GORGOUS wee hut that let you live a simile and minimal life.
A place to slow down , have a second coffee and listen to the rain :)
The property want very close to any shops - and was on a road so few car sounds at night.

The scenery was fantastic, tucked in amongst hills and just on the outskirt of ballater, theres a little walk you can take off the house that takes you down to the river the was beautiful too, the house was spacious and lovely inside, the little wood burner topped it off, kept the place so warm 🙂 waking up to the hawks on the site was amazing too, perfect little place to get away and enjoy a piece of the countryside
There was nothing to dislike, if i was forced to say anything then it would be the weather

A lovely, compact little house which was nicely-decorated and had everything we needed. We especially loved seeing all the animals nearby and being able to use the hot tub. Very close to lots of excellent walks and great communication from the hosts about getting there and accessing the property.

Cute tiny house with a small wooden oven that was really cool.
Also loved that you have a small garden

Well location was great for the games and the view outside was lovely. It was quiet and close to town for groceries. Bed was comfy and WiFi was great for Netflix. The carpentry and efficiency use of space is amazing It was a new experience for us like a pod! Great communication but did not meet hosts.
It’s super small and no way 4 adults could sleep here so thank goodness our friends could not make it. It is also very expensive for the size it’s like fancy camping. Floor needs tlc

The location was wonderful, has a beautiful river just a short walk away and the tiny houses are very quaint and lovely.
The sofa bed was a tad hard.

Absolutely brilliant stay. Beautiful little house. So quirky and well kitted out. Has everything you need for a quiet, pleasant break. Loved the wood burner, bed upstairs and the outside areas! Hot tub was superb as well and we enjoyed the fire pit.
Would thoroughly recommend and can't wait to come back.

Clean. Everything you need is there. Great location. Very happy with our stay.
Gets very hot which was quite uncomfortable to sleep in but there are windows so not much you can do with the hot weather.

Very comfortable, compact and lovely spot.
A little noisy at times with banging and mowing but these stopped on request.

This was just wonderful, I’d have stayed longer had it been available. Such a cutely furnished tiny house. The lovely hosts are always trying to improve these already excellent cabins by adding more thoughtful details.
I loved the skylight above the bed. Best light for reading. Drift off to sleep with the stars twinkling above you. Great Deeside walks just outside the front door.
Perfect cosy place for two; I’d say fitting four in here might get a little cramped, especially if you’re going to leave 4 people’s luggage lying around randomly.
Hot tub a nice feature. One commenter complained about not being able to use it in the rain, which, frankly, is weird. When you’re immersed in hot water, the rain can’t touch you.
The hosts were extremely friendly, and, in my case, literally went that extra mile! Big thank you to Karl, Bess, and Stacey!
The quality of the newspaper for lighting the fire. I prefer to incinerate a broadsheet.

The hammock on the pergola made the stay just perfect for us!
We really enjoyed our stay! We did not expect this stay to be as exceptional! There was everything we needed as the Kitchen was fully equipped! Even though the hot tub is shared you still got your privacy to use exclusively! Perfect wee place and not far from Ballater and Braemar! Very peaceful! Loved the fact there was no TV! Wish we stayed for longer but we will definitely be back again.

The location and access to a hot tub was perfect. The coffee machine was a great addition. We also used the Pizza Oven. Logs and eco firelighters could be supplied next to Pizza over, firepit etc. All good and great for a family and also our Schnauzer.
We liked pretty much everything.

Amazing location with beautiful views and lots of peace and quiet. Friendly and helpful hosts who made us feel so welcome. Amazing little house with everything you need and lots of thoughtful details. Couldn’t ask for more- we will be returning with our children!

What an amazing location, and the tiny house was tiny but perfect. We were so pleased with this accommodation. The girls loved it and there were so many lovely touches around the place. The hosts were amazing and it was a short cycle from Ballater (although up a hill to get there but down on the way back to Ballater).
There wasn't anything we didn't like. There wasn't an oven in the tiny house but that was on the description, so we expected that.

