About this property

Scottish cabin-style cottage with large garden in Braemar village

Short Term Let Licence number: AS-00330-F. EPC Band D

Cosy cabin-style cottage sleeping up to 6 people in the grounds of the owners' own cottage but completely independent. The cabin has two double and one twin bedroom, a living room/kitchen and bathroom and is all on one level. The cabin has wrap-around decking, use of the extensive garden and plenty parking. There is a gas barbeque for guests' exclusive use. The cabin is in the village of Braemar with excellent hiking in the summer from the door as well as being 20 minutes from Glen Shee for winter ski-ing. Shops, restaurants and the bus are all close by. The recently-renovated Fife Arms is just along the street - check it out at - great pub food, live music, formal dining and a cocktail lounge. A great new addition to the village!
We are happy to accommodate children by supplying a travel cot and high chair. The large, wilder part of the garden behind the chalet does have a pond and this part of the garden is fenced off.

If you have an electric car, there are two charge points in the village, one beside the toilets in the main car park behind the butcher, and the other in the car park opposite the Invercauld Hotel (opposite side of the road). They are pictured in the property listing's photos. Please let us know if you can't use these chargers as we can run a line from the shed for you. There will be a £15.00 fee for each time you charge your car at the cabin, based on RAC data.

Our family’s “Braemar Gathering”!
Nestled in the heart of the Cairngorms, our family stayed at the Bedside Manor, Braemar, for 3 nights at the end of September 2024. A huge benefit is they’re dog friendly (even have a doggy box ready for their arrival). The cabin has everything you need. The village has a greengrocer, pub, gallery, butcher, coffee shops, etc all on it’s doorstep. It’s located in the centre of the village, only a 5 minute gentle stroll away from the stars of show, The Fife Arms Hotel and the world famous Braemar Gathering (Royal Memorial Park). We can only suggest that if it’s available - book it - you won’t regret it.

Lovely stay at Bedside Manor
Sadly we spent only three nights at Bedside Manor in Braemar. The cottage is beautifully located on a lovely property, and was just off the main road, behind the owners’ cottage. We were made very welcome by Fiona, who greeted us upon arrival and provided information about the cottage and the area. Fiona was very responsive throughout the rental process and during our stay. The cottage was comfortable, spacious and suited our every need. We were treated to sighting of a red squirrel who came to feast upon the treats each morning that the cottage owners had left on the deck. We were so pleased to finally see the elusive red squirrel, after having passed several signs along the Highland roads warning us that they may be present on the road (they never were). Bedside Manner is well situated for hikes, directly from the door, or a short drive away, and there are several restaurants just a couple minutes walk from the cottage. A wonderful stay! Thanks for your hospitality!

What a find! easiest 5 stars
I feel I don’t want to share this gem of a find as it will make it harder for me to book in the future. The accommodation has everything plus more you will need. It’s like home from home. The owners are so friendly and helpful and were a real pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Their local knowledge is vast and they are happy to share and point you in the right direction. I will go back without a doubt and Braemar is a lovely village close to some fantastic walks and scenery. We found the TV hard to use for free to air programmes but you are in the highlands who needs TV anyway.

A must stay at cottage in Braemar
Fiona and Colin's cottage is perfect for a long or short stay. This is our second visit and we're planning #3 for 2025. The cottage is well located, quiet, quick walk to the village. The 'worst' part of the cottage is having to be entertained by the rabbits, robins and red squirrels. Such a delight. The cottage has everything you need for a fabulous stay in Braemar.

Lovely cottage with everything youll ever need for a weeks stay in it. Amazing garden and so close to restaurants, cafes and local attractions. Local walks are beatiful too. Would have given it 6 stars if it had a hot tub 😁 Hosts are very helpful and friendly.

Fantastic and peaceful stay
My family and I had a stay at this lovely lodge in Braemar. The host Fiona was so welcoming and made our stay feel special. The lodge was a great size, very clean and had a beautiful garden that we still managed to enjoy even in the snow. The lodge is close to amenities - Coop, pharmacy etc. I hope we can stay here again in the future!

Absolutely wonderful!
Hubbie and I stayed with our dog for the weekend. The property is in an excellent location in Braemar, close to local shops, restaurants and walks! The garden is amazing! We loved the size, design and it’s right on the edge of open landscape. The property was very clean with good quality bedding, towels. Liked the wee extras ie 2 sets of binoculars (I always forget mine!). Owner, Fiona was friendly, approachable. We would highly recommend this property.

Lovely cabin in Braemar
We had a wonderful week in Bedside Manor. The cabin was clean, comfortable and ideally located in the village yet still surrounded by countryside with deer and a red squirrel visiting the extensive garden. The children adored it and had a great time running around the grounds. Fiona and Colin were extremely welcoming and helpful and I would have no hesitation in recommending the cabin for anyone who wants a stay in Braemar.

Exceptional property, fabulous location, close to the village
This house has everything that you need, even down to the simple pleasure of tissues and clock beside all the beds. Unique also is good quality toilet paper. We were able to stay three nights and were sad to leave. The red squirrel visiting us in the morning, the robins and other small native birds were such a treat. Everything works in the house, the linen is of a high standard, not worn out or from Tescos. Attention to detail and comfort has obviously been well thought through for the guests. We will definitely return.

Property is very clean, very comfortable and very well equipped with everything you could need, including books, maps and guides all relevant to the area. Set in a large, woodland garden with pond it is perfect for relaxation or as a central base to explore the area. Good for walkers, cyclists, families and wildlife enthusiasts who will enjoy the birds and red squirrels in the garden and the abundance of wildlife in the area. Would highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Fiona Hunter

Host profile image
My husband and I are now semi-retired and live most of the time in Braemar. Our cabin is located in the grounds of our cottage. Sometimes, we will be an hour away at our house in Aberdeen. We love to spend time in Braemar and take advantage of the many activities available as well as a regular programme of cultural events and festivals during the year.

Why they chose this property

When we bought this property, we were astounded by the garden and the opportunities presented by having a separate "guest house", which is now our rental cabin. We very much enjoy welcoming people to our property.

What makes this property unique

The cabin in ideally suited in Braemar village but with excellent access to all surrounding areas, especially if you are keen on walking or ski-ing. There are several shops and restaurants in Braemar, all within about 400 yards of the cabin. The cabin is completely independent of our own, older-style traditional cottage so guests are able to come and go in complete freedom and enjoy their stay.
