The history and location are amazing

I can’t think of a better place from which to explore the Cairngorms. This property, including our little cottage, is an historical gem. You will have to manage a few tiny comfort issues like no shower, the cushions on the living room furniture were worn to the point you are sitting in the frame, there were spiders (harmless) everywhere. The washing machine is in another community building, the queen bed is actually two twins pushed together so it was too short for my husband. But even with those concessions, we loved it!! The fire place was wonderful, the rooms are decorated with botanical and hunting prints. The kitchen had just been redone and was equipped with everything we needed including the prettiest china. We would definitely stay again.

Cozy hideaway

The cottage has very spacious living areas and had everything the two of us needed for a quiet and relaxing stay while we explored the area. We especially appreciated taking a soak after long walks. Would definitely book again at our next chance to visit Ballater.

The trip I have been waiting for

The estate was beautiful. The cottage so cute and quaint. Like having my own little house. The weather wasn’t best but being here made it all tolerable. A hotel room somewhere would not have worked. Lovely town and lovely people. Thank you.

Pretty cottage in beautiful setting.

This was a very pretty cottage in a beautiful setting. It was tastefully decorated and furnished. It was clean and well equipped. If the bath had been fitted with a shower head and a screen then it would have been totally perfect. We enjoyed our stay there. Our day at the Balater Highland Games and our day at Balmoral were the highlights of our stay. A winter holiday there with the log fire would be absolutely idylic.

A very comfortable cottage, very close to nice places to discover (Dee riverside, Ballater, Loch Muick, etc.). Very quiet too, and a beautiful view on the mountains. Suggestion: the description of the cottage could be better with a photo and few words about the bathrooms.

The vacation apartment is very nicely located. The bedrooms were nice, but the beds were relatively hard. The sofas in the living room could use some upgrading. The kitchen is well-equipped. The downside is that there's no shower curtain, which makes showering difficult. It would also be nice to have a toilet upstairs near the bedrooms.
