We stayed 3 nights in Clunie Cottage, one of 4 set around a court yard. The whole cottage was well arranged for wheelchair access. I found the bedroom a little snug. There was no room for a dressing table, difficult to get a mirror set up to do hair and makeup. I used the bathroom mirror. No big deal really. There was a laundry room ,which also had extra fridges if you need, with washers and dryers for everyone to use. The manager and staff were all very friendly and helpful. The setting was lovely, beside the river Dee, a short walk to Crathie Church and village. The car park to Barmoral Castle is right at the entance road to the cottages, so visiting the Castle and its grounds is easy in a wheelchair from the cottage. The Castle is closed from July to October when the Royal family are in residence. Unfortunately for me I didnt get to see around the grounds, which was disappointing. Maybe next time. Getting out for a walk with the dog from the cottage is easy with mostly flat paved roads from the cottage. It is very quiet and restful. Perfect for those with disabilities.
