About the host

Hosted by Carole

Host profile image
My husband and myself bought Struan Cottage in 2022 as a home for ourselves to go to. We have worked hard over the past couple of years extending and renovating the cottage and also building a garage and landscaping the garden. We love sharing our home so that others can enjoy the beautiful cairngorms national park and the village of Ballater.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is only a 15 minute drive to Balmoral Castle and to the ski centre. There are so many walks and cycle tracks to make your holiday perfect.
