Royal Deeside Christmas

Enjoy a luxury apartment stay in Ballater, Royal Deeside this winter.

Royal Deeside is in the heart of Scotland and lies in the magnificent valley of the River Dee. Rising high in the Cairngorm Mountains and running east to its mouth at Aberdeen the river flows through some of Scotland’s finest scenery. Midway, in the shadow of Lochnagar mountain, lies Balmoral Castle, summer home of the Royal Family.

As frost covers the hills, the Cairngorms reveal a different kind of beauty, illuminated by the winter sun. The arrival of winter in Scotland doesn’t stop exploring and adventure from happening – simply wrap up warm and head for the hills!

The peaks and sweeping valleys of the Highlands offer endless opportunities for exploration and never to be forgotten experiences, from hiking or biking, to skiing and snowboarding with the arrival of snow in nearby Glenshee and The Lecht. There’s something for everyone in this breathtaking natural playground, and don’t forget to also look up – with low light pollution, incredible vantage points and vast horizons, the Cairngorms is the perfect place to witness the Aurora Borealis or admire the Milky Way.

After a day of adventure outdoors with family and friends, there’s nothing better than returning to our luxury Tullich Apartment to coorie up in front of the TV and indulge in a delicious dinner as you unwind and embrace the evening ahead, recounting the events of the day.

Our spacious apartment features an open plan kitchen/dining/lounge area, two large bedrooms – one with an ensuite shower room – and a further separate shower room. A utility room features a separate sink, washing machine and tumble dryer. A patio area to the front and side, easily accessed by French doors from the lounge, offers the opportunity to use the garden furniture provided.

A relaxing winter holiday can be spent visiting castles, whisky distilleries, art galleries or just taking in the history and scenery of the surrounding area of Royal Deeside . There are a number of beautiful scenic short walks in and around Ballater as well as the Old Royal Station tourist centre, a variety of shops and a good selection of pubs and restaurants all within minutes walk of the apartment. Or maybe even just curl up on the sofa with a good book!
