Our family took a 4 day trip to Glenshee and stayed in a nice little cottage on an estate (Dalmunzie) at Spittal of Glenshee. We had a great time although it was quite warm at 4 degrees. The Glenshee ski resort is not at all like Ben Nevis or Aviemore which are much more tourist oriented. Glenshee is just for skiers and I think if you are a skier a much better experience as right from the road both sides there are ski lifts going straight to the slopes. We had a great time sledging right off the road on nice 50-100ft slopes of good snow.
We visited Breamar and Ballater and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is apptly named Royal Deeside as the high quality is evident everywhere. The cottage was a bit rough and ready, but cozy and quaint with log fires so we had nice evenings. We can highly recommend Dalmunzie and the friendly staff, I have put a link below to their web site), We also saw a good 50 stags and deer on the hills a wonderful sight.

You've had a nice holiday, haven't you? I've never been to Glenshee, but it sounds like a place that is worth visiting. I might go there with my wife for a few days, so to make it up for St. Valentine's. She's a bit mad at me because I had to work till late. Which Ballater hotel did you stay in, while you were in Royal Deeside?
ReplyDeleteSorry to say we didn't stay in any although they looked very smart, in fact the whole town is smart. But we stayed in a cottage at Dalmunzie estate (google it) and they were very friendly and the cottage (2 bedrooms)was ok for 220 pounds for 4 of us for 3 nights. I doubt you would get a hotel for that!
