About the host

Hosted by Trish Davis

Host profile image
Hello, my name is Trish and Balciuin is my home. I was born in Cornwall, lived in various places but finally settled in the beautiful Highlands of Scotland. I run Balciuin as a B&B for most of the year but I do like to visit family or simply to go on holiday and if I can let my house this allows me financially to go away.

Why they chose this property

Balciuin is in a beautiful location deep in the Cairngorm National Park. The house has stunning views across The Abernethy Forest to The Cairngorm Mountains, South from the house there are no roads until you reach Pitlochry and South East only the mountains until you reach Ballater.
Nethy Bridge is an ideal location to explore the whole of the highlands, day trips to the north coast, west coast, Moray coast, Skye, Aberdeen and the central belt are all possible although the immediate vicinity has so much to offer you are unlikely to want to venture far away.
Because it is a home it is very well equipped and allows guests to have that real home from home feeling. I just pack all my personal bits into the fifth bedroom, lock the door and give guests free range over the rest of the property.

What makes this property unique

Well equipped home from home in a stunning location. Three en- suites with one consisting of two large interconnecting rooms plus family bathroom. Large sunroom with underfloor heating, log burning fire in lounge and trampoline in the very large garden.
