We had a great stay at the cottage. Had everything we needed in it. Close to Ballater for shops, cafes and restaurants. Great access to walking and cycle trails.
We loved our stay in this stunning cottage.
Lovely comfortable, welcoming interior.
Great views and lovely walks from the house.
Walking distance or a short drive from Ballater.
Perfect spot to discover the Cairngorms.
Great location and great private cottage for our family to use as a base to explore the area and enjoy family time together. Also loved the access to horseback riding, fly fishing and stalking.
Thank you for sharing this charming spot tucked away in the woods. We had fabulous weather, so the only disappointment was only having one night cool enough for a fire in the adorable fireplace.
We have very much enjoyed the beautiful house the lovely landscape and all Scottland during our holidays.
We were pretty much suprised on the visit of a deer in the garden. It ist a a really good starting point for hiking tours in the highlands.
This is a well equipped, up to date, cosy cottage, ideal for groups of 6 staying in the area and also benefitting from good garden areas. The cottage is in a quiet location (4x4 car preferred) but accessing Ballater is easy. The surroundings are beautiful and ideal for walks etc
We had a wonderful time in Ballintober. The house is very nice and one can see that it is decorated with love and a good sense for the combination between old and new. The neighborhood is beautiful and the weather was fine.
Five adult family members had a superb, bordering on perfect, stay @ Ballintober. Lovely, comfortable home, private, near town, but away, too. Hikes, fishing, biking & the Highlands in springtime…truly hated to leave.
Liked the rustic nature and the serenity of the surroundings. Shooting clay pigeons with David and Dan was awesome and great value. Highly recommend this activity. Fly fishing the River Dee with Ian Murray was also good fun...but the fish were elusive.
It was so good to be able to meet up with family after another lockdown! The house was in a wonderfully peaceful location, but just minutes away from Ballater for shopping and restaurants. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, well furnished and very comfortable. The kitchen had everything you would need for a short or long break. Despite the poor weather, we managed a number of spectacular walks and the house was very cosy to return to afterwards. We enjoyed our stay!
Recently renovated to a high standard. Comfortable and well equipped. Beautiful secluded forest setting (in a sunny patch) with wonderful walks from the house. Short drive or longer walk into Ballater. Wished we had stayed longer. One suggestion - please provide more table/drinks mats - we were worried about marking the lovely furniture.
We spent a wonderful week in this gorgeous property set in an idyllic setting in peaceful woodland, we were sad to leave and will return to this magical area of Scotland which holds many happy memories! We only have one comment, there is only one bedroom with a mirror, it would be great to have one in the other bedrooms! Thank you !
