Holiday rentals near Alford Valley Steam Railway

Our hosts were very attentive, and they generously left us some yummy snacks. The apartment was comfortable. They was a perfect place to explore the Highland countryside west of Aberdeen. I was on a family history quest. We were able to travel to Braemar Castle, Corgarff Kirk, Birse Kirk, and the Aberdeen and Northeast Scotland Family History Society shop in Aberdeen. We ate at the Boat Inn in Aboyne twice! We very much appreciated our hosts' hospitality. Thanks.

The cottage was exceptional, well equiped, very clean, nicely decorated and positioned close to Ballater for walks into town for lunch or a coffee and wander around and to visit the local attractions and nearby towns. It is also positioned well to visit the east coast and whiskey trail areas and the Cairngorm walks. Staying for a week it was so helpful having the laundry and equipment. Our stay was very enjoyable.

We had a wonderful week at The Stables. I can highly recommend this property as of a very high standard, serene and relaxing while easy to travel to other parts of Scotland. The beds were comfortable and everything was pristine. Great directions to the property were provided prior to our stay by Fiona. A lovely, warm welcome was received from Thomas as well as a much appreciated, locally sourced, welcome basket left for us. The amount of information relating to areas of interest was fabulous. We enjoyed watching the antics of the sheep and cows from our windows and surrounding countryside was lovely and relaxing. Would love to come back and will definitely recommend to any fellow Australian travellers.
