About this property

Scottish cabin-style cottage with large garden in Braemar village

Short Term Let Licence number: AS-00330-F. EPC Band D

Cosy cabin-style cottage sleeping up to 6 people in the grounds of the owners' own cottage but completely independent. The cabin has two double and one twin bedroom, a living room/kitchen and bathroom and is all on one level. The cabin has wrap-around decking, use of the extensive garden and plenty parking. There is a gas barbeque for guests' exclusive use. The cabin is in the village of Braemar with excellent hiking in the summer from the door as well as being 20 minutes from Glen Shee for winter ski-ing. Shops, restaurants and the bus are all close by. The recently-renovated Fife Arms is just along the street - check it out at - great pub food, live music, formal dining and a cocktail lounge. A great new addition to the village!
We are happy to accommodate children by supplying a travel cot and high chair. The large, wilder part of the garden behind the chalet does have a pond and this part of the garden is fenced off.

If you have an electric car, there are two charge points in the village, one beside the toilets in the main car park behind the butcher, and the other in the car park opposite the Invercauld Hotel (opposite side of the road). They are pictured in the property listing's photos. Please let us know if you can't use these chargers as we can run a line from the shed for you. There will be a £15.00 fee for each time you charge your car at the cabin, based on RAC data.

A must stay at cottage in Braemar
Fiona and Colin's cottage is perfect for a long or short stay. This is our second visit and we're planning #3 for 2025. The cottage is well located, quiet, quick walk to the village. The 'worst' part of the cottage is having to be entertained by the rabbits, robins and red squirrels. Such a delight. The cottage has everything you need for a fabulous stay in Braemar.

Peaceful break
Lovely cottage with everything youll ever need for a weeks stay in it. Amazing garden and so close to restaurants, cafes and local attractions. Local walks are beatiful too. Would have given it 6 stars if it had a hot tub 😁 Hosts are very helpful and friendly.

Fantastic cabin and hosts
We stayed for 4 nights during May 2023. Host couldn’t have been more accommodating - true Scottish hospitality at its finest. The cabin is even better than the photographs suggest and the gardens are lovely too. Perfectly located to explore Braemar and surrounding area. Thank you for a lovely stay!

About the host

Hosted by Fiona Hunter

Host profile image
My husband and I are now semi-retired and live most of the time in Braemar. Our cabin is located in the grounds of our cottage. Sometimes, we will be an hour away at our house in Aberdeen. We love to spend time in Braemar and take advantage of the many activities available as well as a regular programme of cultural events and festivals during the year.

Why they chose this property

When we bought this property, we were astounded by the garden and the opportunities presented by having a separate "guest house", which is now our rental cabin. We very much enjoy welcoming people to our property.

What makes this property unique

The cabin in ideally suited in Braemar village but with excellent access to all surrounding areas, especially if you are keen on walking or ski-ing. There are several shops and restaurants in Braemar, all within about 400 yards of the cabin. The cabin is completely independent of our own, older-style traditional cottage so guests are able to come and go in complete freedom and enjoy their stay.
