This a two-story cottage with accommodation consisting of 3 bedrooms, one King size master bedroom and two further large double and twin bedrooms, two lounges, a dining area, kitchen, and utility area, two bathrooms, and an outside patio area, with attached garaged storage area for all your outdoors equipment, bicycles, and storage during your stay with us.

Both lounges offer guests the opportunity to relax in separate areas.
Tucked away in the heart of Cairngorms National Park, Ballater is a village that captures the soul. With its breathtaking natural beauty, deep cultural roots, and genuine hospitality that makes for an unforgettable experience. Famed for its royal connections due to its proximity to Balmoral Castle—the beloved Scottish residence of the royal family Park.

Whether you're wandering through enchanting hills, lush forests or along serene riversides, you'll find ample opportunities to connect with the outdoors through activities like hiking, cycling, and fishing.

The Cairngorms are a focal point of the Scottish landscape and contains so much for one to do at any time of the year. Whether you are a hillwalker, dogwalker, mountaineer, birdwatcher or an all-round adventurer, these mountains offer so much to so many different types of people.

A short drive will take you to the slopes of the Lecht and Glenshee, a popular seasonal destination for skiers and snowboarders. But if you prefer a more sedate holiday there are plenty of shops, cafés, and eateries just a stroll from the house. With a strong connection to the royal family, including the end of summer Braemar gathering highland games and proximity to the Dee and Spey rivers, ideal for fishing and exploring the whisky trail, this is an ideal destination at any time of the year.
