Well equipped, comfortable and fantastic location. Really great for a multi generational trip as grandma had her own downstairs bedroom and bathroom. Very comfy, quiet except for the lovely sound of owls in the woods. Just perfect. Well equipped, comfortable and fantastic location. Really great for a multi generational trip as grabdparents had their own downstairs bedroom and bathroom separated by a door from the family space. Plenty of room for teen age 15 to grandparent age 79 to spread out. Very comfy, quiet except for the lovely sound of owls in the woods. Excellent kitchen with air fryer (yay!) Just perfect.

Glenbardie Bothy is exceptionally comfortable. Set back from the main road,a real sun trap. Only five/ ten minutes( for slow walkers!) from the village centre. Lots of walks from the door. Only issue was low slanted ceilings upstairs in bedrooms. I banged my head several times. Downstairs was perfect. Highly recommend this property. The photos do not show how spacious it is downstairs.

We could not have been happier (well, if they gave us a million dollars too)!!! The house was well off the road but a true 5 minute walk to many coffee/tea shops, restaurants, shops, and a grocery store. We ate out every night, had some drinks and walked home without worry at all. The local pub (Balmoral Bar) was super friendly and welcoming. The location allowed us to travel all over the Highlands! We will be back.

A beautiful cottage in the lovely town of Ballater. Could not have wished for a more comfortable base for the week. The cottage is very clean and well equipped and both owners and host were more than helpful and accommodating. It’s even better than it sounds honestly!

Lovely bothy that we used as a base whilst we fished on the River Dee. Tucked away off the Braemar Road but local enough to walk to the shops/supermarket/eateries of Ballater. Spacious, clean and tidy bothy that feels like its recently refurbished with car parking for 3 cars. I would certainly use again on future trips. Highly recommended!

Glenbardie Bothy was the perfect getaway for our family of five plus dog. Situated at the end of a gravel drive you could by miles from anywhere but in fact you are only a five minute walk to shops, cafes and restaurants. The house itself has been renovated brilliantly with space for everyone to be together and also be able to hide away - with two teenagers this was ideal! The kitchen had everything you’d need and the utility room was great for being able to get some washings done after a day of gorge walking. Ballater is a fantastic little town. We know it well and have holidayed there many times. Our dog had an absolute ball with the many different walks on offer - up hills, through forests and in the river! I’d highly recommend a stay at Glenbardie Bothy, you don’t be disappointed.
