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.

Probably the best presented accommodation we have had in 30 years travelling and host Rebecca was wonderful
We were in area visiting Balmoral Castle but suggest this home could easily be the perfect destination in itself

Four of us spent 2 nights in Glendavan House's suites as part of a tour of Scotland. Our welcome to the house was extremely warm, our accommodation spacious and comfortable and breakfast was exceptionally good. A most enjoyable stay. Strongly recommended.

We spent 3 nights at Glendavan to finish a 2 week holiday in Scotland. Best choice we made! Beautiful surroundings, brilliant host, good too and luxurious room.
Logs of walking close by - mainly on the level which we enjoy, plenty of wildlife to see.

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.

A wonderful time at Glendavan. The rooms were fantastic, spacious, wonderfully-decorated and the open fire was a great bonus. No expenses were spared in the consumables and the breakfasts were the best we've had. We hope to be back soon!

Elegant and lovely place! The house is wonderful in every way. We stay in a suite with a sitting room. It has a real fireplace in the room which makes the room very warm. I am so happy to use the real one for the first time. The room is extremely spacious and fancy. The breakfast is excellent! Especially the porridge. The cutlery is beautiful.

Three delightful days spent in this special Highland home nurtured by Rebecca with her gentle manner and delicious breakfasts. Moira's presence is like the red squirrels who inhabit their woodland garden. Discreet but a lovely interaction when she pops up!

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.

My second time in this perfect accommodation.
It is a wonderful B & B. All the rooms are great, it does not matter if you choose the ones above or the one on the ground floor, each one has its own charm and personality. The breakfast if totally wonderful. It is the perfect environment to enjoy the nature and tranquility of Scotland. I would repeat one and a thousand times.
Rebecca makes everything perfect and wonderful.

Cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough. Our room was exceptionally large and well equipped for the price and the view from the conservatory was worth the drive.
We met the mother and daughter who ran the house and both were extremely friendly and made our stay perfect.

This was the second time we've been in Glendavan and we've promised to return. The reception and treatment of the team during our stay was fantastic, everything was easy and they helped us to take advantage of our days there. The house is deligthful, with fantastic suites and about breakfast, I only can say that my daughters want Glendavan breakfast at home.

Un lugar increíble, muy acojedor, con unas habitaciones enormes llenas de detalles. La casa está situada en un lugar sin ruidos ni tráfico y las personas que la gestionan son muy atentas. Si visitas los Highlands, tienes que dormír al menos una noche aquí.

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!
Rebecca, thank you very much!

I can only say that this is certainly a heaven on earth. The hosts Rebecca and Moira created the most magical atmosphere and brilliant welcome. There was nothing left out,cleanliness, food, and the most beautiful setting imaginable cannot be described, one has to see and feel the whole package. Rebecca gave herself to each guest and made you feel like a million dollars. Nothing was too much trouble. if there was a star rating of one million it would not be enough. Thank you so much.
