Braemar Apartment - Sleeps 4 Guests in 2 Bedrooms

What a gem!…

5 / 5 Excellent

We had to book extremely quickly for a few nights and we were so glad to have found this little apartment. Spacious with all amenities inside and in the village. Fantastic base to explore the Cairngorms, but just not enough time! We had a couple of issue with kitchen appliances but Carole was most helpful and swift in sorting these... We even stayed an extra night unplanned and this was swiftly organised by the team too with no trouble. The one and only complaint was the mattress in the main bedroom seems to sag in the middle. Other than that, a perfect getaway, and we WILL be returning!…We had to book extremely quickly for a few nights and we were so glad to have found this little apartment.

Riverside Cottage in Ballater (Cairngorms)

Lovely place!…

5 / 5 Excellent

We had a really lovely, relaxing time here. Everything we needed in the town, some great walks, comfy beds and everything in the house was high quality. Communication was good and we were well looked after. We will definitely book again. The hot tub didn't get hot even after 7 hours keeping the fire going as it was too cold outside, so we didn't get to use it, which was a shame, but didn't spoil our trip overall.…We had a really lovely, relaxing time here.

5 / 5 Excellent

Loved my stay in the Braemar Lodge Hotel. Perfect location for exploring this wonderful area. Hotel was comfortable, warm, quiet, relaxing. Traditional decor - but I like this in a Highland hotel. Room was perfect, had all that is needed - nice hot radiators to dry off wet clothes! Food good. Best thing about the stay was the staff - especially Helen and Danielle - super friendly, warm and helpful, made me feel like a long-lost son they were that hospitable! Already looking to return for another stay.…Loved my stay in the Braemar Lodge Hotel. Perfect location for exploring this wonderful area. Hotel was comfortable, warm, quiet, relaxing.

Secluded Ex-balmoral Estate Cottage, Modernised, Child/pet Friendly

Just perfect!…

5 / 5 Excellent

We had the best time at this beautiful cottage in Ballater. From the moment we booked, nothing was too much trouble for Ann. She answered my many questions about visiting and the current restrictions and even made sure we had pumpkins all ready for the children to carve when we arrived - nothing was too much trouble! The cottage itself is just wonderful, beautifully decorated and well equipped. We have never stayed anywhere where as much thought and attention to detail has been put in. Everything you could ever need is there and ready. The location of the cottage is also perfect, we enjoyed several walks, visited Royal Lochnagar distillery and Balmoral Castle and there is still so much more we haven’t yet had chance to do. We can’t wait to return for another holiday in this beautiful cottage. Thank you again Ann!…We had the best time at this beautiful cottage in Ballater.

Delightful highland home in Ballater village

Couldn’t have been better…

5 / 5 Excellent

Lovely house, very handy for the village centre. People in the village were really welcoming too. Really well kitted out, spotlessly clean and a generous welcome package of local produce. The owner couldn’t have made me feel more welcome. Would certainly stay again…
