  From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with the warmest welcome and genuine kindness. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and happiness throughout our stay, making us feel like part of their family. The accommodation itself was incredibly comfortable and impeccably clean, providing us with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We enjoyed spending time both inside the cozy cottage and outside in the beautiful surroundings, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. Our stay happened to coincide with Eid alfeter, and we were pleasantly surprised by Angus and Gudy's thoughtful gift to celebrate the special occasion. Their generosity and attention to detail truly made our stay unforgettable. We can't wait to return to this charming cottage and will definitely be recommending it to all our friends and family. Thank you, Angus and Gudy, for an unforgettable experience!

  They were very caring and attentive, helping me find matches, offering more firewood, and putting fresh milk, butter, orange juice and wine in the fridge for my arrival. It was a very warm and cosy stay. Everything was clean and tidy, and I had a great night's sleep, as well as enjoying the rainfall shower. The birds outside were alive with song and it was a truly very peaceful place to be. Thank you so much for being such lovely hosts. I will be sure to recommend your bothy to anyone wishing to explore the Cairngorms or find a peaceful retreat.

  Angus and Judy were the perfect hosts and have created a wonderful holiday home equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. There were so many thoughtful touches which made our stay extra special. There was so much bird activity in the garden and we spent hours watching them from the window, we even saw waxwings.

  So many thanks for your feedback and comment about being one of your best holiday home visits. Re the 88/100 score the following two issues were raised : 1. Accuracy of the listing was raised in feedback- it would appear that information on the Sykes website is either incorrect or confusing - this should be raised with us and Sykes to correct if required. 2. Re comfort- this obviously fed into your overall score— In your very kind thank you card when you left you said how very comfortable the Bothy was .

  We really can't fault our stay even if we tried. The Bothy is gorgeous, well-equipped, boasting incredible the surrounding hills and woodlands. With Ballater, Aboyne, and Banchory all within a 20-30 minute drive, you're spoiled for choice for places to go visit and jumping off points for incredible walks in and around the Cairngorms. Angus and Judy are lovely too - they're very close by and more than happy to help in any way they can. We're especially thankful checking in on our dog while we'd gone out for dinner and the lovely birthday card and cake we got when they learned that we were up to celebrate my husband's birthday.

  Just stepping out of the car the owners were so welcoming (& understanding of my previous cancellation / postponement). Throughout my weeks stay they were always considerate & sociable, imparting local knowledge that was greatly appreciated. The bothy itself is impeccably fitted out, the kitchen in particular is suitable for anything form a quick bite to a full roast! The view from the dining table over the hills is just a perfect start to the day - either soaking in the sun or watching the clouds rolling over the hills (neither disappoints, and changes minute by minute). And the waterfall shower is an ideal end to to a days walking round the Finzean estate and beyond. And as for sleep.... wow! A really comfortable bed & countryside peace makes a perfect combination. There is a lack of mobile signal in the area for some networks. But that's not necessarily a negative! Wi-Fi always available in the property. Thank you Angus & Judy, already looking at a return in 2024

  The Bothy is truly a home from home with everything you might need from the smallest detail, from the outstanding cleanliness and generosity supplied little extras. The orchar is so pretty to walk or sit for a while and there are great walks for dogs and children on the door step Our hosts were very welcoming, kind, informative and a delight to talk to, such a wonderful couple. ( and their two precious little dogs) We were a part of two with our dog and the Bothy is definitely set up well for four guests. 100% recommend Drumhead Bothy for your next stay even in the depths of a snowy time as I can assure you that you will not be cold. Lastly watching the wild birds from the huge apex window was a delight and mesmerising from early morning to late evening.

  The accommodation was excellent with everything you could expect and more. If you found that it was lacking anything a quick chat with either Angus or Judy (the owners) would resolve this. They are excellent hosts and nothing is of any trouble for them, they make you feel extremely welcome and just want to make sure that you have an awesome time. There is a lovely secure garden which our pup enjoyed but be aware there is an indented pond. The views were amazing and during the 3 weeks we were there we experienced all the seasons Scotland could throw at us, we even had snow in April.

The owners were home in their nearby cottage and could not have been more hospitable. Lovely people. There is an orchard on the grounds, which like the rest of the property is immaculate and was ideal to walk the dog. The farm shop which is a short walk away is great for local produce and breakfast. Thank you to our hosts for making our break one to remember!
