The front door access leads to a beautiful entrance hallway and staircase and access from the garden at the back of the property leads you in through the sun room to the back hall.

The sun room which overlooks the private garden is a perfect place to enjoy some drinks, play board games , read or simply relax away from the rest of the house. It is bright and warm in the Summer and cosy and inviting in Winter.

The large garden benefits from a dining area which gets the afternoon / evening sun, a fire pit, BBQ and two large picnic benches. There is a herb and vegetable garden that guests are encouraged to pick from in return for some light watering if needed.

Situated in the centre of Ballater Village in the Highlands only 7 miles from Balmoral Castle, the property is an ideal spot to explore both in village and the surrounding National Park. Lewis Lodge is the perfect getaway for those looking to immerse themselves in nature and relaxation with an assortment of outdoor activities including hillwalking, fishing, cycling and wildlife spotting all on our doorstep.

Lewis Lodge is a 1 min walk from the Village Centre which is home to many fine restaurants including Conde Nast's "Restaurant of The Year 2023", traditional shops, cafes and pubs. Whether you prefer to relax by the fireside with a drink in the Arms or dance the night away with live music in the Balmoral Bar, there are plenty of options for those looking for some local hospitality. You will find Sheridan's the Butcher, bakery and deli all serving local produce. We are only a five minute walk to the River Dee and Ballater Golf Club.

Ballater provides multiple options for walkers, climbers, whisky enthusiasts, golfers, castle connoisseurs, fishers and bird watchers. Bike hire and a tourist information centre are found in the village as well as many outdoor stores to kit you out for our "four seasons in one day" Scottish weather.
