Perfect location, cosy and clean.

A very nice clean and warm apartment. The rooms were nicely furnished and the double bed was very comfortable. The location is ideal for Ballater centre, trips to Loch Muick and the local Munro's.
This apartment does not overlook the river.

Good information was provided about location, parking and getting the keys. Parking is underneath the building, so it's dry and out of public view. The apartment is spacious and comfortable, with good heating, wifi and kitchen. The main double bed is huge and very comfortable. Ballater is a pleasant large village with an excellent bakery, modern Co-op, petrol station, several cafes and pubs, some open even in the middle of winter. It's only 20 min to Braemar, on a good road. The location is quiet and safe, and there was no noise in the apartment. There's a neat cantilevered coffee table, a kind I haven't seen before.
As it happened, it snowed quite heavily when I was there, and getting my car up the ramp from the parking area was a problem once or twice! The dining chairs fold away to save space, but they're not very comfortable to sit on, and I need to sit at a table to use my computer. But those are small issues and there's nothing you can do about snow in Scotland! A grit bin might help (there was one outside the apartment block but it was empty).

cosy comfortable apartment with everything we needed for a short break.

The location was great, everything you needed was within walking distance. Good selection of home entertainment incl dvds, books etc. All linen was included. Good size bathroom and en-suite. Good sized rooms. Lots of storage and plenty coat hangers in the wardrobes.
Flat seemed a bit tired. Could do with sprucing up. Too many unnecessary pictures. Towels left in the main bedroom had seen better days. One towel had so many threads pulled on it you could not use it. Towels did not smell fresh mainly I think because they are kept in closed plastic boxes under the bed. Stains on carpets need to be seen to. Table cloth on arrival was just bundled up and shoved between the legs of the table. Shelves in the kitchen cupboards could do with a clean. On arrival both the building door and the door to the flat were open/unlocked.

Location was brilliant just a 2 minute walk into town centre - apartment was self catering so no supplies there - you made your own breakfast and dinner - so we brought some of our own food and things like teabags sugar milk bread cereal etc we purchased from the local coop and also snacks and stuff for dinner or we went out for dinner - was good we had the choice to stay indoors for dinner if we were tired after hillwalking or decide to go out for dinner if we felt like it - had 2 bathrooms which was a bonus plus lovely and warm - was perfect - rooms not looking onto River Dee but when you walked round back River Dee was there and was lovely
Everything was lovely about the apartment-though checkout at 10 - I feel wee bit early - no negatives about the apartment itself though was brilliant and very clean throughout

Great location - right by centre of village and bus stops but also nice and peaceful. Good value for money compared to many places in the area. Host was great and the property warm and comfortable.

It was beautiful and the location was excellent
There was nothing we did not like
4.5
Good clean accommodation in a great location. Everything we needed for a lovely holiday.
the only negative was that Booking.com didn't provide details for where to park and where the keysafe was or the code for the keysafe. This meant when we arrived at the property we had no means to get in. We were fortunate to arrive early and the cleaner was still there to help us.
4.5
Nice clean comfortable apartment.
Lack of advice of where to obtain the keys to the apartment, owner was not very happy we had to phone him for information,said should of been informed by booking.com,which we did not get.
