About this property

Riverside Cottage with outdoor terrace and lounge area in Ballater

Riverside Cottage | Royal Deeside | Sleeps 6 | Wood Burner | Newly Renovated Outdoor Terrace | Ballater

A beautifully renovated two-storey cottage in the heart of Ballater, Riverside Cottage is the ideal base for exploring Royal Deeside - from distillery tours and Dee fishing to mountain biking, hiking, and winter skiing at The Lecht.

Sleeping up to 6, the cottage offers a lounge with two large sofas and a wood-burning stove, a fully equipped kitchen, a garden-view dining and sitting room, and a downstairs cloakroom with WC. Upstairs: a super-king double, a twin room convertible to a super-king, and a well-appointed bathroom with built-in shower and a separate large double-ended bath. Two further guests are accommodated on a sofa bed in the garden-view room.

The outdoor space has just been completely renovated and features a new lounge terrace with barbeque - ideal for unwinding after a day outdoors. A private courtyard provides a sheltered al fresco dining area for warmer days.

Ballater's restaurants and cafes are a short walk away, or make full use of the well-equipped kitchen and dine at home.
