Thank you for sharing this charming spot tucked away in the woods. We had fabulous weather, so the only disappointment was only having one night cool enough for a fire in the adorable fireplace.

Liked the rustic nature and the serenity of the surroundings. Shooting clay pigeons with David and Dan was awesome and great value. Highly recommend this activity. Fly fishing the River Dee with Ian Murray was also good fun...but the fish were elusive.

Lovely cottage in the woods near Ballater
We loved our stay in this stunning cottage. Lovely comfortable, welcoming interior. Great views and lovely walks from the house. Walking distance or a short drive from Ballater. Perfect spot to discover the Cairngorms.

Five adult family members had a superb, bordering on perfect, stay @ Ballintober. Lovely, comfortable home, private, near town, but away, too. Hikes, fishing, biking & the Highlands in springtime…truly hated to leave.

Well equipped cottage in relaxing setting
This is a well equipped, up to date, cosy cottage, ideal for groups of 6 staying in the area and also benefitting from good garden areas. The cottage is in a quiet location (4x4 car preferred) but accessing Ballater is easy. The surroundings are beautiful and ideal for walks etc

Awesome in every way
Great location and great private cottage for our family to use as a base to explore the area and enjoy family time together. Also loved the access to horseback riding, fly fishing and stalking.

Return to Royal Deeside!
We spent a wonderful week in this gorgeous property set in an idyllic setting in peaceful woodland, we were sad to leave and will return to this magical area of Scotland which holds many happy memories! We only have one comment, there is only one bedroom with a mirror, it would be great to have one in the other bedrooms! Thank you !

Just beautiful
Recently renovated to a high standard. Comfortable and well equipped. Beautiful secluded forest setting (in a sunny patch) with wonderful walks from the house. Short drive or longer walk into Ballater. Wished we had stayed longer. One suggestion - please provide more table/drinks mats - we were worried about marking the lovely furniture.

Beautiful setting for a family reunion
It was so good to be able to meet up with family after another lockdown! The house was in a wonderfully peaceful location, but just minutes away from Ballater for shopping and restaurants. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, well furnished and very comfortable. The kitchen had everything you would need for a short or long break. Despite the poor weather, we managed a number of spectacular walks and the house was very cosy to return to afterwards. We enjoyed our stay!

We have very much enjoyed the beautiful house the lovely landscape and all Scottland during our holidays. We were pretty much suprised on the visit of a deer in the garden. It ist a a really good starting point for hiking tours in the highlands.
