Cairn View is a well-loved cottage praised for its peaceful and beautiful surroundings. Guests appreciate the comfortable, well-equipped accommodation and the secluded, scenic woodland setting. The nearby town of Banchory offers additional amenities and attractions. Despite some minor issues with internet connectivity and mismatched kitchenware, the lodge's charm and tranquility make it a highly recommended retreat.
The property is generally regarded as clean, with repeat visitors and positive remarks about its upkeep. However, no specific details on cleanliness were provided to give a perfect score.
The location is highly praised for its quietness, privacy, and easy access to local facilities, including historic castles and playgrounds, making it an ideal setting.
Guests find the lodge very comfortable, with a warm atmosphere and spacious accommodation. The addition of a dual air fryer was appreciated, although there was a minor note about the lodge not being suitable for six adults.
The lodge is well-equipped and offers great value, but some guests noted a lack of matching glasses, chipped cups, and insufficient outdoor cushions. The poor internet connection was a notable drawback.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Great setting - bedroom & bathroom very good. Warm place - only put heating on for a short time in evenings. Would not work for 6 adults.Some random equipment - e.g. no matching glasses for drinks, many of cups were chipped as were some bowls, only 3 cushions for seats outside ( 5 people )