Stunning wee property. Very clean and well equipped. Good location with ability to walk into town. Kitchen had everything we needed, proper coffee machine was great! Good shower too.
Shower gel, hand soap and washing up liquid supplied were good and smelled lovely.
Hot tub was great, as was the wood fired pizza oven.
Very comfortable and peaceful.
No issues really - a barrier of some sort around the “upstairs” bed area would be nice (we have a wee dog who likes to sleep near us - there was space for her bed next to ours but we were worried about her falling / jumping down in the night).
Bed area got very warm and could use some better ventilation, we had the window open (despite it being near freezing outside) but there wasn’t much air flow, maybe a small fan would be good..
Felt the £10/night pet fee was a bit much given our dog doesn’t shed hair & is so small she probably made less mess than us!

We were lucky and seem to have the whole place to ourselves, we only used the hot tub, sadly the weather wasn't the best for a fire pit or pizza oven but the hot tub was AMAZING!
The tiny house was so cute! Perfect for 2 people, we did have our wee pooch with us so was limited on floor space when her bed was there and the dining table was out but we made it work.
The bed has a window above it which was STUNNING at night as you could lay in bed and see millions of starts! And even seen the satellites moving round earth!
Great little get away we absolutely loved it!
Only thing we could think of would to have better access over the fence to the fields at the back. We had to walk round the front of the property and down the very muddy dirt tract and through the farmer's gate to get to the fields that the property looks on. So a better set of steps or a fence for dog access would be perfect.

Super cosy, clean and peaceful. The views from nearby walks were amazing. Hot tub was fantastic.
Close to nearby shops and the most amazing bakery at Crathie.
We loved everything. If you are planning on using the hot tub taking your own extra towel would probably be a good idea.

The and wildlife, had everything inside the house we needed, hot tub was excellent, everything was spotlessly clean.
There was consistent works going on so there was banging, the door kept coming off its hinges in the bathroom, we were promised a romantic set up for when we arrived as it was our honeymoon but this was not delivered due to a miscommunication between staff and nothing was offered or provided as an alternative although the owner did come to our accommodation and apologise.

The wood burning stove helped keep us very warm. Having decent coffee from the coffee machine was wonderful. The location and view were fab!
Would have been better if we had a bit more storage for luggage/bag. (Maybe the 2nd set of folding chairs under the ladder could be made available if needed? That would give a wee nook to put a holdall in)

Lovely location and nice outside environment to sit in if weather is nice. Good communication from host.
I wouldn’t really say it is suitable for more than two people. Sofa bed is uncomfortable and bedding did not fit properly.

Stunning location, easy access to nearby walking routes and not far from Ballater. Hot tub was brilliant even in mid-January and couldn't believe how toasty the house stayed once it had warmed up.

Everything. The house is truly enchanting. It’s small but the space is very well designed and practical. The decor is lovely too. The wood burner is fantastic - heats up the space quickly and makes the house feel very homely. We spent here 4 days and I have to say I’m feeling a bit sad leaving as we had a fantastic time.
Can’t fault the place

The tiny house had everything you could need for a break. We loved the modern feel, everything was spotlessly clean. The coffee machine was a lovely addition. You can walk along the river to Ballater in about 30 minutes, lovely quiet walk. And of course the hot tub was a real luxury after spending our days hillwalking.

Leuk vrij ruim huisje, locatie tussen Braemar en Ballater is top om de omgeving te verkennen. Boven slapen is nog best ruim, maar bed is wel wat harder omdat je matras op de planken ligt.
Echt alleen de basics zijn aanwezig, dus zout/peper/olie moet je nog zelf meenemen. Gezien de prijs vonden wij het raar dat ze nog vragen je eigen bed af te halen bij vertrek.

Comfortabel en schoon huisje met alles wat je nodig hebt. Mooi uitzicht vanuit het huisje en op een lekker rustige plek. De bedden zijn verassend goed.
