Bridge Cottage, Glenlivet

Family-friendly holiday home in Ballindalloch with water park

Situated in the heart of Glenlivet with stunning views of the Packhorse Bridge (the bridge on the Glenlivet Whiskey logo) and the river Livet. Cosy Bridge Cottage is perfect for a quiet and peaceful retreat.

The space
Bridge Cottage is a newly renovated crofters cottage in the beautiful Bridgend of Glenlivet. The ancient Packhorse Bridge can be seen from our garden and is stunning every season of the year. If you're into outdoor activities, castles, whiskey distilleries, clay shooting, scenic drives, skiing or just relaxing in a peaceful and cosy environment then Bridge Cottage is the place for you.

Guest access
You will have the entire home and gardens.

There is a wood/coal burning stove you are welcome to use but please bring your own wood/coal as we have central heating so do not include this in the price.

There is a large workshop you can store your outdoor kit or bikes in if you have them. Please let us know so we can leave the key.

Check in is after 4pm and checkout is 10am

The wifi box is located in the dining room bookcase. The password is on the box.

Interaction with guests
Our lovely caretaker Helen is happy to help but will not interrupt your holiday unless requested.

Other things to note

Lovely week

Great property and location. Good advice to stock up in food before arriving. Clean, tidy, organised place with everything we needed. It isn't a huge property. Our 6 year old daughter slept in the attic room which she loved, but two tall adults would struggle in there. However, garden is delightful and we spent most time outdoors. River beautiful and red squirrels spotted daily. Mud room also a useful space. Amazing number of DVDs to choose from as the TV only play DVDs. This wasn't a problem for us but you might want to know this before you arrive.

Amazing cottage by the river

Our stay was great and our 3 kids loved the cottage. The bridge right in the back garden makes it quite the picturesque get away and the surrounding area is lovely.

Very welcoming. Clean. Catered for our self catering needs. Particularly during lockdown due to Covid. Beautiful surroundings. A real nugget of joy!

Cozy Cottage

2 years ago we stopped at the bridge which is where the cottage gets its name to look at a wonderful variety of birds that were coming to some feeders hanging in the trees there. This year, I was delighted to find this cottage next to that very spot. Alas, the birds were not attending the feeders but the cottage is precious. Exactly what you want! The cottage feel runs nicely through the entire house as red foxes and gray rabbits peek down at you from paintings on pastel walls. The shabby chic feel adds to the quaintness of the cottage as does the short doorways and and smaller rooms. A double slipper tub (with plenty of hot water) invites you to soak in its warmth. The bed was comfortable and linens fresh and crisp. The kitchen looked well equipped for prepping and cooking meals. There is a lovely back yard that overlooks the bridge and has flower gardens and swings for children young and old. A very special place that I would return to if I am ever fortunate enough to be driving the winding roads of Glenlivet Scotland. We did struggle to get the heat to work...perhaps detailed instructions would have made it easier. Thanks.

Great location if you are a Whisky lover or enjoy a quiet place to rest

Overall, exceeded our expectations. Everything we needed and in a great location. Just down the road from Glenlivet distillery and a number of other great distilleries. A beautifully appointed cottage with so much charm and warmth, with an amazing back yard overlooking the river and bridge. Great host and easy to connect and communicate with. THANK YOU!
