Have just returned from an 8 night stay at this wonderful CL. As stated by previous reviewers the CL really has everything you could ask for. The access road to the CL is tarmaced, no pot holes here! The owners work very hard to keep everything in pristine condition. The town of Banchory has a Tesco and a Morrison for fuel and groceries, there are also various local shops, including an award winning bakery and a fabulous garden centre which has a restaurant and a cafe. If you are a member of the National Trust you will be spoiled for choice as there are so many Trust properties in the area worth a visit. The CL has a two mile circular walk which is ideal for exercising dogs off lead. We had a great holiday here and hope to visit again soon.
