PREMIER – Crathie View Apartment

PREMIER – Crathie View Apartment Overview

You know what caught me off guard about PREMIER – Crathie View Apartment? The name actually undersells what you’re getting here. I mean, when I first booked it, I was honestly just looking for somewhere decent to crash near the Cairngorms, but this place turned out to be one of those happy accidents that makes you feel like you discovered something special.

The apartment sits in this quiet residential area that feels properly Scottish – none of that touristy stuff, just real Highland charm. What I loved most was waking up to those mountain views (hence the “Crathie View” name, which actually makes sense once you’re there). The morning light hitting the hills is something else, especially if you’re an early riser like me. The setup inside is pretty straightforward – it’s not fancy, but everything works and there’s enough space to actually unpack your bags instead of living out of a suitcase. The kitchen surprised me too; I ended up cooking a few meals because, honestly, the local grocery had some amazing Scottish produce and it felt good to have a proper home base. The heating works well, which matters more than you’d think when you’re dealing with Highland weather – I was there in October and stayed toasty even when it was properly miserable outside.

Location-wise, you’re not in the thick of tourist central, which I actually preferred. It’s quiet enough that you can hear the wind through the trees at night, but you’re still close enough to pop into town when you need supplies or want to grab a pint. Parking was never an issue, which is honestly a relief when you’re driving around the Highlands with a rental car. The check-in process was smooth – no fuss, just straightforward communication from the hosts who clearly know what they’re doing. Look, it’s a solid 3-star place that delivers exactly what it promises without trying to be something it’s not. The rating sits at 6.9, and I’d say that’s fair – it’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s comfortable, clean, and genuinely welcoming in that understated Scottish way. If you’re planning to spend most of your time exploring the area anyway (which you should), this gives you a proper home base without breaking the bank. Just don’t expect luxury amenities – think of it more as staying at a well-kept family place where you can actually relax after a day of hiking or castle-hopping.
