Just wow! Secluded location within 3 mins drive of the centre of Ballater. One, if not the best place we have stayed at. The Host was really helpful and was able to accommodate an additional night when we were snowed in. The house was floor heated down stairs with an open fireplace in the seperate lounge with no shortage of wood. Heating was also great upstairs and the beds were the best we have slept on in our 3 weeks of travel so far in the UK. The Host has thought of everything, but for the coffee lovers out there, there is no coffee machine. The ‘Magical Cottage’ name pretty much sums up the place. We were fortunate to be there when it snowed, picture postcard stuff. Ballater itself was gorgeous, and we loved the Balmoral Bar as the staff and patrons were all so engaging, so too were the pooches that also frequented the Bar. The is a COOP supermarket within 50m of the Balmoral. We have some great memories to take home to Australia!

We loved everything of the house. It was clean, nice bathrooms, good fireplace and enough wood.

We really enjoyed our stay, thank you. The location is comfortable and so peaceful but still within easy reach of Ballater. Fabulous walking all around. Our one reservation was the track going to the property which was a bit nerve wracking with a low wheelbase.

This is a jewel in the Highlands. It was spotless, nicely appointed with quality furniture and prints on the wall. The surroundings really are magical.
