“Lovely stay in a great location!”
We had a lovely long weekend at Balnacraig Lodge. The lodge was clean, spacious and had everything we needed for a relaxing girls weekend. The views were simply stunning and the hot tub was a real treat. Nice peaceful location but also close enough to Aviemore and other places of interest. We have already been discussing a return visit
