Lovely place to stay

One weeks annual holiday. Ballater is a great place for a short break. Plenty of great eating place. Great local works and an ideal base for the many Munros in the surrounding area.

Super- will stay again.

A lovely little cottage. The owners are friendly, helpful people. Very easy to work with but never intrusive.The cottage is spotlessly clean with a comfy bed and everything you could need without being cluttered with stuff you don’t need! We particularly liked the private little patio.

Loved our stay at the cottage

The cottage was ideal for us . Everything we needed for a self catering holiday. The wet room was ideal for my husband who has mobility issues and the little patio gave us outside space. Great comfy beds and everything spotlessly clean This is the second time we have stayed here and we are looking forward to coming back for a third soon

Just. Like home

Clean.tidy cottage , all you find is just as described. For a married couple it was perfect, though not suitable for children, but then Ballater itself is not a place for teenagers.
