Location excellent. A real home from home - very comfortable. Great layout for quite a small property. Everything considered. Particularly like the outdoor space - great to have somewhere to sit as the weather was lovely.

We loved everything about this property. The size and space for everyone, cleanliness and facilities. Oh yes the fact that it is in amongst the hills. Perfect setting, so very quiet. It’s only a 10 minute drive from Ballater where there are lots of shops and a main supermarket. We would love to return!

This was just wonderful, I’d have stayed longer had it been available. Such a cutely furnished tiny house. The lovely hosts are always trying to improve these already excellent cabins by adding more thoughtful details. I loved the skylight above the bed. Best light for reading. Drift off to sleep with the stars twinkling above you. Great Deeside walks just outside the front door. Perfect cosy place for two; I’d say fitting four in here might get a little cramped, especially if you’re going to leave 4 people’s luggage lying around randomly. Hot tub a nice feature. One commenter complained about not being able to use it in the rain, which, frankly, is weird. When you’re immersed in hot water, the rain can’t touch you. The hosts were extremely friendly, and, in my case, literally went that extra mile! Big thank you to Karl, Bess, and Stacey!

We had a great stay at Cairnie Cottage. There was spacious off road park at the rear of the property. Very spacious inside and everything is in excellent order, The kitchen has plenty of utensils and the place was lovely and warm for us arriving and spotless also. There is a private courtyard with table and chairs that is a nice touch. Couldn't fault this stay.

Beautiful property in picturesque surroundings just a short walk from the lovely village of Ballater. Very well positioned to explore the countryside. The fit out of the property is extremely high quality with lovely furniture and very well equipped. We were a family of 7 with a small dog and were very comfortable, loved the log burner! Neil the host was super helpful.

    Great location, the view from the windows is just gorgeous. The hot tub (the reason for booking), even thought it’s shared it wasn’t a problem and was very welcome after a day out and about. Good quality one as well. Comfy bed, lovely bathroom and neat wee kitchen. What they are doing with the space/grounds is braw. Well done!!

    from the outside a typical old Scottish stone house but inside completely modern equipped with underfloor heating, modern bathrooms and a great kitchen. In the garden a Hottube. This was absolutely great because the weather was nasty in our Ballater Week.
