Set in the heart of Royal Deeside, Glendavan House was built as a shooting lodge in 1886. The house stands in its own extensive grounds - seven acres of natural pine woodland overlooking Loch Davan - within the newly created Cairngorms National Park. The grounds are home to varied Highland wildlife including regularly sighted red squirrels and roe deer. The loch is a protected bird sanctuary - in the autumn, thousands of greylag geese settle on their journey south, sharing territory with whooper swans, mallard ducks, moorhens and a family of otters.
Accommodation is provided in 2 suites of rooms incorporating bedroom, bathroom and sitting room with real coal fires. The Ogston Suite also incorporates a gorgeous conservatory from which you can view the family of red squirrels feeding just a few yards away. The upstairs Trantor Suite offers cosy comfort with a four poster bed and enormous bathroom with roll top bath. The Davan room, with newly refurbished ensuite bathroom, offers fabulous views over Loch Davan.
Furnished to the highest standards, each suite and room combines bespoke and antique furniture, Victorian features and luxurious fabrics with state of the art, modern facilities. Accommodation at Glendavan has been tailored to offer every guest a little bit of luxury in a relaxed and informal manner.

Such a beautiful house and setting in a quiet location. Rebecca is a fabulous host with a talent for pampering her guests and making them feel very welcome. My husband and I recently spent 13 nights in 12 different very nice B&B’s throughout Scotland. This stay ranked number one with us!

If you stay with Rebecca you won‘t regret it. Her house is amazing! Our room (the Davan) was spacious, clean and had a great odor. The furniture also looks very nice and everywhere are small details to find. The bed is large and very comfortable. For breakfast you have a variety of options to choose from. What we liked most was the huge amount of different fresh fruits and also the cold meats and cheese platter. The Glendavan house is located at the edge to the woods and also to a smaller lake right around the corner. This makes it a great starting point for some hiking tours. The nearest restaurant is about 6 miles away in Ballater. But choosing this location you should have a car anyways.
The price per night is not the cheapest, but you get a lot for what you pay.
We highly recommend staying here!

Thankyou Becs for our stay in your stunningly beautiful, elegant and oh so very comfortable Glendavan House. We genuinely did not want to leave. We felt so spoiled with your warm hospitality and delicious cooking. You really have given us memories to treasure. If heaven is real then please let it be exactly like our stay at Glendavan House with Becs.
We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending a stay at Glendavan House. It is also situated perfectly for feeling you have escaped to a countryside retreat but close enough to well recommended eateries for dinner and for sightseeing in this beautiful part of Scotland. Our best wishes to you and your family. Thankyou. Barrie & Murray.xx.

Here in the Glendavan house everything is perfect! Never had a better B&B!
The house resides in wonderful surrounding, a very quite place with lots of nature around and a wonderful view. The served Breakfast has a very wide variety in a wonderful designed room and a comparable design with very much attention to even smallest details you can expect in your room incl. your bathroom.
If that wasn't already enough to feel comfortable please enjoy your host. Her hospitality is simply stunning and you as a guest will feel @home from the initial hello until you leave the house again.
So long story short: don't look for other options, enjoy the Glendavan house. It's a wonderful place to stay.

My husband and I spent three nights at Glendavan House at the end of June, 2019. Rebecca was a most gracious, friendly, and informative host, as well as an excellent cook. The house is everything you might imagine beautiful, spacious, and well maintained. Ask for one of the suites on the main floor if you don’t want to pull suitcases up a 20 step staircase, and would like a sitting area apart from the bedroom. Otherwise, enjoy the lovely view of Caingorm National Park out of the upstairs window of the Davan bedroom.

Myself and my partner hugely enjoyed our 3 night stay at Glendavan House. One of the best b&b's I have stayed at. It is located in a peaceful beautiful wooded area near Ballater. The suites are large and comfortable. And our host Rebecca was welcoming and very helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. And all the small touches such as setting up the fireplace with fresh coal and tinder as well as port and ferrer rocher in the room all made this a great experience. 5 star.

Our stay at the Glendavon House will always be one with very fond memories. Your hospitality and helpfulness were wonderful. Your cheerfulness was something that helped start each day and will be food for many of our stories when we tell our US friends about our Scotland vacation. Oh, speaking of Food-your breakfasts were superb with your variety of choices.
My only complaint was that we did not spend more time with you and Angus and your Mother. BTW we found my wife’s iPhone packed in with her make-up.

What a lovely place to stay. Very warm welcome indluding squirrel and pheasant. Most comfortable room with big bathroom. Many extras to feel at home. And the breakfast! We never have seen such a variety of fresh fruit and so nicely prepared and arranged. Our Muesli was overloaded, because the temptation to taste all the freuits was too big. A pity that we were touring around Scotland and could not have stayed any longer. Best place we have ever visited!
