We loved our trip to Ballater. The accommodations were wonderful. The location couldn't have been better. Beautiful walks all around including a short one to the local golf course. Loved the proximity to shops and restaurants. Thank you so much for the basket of goodies and for sharing your home!

Cairnie Cottage

4 adults, 2 children and a dog visited Cairnie cottage from 3rd - 6th Jan, our first impressions were that the photos on the VRBO website do not do the cottage justice.It is a very nice cottage, all rooms are spacious including the bathrooms. The cottage is well equipped throughout with modern bathrooms and kitchen.It is located a short walk to a few bars, restaurants and hotels in Ballater itself so perfect for visiting the Deeside area and would recommend this cottage for anyone looking for a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom rental.

Super Unterkunft. Alles sehr sauber. Danke für das Willkommenspaket. Im oberen Bad fehlt die Beschriftung für Shampoo etc in der Dusche, im unteren Bad ist der Duschkopf leicht defekt. Eine Beschreibung für die Mülltrennung wäre gut, da man den Text auf den Mülltonnen teilweise nicht mehr lesen kann. Ansonsten alles top.
