Looking for a holiday home?

Great for families or large parties, holiday homes are privately owned accommodation, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities for self-catering, although breakfast may be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different to apartments.

    Location, hospitality, flexibility and cleanness. The lady/owner gave us a warm welcome and she was very informative about the location, the shops and great tips about pubs. The rooms had a generous size and they were very clean. Great English breakfast with lots of options. Really worth the price.

    Very warm welcome by staff on arrival. The room was very clean, bed was comfortable but the pillows for us not so good. A lovely selection of biscuits in the room with great proper coffee and teas at hand. Bathroom very clean and nice, annoyingly water pressure was terrible so taps don't work that great. Dinner was great and very accomodating for my food issues which was nice. Breakfas was a great selection and a brilliant cooked breakfast.

    Everything was very clean. Pod was cosy & nice. We stayed in Feb & the heater was totally ample (low setting kept it nice, but heater would also respond quickly when you turned it up). Toilet/shower block was good. There was a communal garden hut with dining table, chairs, maps, stove (though we didn’t use it) & “tea shack” (a small shed with camping gas stove to make cups of tea etc).

    Lovely, quirky, very clean and cosy in a lovely spot. Had fun lighting the stove, learning how to make proper coffee and hot tub. Hosts were quick to answer any queries pre arrival and were on hand during our stay. Walked round nearby loch Muick one day - stunning. Ballater is a lovely wee village with lots of walks, excellent Bakery and Indian restuarant.
