Excellent stay
We loved our stay in the Balmoral lodge. Excellent location, well equipped and comfortable. Only tiny thing I’d mention is that in the facilities there is ‘free toiletries’ listed, but it was only hand soap so we did have to nip to the local shop. So maybe just take that off the description as it may be misleading? We’d love to come back again soon, we had a fantastic time. Thank you!

Great lodges in a wonderful location. Peaceful woodland location just minutes from the town centre, a perfect combination. Unfortunately our visit was cut short due to the storm but were offered a full refund. Will be back to stay at the lodges explore the area again.

Great cabins in an excellent location.
Excellent stay and will be back. The cabins are in a great peaceful location and the town of Ballater is a beautiful place. The host, Gordon, was not intrusive in any way but was there if you required anything.

Family getaway
We had a 5 night stay at the Invercauld lodges in Ballater. The lodges were perfect, spotless, comfy beds and had everything you need to cook in the kitchen. It was a great location for a short walk into the town centre. Would highly recommend.

A wee break in Scotland
We had a lovely time in Scotland and Invercauld Lodges were a perfect base to go sightseeing from. We were greeting by Gordon who made us feel most welcome. I was pleasantly surprised by the fact that milk, tea, suger and coffee plus a packet of shortbread were waiting for us upon arrival. Would highly recommend Invercauld Lodges to all.
