery you could ever want on the doorstep. As per usual our very large family get together, all loved it. We will be back.

  On reading one of the reviews I was bit cautious about coming to the Duplex but please don’t be put off!

  The host is so helpful especially when I asked a silly question! As in no outside space for dogs, you literally walk two minutes and you are at a green space or up in the community wood! The dog walks are amazing! My car never moved the whole 5 days we were there! For the traffic we didn’t hear anything... The flat itself is very comfortable and everything you need (would suggest maybe pulling out the sofas every so often as the dog kept putting its toy under and it was rather gritty/dusty hadn’t been moved for a while and same with the cooker hood). The bathrooms are like something out of a hotel! Moffat is great, most of the pubs are dog friendly! Unfortunately during our stay alot of the pubs were closed, but can recommend the Coachman! Amazing macaroni cheese, great gin selection and so dog friendly! We absolutely loved it and would totally recommend it to anyone!

  The church conversion was very beautifully done and we loved the living/kitchen area.

  All appliances were excellent and easy to use. We loved the decor, the flooring, the curtains and fabrics and it was generally very stylish and chic. All the accommodation was spotlessly clean. The bedding and towels were again excellent. There were a few things which could have made a real difference though A welcome pack. Most similarly priced self catering would provide a few essential items Extra rubbish bins. There was only the kitchen bin and I would expect at least a bathroom bin to deposit things such as dental floss Bathroom products. We only had handwash and body lotion. Shampoo and shower gel would have been appreciated Guest book. This was the only self catering establishment I have ever stayed in that did not have a guest book or info on the local area.

  Beautiful stately home where the whole family could relax in comfort.

  Spectacular scenery - walking every day. Staff on site were so helpful and welcoming. The facilities were good. The only issue was the oven, which didn’t work efficiently - cooking is essential as the location is so remote. We also felt check in time of 5 and checkout time of 9.30 was unhelpful. We had stayed before when it was administered by The National Trust and we got in earlier and check out time was later. The cost was high and we had travelled quite a distance so we would have appreciated a 3 or 4 o’clock check in and a bit more time in the morning to get 17 people (four of them young children) out! However, we all had a wonderful time and we do hope to stay again.
