Awaiting Grading

Think of beautiful Royal Deeside and think of a holiday playground unequalled in Scotland. Since Queen Victoria fell in love with the area a century and a half ago, visitors have come here to enjoy the perfect holiday. Ballater Holiday Cottages offer the ideal base to explore Royal Deeside. From the magnificent Cairngorm mountains to the stunning rural scenery of the Dee Valley, come and sample the best of Scotland. Ballater is a pretty little village, proud of its Royal connections. Close to Balmoral Castle and Birkhall, home of Prince Charles, it has a wide range of shops many of which display Royal Warrants. Golfers can choose from many excellent courses nearby, there is plenty of good quality fishing with permits available in local shops, and pony-trekking and gliding nearby. The Victorian Heritage, Whisky and Castle trails add an extra dimension when touring by car.

Hidden away in a secluded position just 2 miles from Balmoral Castle (the Queen‘s holiday retreat), this picturesque house is reached by its own wooden bridge. Beautifully kept, it provides very comfortable accommodation with a unique character and charm. The cottage has a fairytale setting with the Geldie Burn and the Genechal Burn forming its boundaries on two sides, and the fir-clad Creag nam Ban hill rising behind it. On the ground floor there is a bright, split level sitting room and sun room, with an open fire and comfortable settees. The pine kitchen is fully equipped, and the dining room has an open fire. The twin bedroom has lovely views over the Dee Valley, while the single bedroom looks East - you may find yourself face to face with a herd of cows when you open the curtains! The shower room has a w.c. and wash hand basin. Upstairs there are two light, bright bedrooms, one twin and one double, both with lovely views. The bathroom has a bath, shower, w.c. and wash hand basin. The garden has a lawn, flower and shrub borders, a paved seating area with table and chairs.
