Perfect!
Mayfield is a beautiful property which has been furnished to a luxurious standard.
The arctic cabin was so much fun and really cosy once the bbq had been lit.
With nothing to fault, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property.

Lovely long weekend
We had a lovely stay at this beautiful cottage. We enjoyed the walks and hospitality of Ballater and were able to enjoy the comfort of the cottage and unwind in the arctic cabin in the evenings. The host was extremely helpful also and replied to queries very quickly. Highly recommend.

Fabulous weekend
The house and gardens are even better than the pictures show.
Everything was very clean and comfortable. All the facilities you might need are there for you. The Welcome pack was very much appreciated too!
The decked area is an absolute sun trap and the Artic Cabin is the cherry on top - ideal for evening drinks or all weather BBQs. Nicely located for a short walk into town (5 mins) (Make sure you try the Ice Cream Shop!) or for touring the Cairgorm Natioanl Park.
Fabulous!
