Ahhhhhh! Littleton is a slice of heaven!

I cannot tell you how much my wife and I enjoyed the Littleton cottage, Ballater and the entire area. The cottage is perfectly located…easy trip into town for supplies or a lovely coffee at The BothyBallater, and yet the cottage is quiet and peaceful. We had a lovely visit with the neighbor’s sheep and saw some cute, just born lambs. The deer and pheasants made the stay that much better. Can’t wait to plan a trip back!

Very comfortable cottage in beautiful location.

The cottage is set in a beautiful location in woodland with hills beyond. Ballater is the nearest small town which is 20 mins walk away with cafes, shops and restaurants. We had a lovely time. Highly recommended.

An incredible surrounding and beautiful house

for us it was a relaxing environment in a very busy week. Our participation in the Royal Deeside golf week could not be better than from this beautiful house. in the house everything is present and clean. The access road to the house can be a problem for low cars, in our case it resulted in a flat tire due to the loose stones.

Beautiful Getaway

We had a wonderful week in this well equiped cottage. Nothing was missing, except some pint glases for beer lovers. But this is nothing essential ;) we would love to come back some day. Ballater is a lively small town that welcomes you!

Great owners

We had a problem accessing the property when we arrived and Jacqui and Lynn could not have been more helpful in getting it resolved. The cottage's location is beautiful and so peaceful and the cottage itself is very well equipped with everything we needed. Thank you.

Comfy, cosy and so special

The cottage was exceptional, well equiped, very clean, nicely decorated and positioned close to Ballater for walks into town for lunch or a coffee and wander around and to visit the local attractions and nearby towns. It is also positioned well to visit the east coast and whiskey trail areas and the Cairngorm walks. Staying for a week it was so helpful having the laundry and equipment. Our stay was very enjoyable.

Littleton Cottage

We've had a wonderful stay at Littleton , the cottage is very well equipped and comfortable . The weather was stunning and not one shower for the week , we thoroughly enjoyed watching the deer at night and listening to the birds and wildlife on the estate . The area is so beautiful and Littleton was a really lovely tranquil place to stay away from the pressures of life , we will be back

Lovely house in a beautiful setting

A lovely house surrounded by fields and woodland. Well-equipped generally and nicely furnished, bright and spacious. It’s just a short drive from Ballater. It was just perfect for our week’s stay in the Cairngorms.

Peaceful and relaxed

A very well equipped and comfortable cottage in a very peaceful and relaxed location. So much to do in the Ballater area and some lovely walks in the forest surrounding the cottage. Lovely to see the deer coming up to the cottage garden.

Beautiful Property, Stunning Location

Beautifully presented property in a quiet woodland location but within walking distance of Ballater. Very impressed on first entering Littleton; lovely furnishings and pictures. The house was warm, spacious and very comfortable for a longer stay. Stunning countryside and rivers to explore with easy access and walking paths. Ballater is a friendly town with lots of shops and eateries. It is well worth driving down to Loch Muick and to the top of the Cairngorms both day and night for fabulous long views and dark sky stars!
