The bonus is that you can walk to the trailheads of two great hikes, one up Morrone and one up Creag Coinnich. The house is well-equipped with comfortable couches and good reading lights (so many houses seem to think no one ever reads!) The one bed we stayed in was very comfortable and the shower water hot! We totally enjoyed staying here. (Not a negative, just a note: the staircase to the second floor is quite steep.) Would definitely stay again. ##### Anne B.

The garden was spectacular with red squirrels, rabbits and plenty of wildlife. The collection of books and artworks in the house was much appreciated. This is not a property if for those wanting flashy or ultra modern but it is a fabulous place to stay to enjoy the Cairngorms. ##### Dr Belinda S. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### John S. 7 Aug 2014 #### Wonderful home for long term stay We booked Sunnybrae for a month long stay in the Cairngorms for sightseeing and hiking, and were thrilled with this home! It provided plenty of space for a party of 7, rooms one could sneak off to for a nap without being disturbed, a spacious kitchen and table for all to gather around, all the while being centrally located in the Highlands to explore. It has all the amenities one needs for an extended stay. The owners were very helpful both in the lead up to our trip as well as during our stay, as was the property manager who lives in the village. The village itself was a real treat and is an easy walk from the house. Braemar offers many hikes and is a great locations for day trips to explore the culture and history of the Highlands. I highly recommend this rental! ##### John S. ### 6/10 Okay #### Valerie S. 12 Jul 2023 Liked: Check-in, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### SUNNYBRAE, BRAEMAR The location was fabulous and the garden was a joy. The house was okay but would have benefited from the owners having been less defensive and having acted upon issues already raised by previous reviewers e.g. the mattresses/pillows were very uncomfortable, the tap in the upstairs toilet is very stiff and difficult to turn on or regulate the temperature, especially cold (even the caretaker couldn't sort out). The old books (inc Masters of Modern Science, 1935 edition! and the complete Encyclopaedia Britannica) are not everyone's idea of holiday reading. The very old incomplete jigsaws and games and the selection of classical CDs (impressive but not to everyone's taste) - all still there, as are the bowls of old scentless potpourri. I would add to these issues,that the toilet upstairs is set back in a combe behind the oversized sink unit so we had to sit askew to avoid bumped heads and banging legs on sharp edges of the unit. The grouting in the shower is in need of freshening up. No welcome pack was listed or expected but the herbs and spices which are listed included a pot of curry powder that expired in 2022 and a chilli that had expired in 1995! The television is old (not smart TV) and there is no satellite or cable as listed, just freeview. We took a firestick to have an option of watching movies in the evenings but, as mentioned by previous reviewers, there was nowhere we could all watch together. It would be good to have a tv in the lounge area. I have ##### Valerie S. Stayed 10 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Gordon W. 28 Oct 2024 Liked: Check-in ##### Gordon W.

The house has a beautiful, spacious garden with a great view. The house itself has lots of rooms and is a comfortable base for exploring Braemar and surroundings. Braemar is a nice village with several restaurants, a good butcher and other shops. Lots of walks start in the village. And if you like to see more, there is plenty to do nearby. ##### Bart v.

The house was cosy and homely. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need. The garden and views are fantastic, I will miss enjoying a cuppa, whilst watching the red squirrels scamper about. All the shops are within walking distance as well as a number of places to eat. The reason I have given 4 stars for the overall rating is that the king-size bed really needs changing. I was looking forward to catching up on some sleep but unfortunately the bed was really uncomfortable. ##### Kate T. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### David S. 31 Aug 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Our stay at Sunny Brae last week in August 2021 Excellent location with good walks directly from the house itself. A 10-15 minute drive to Linn of Dee or Invercauld Estate provides easy access to some truly stunning walks ranging from one to several hours, take your pick. We were lucky and the weather was stunning the whole time we were there. Braemar is very small nestled between two rivers and has shops but if you want more it is a pleasant 30 minute drive to Ballater. The gardens at Sunny Brae are gorgeous and we would sip our morning coffee watching the rabbits and red squirrels. The house itself is exactly as described. The downstairs is split into relatively small rooms but there is a large kitchen/dining room with a small annex off it where the TV is. We spent most of our time in the house there. Upstairs the bedrooms are larger with lots of sunlight. I would say though that the mattresses could do with replacing. We had a lovely time there and would sum it up as location, location, location. ##### David S.

The large garden and views add to a sense of space and being away from it all. Quirky layout mentioned by previous reviewer was a positive for us i.e. having different zones for the family felt like a luxury and again helped in chilling out.

Short walk from village centre. Well equipped kitchen. We saw the comments about layout, it is a quirky house layout with lots of different places to sit. The photos show it all. If you want to have 8 people watching TV all the time this is not the property for you. If you like peace and quiet to read, have various different places to chat or play cards or whatever it is perfect. Loved it and would stay again. ##### Simon A. ### 8/10 Good #### Douglas L. 2 Mar 2020 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Sunnybraes Braemar On arrival their was minimal heating on in -10 celcius temperatures. So not a warm welcome! Access to a snow shovel would have been useful in order to be able to park the cars in the driveway and shut the gate. Upstairs shower door was wonky and difficult to use. The fold up bed in the lounge was in a ridiculously insane position as when stretched out the mattress touched the wood burning stove!!! Our extra guest had therefore to sleep on a narrow couch in a communal area instead. This furniture arrangement would have been alright in the Summer but not in the depths of winter.! The markings and the control knob on the oven are difficult to use accurately as the knob is loose and the numbers difficult to read. For the price and size of the house I would normally have expected in this day and age a dish washer to be installed especially from the huge profits generated from the rental! Other than these minor inconveniences, we had an excellent holiday in this very spacious accommodation during very beautiful wintry conditions. ##### Douglas L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marion D. 31 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful stay in Braemar Nice house with a wonderful garden.

Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Monica M. 1 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful spacious family home with large garden and fabulous views! We loved our stay here! The house has been very nicely done up with lots of sitting space. It was very clean and has a lovely modern kitchen. Beds were excellent. We liked the freedom of being able to sit in different rooms in the house so that if one set wanted to watch TV, another could play or read quietly in the lounge, or others again could be separately in the sun porch. Communication with the friendly owner was easy and Carole, the house keeper, is a gem! We loved the ease we had of walks from the doorstep and the peace and quiet - and the views - WOW! Our children definitely enjoyed the garden and we loved the red squirrels. Would definitely want to stay again. ##### Monica M.

Stayed 7 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Adam H. 8 Apr 2019 #### Excellent well-equipped holiday home We loved this beautiful house. It is well-equipped with everything a holiday self-catering house should have which made staying there extremely easy and stress-free. We felt at home within minutes. The house itself is large and comfortable and ideal for groups or family gatherings with plenty of living space. It is warm, full of light, dry and very cosy. Everything was very clean, and the beds were all comfortable. The kitchen is modern and well-equipped. There is a snug area off the open-plan kitchen area with a good flat screen tv, where you can relax on the sofa in front of the wood/coal burning stove and watch tv or video at the end of the day. Another large sitting room has plenty of books, lots of seating, a good stereo and another multi-fuel stove, ideal for those who want to read, play games or who don't want to watch the tv. The WiFi is excellent. The garden is beautiful - very large, fenced and safe for children. One of the nicest houses we have stayed in and we look forward to returning. The owners were friendly and helpful before and during our stay, as was the property manager, Carole, who lives nearby. We recommend this rental very highly. ##### Adam H.
