Beautiful stay in a lovely cottage

We loved our stay at Gardener’s Cottage. It looks an out over the main house and the hills beyond - the views are stunning. The house is cosy and had everything we needed. The housekeeper was super helpful with everything. Highly recommended.

Great base for Cairngorms

This property was exactly as expected and really good value. The location is lovely and really convenient for hiking, mountain biking and all the area has to offer. Ballater is very close (less than 10 min cycle). Interior is exactly as in the photos. Plenty of space for boots, coats etc. Comfortable beds with lovely linen.

quiet propertyBallater stay

The property is a little out of the village in a quiet location. The main house was not rented out whilst we were there. As we prefer a quiet location this was ideal for us. Great views from the bedroom windows. The downstairs views slightly blocked by a wall
