It was ideal for us as we were attending a wedding in Braemar. It was clean, cosy and well appointed.

The large supply of wood for the stove was very much appreciated. The cottage had everything required for two people. Though this was a shared garden with a lot of other houses close by it was quiet and felt private. We normally pick more isolated cottages this was our first in a more urban area but it didnât disappoint and we hope to be back sometime. There are lots of lovely walks around the town and within the Balmoral estate.
