Guests appreciate the comfortable beds, good shower, and added touches such as cycle storage. While most found the cottage clean and inviting, a few noted areas for improvement in heating, decor, and maintenance. Some guests experienced noise from neighbouring renovations, but overall, the cottage offers a pleasant and convenient base for exploring Ballater and the surrounding area.
Most guests found the cottage spotlessly clean, though one review mentioned the wood burner had not been cleaned. Overall, cleanliness is a strong point.
The location is highly praised, with guests highlighting the easy walk into Ballater and proximity to shops, cafes, and restaurants.
Guests describe the cottage as cosy and comfortable, with good beds and heating in bedrooms. Some noted the lounge heating could be improved.
The kitchen is well equipped and cycle storage is a bonus. Some guests mentioned a need for redecorating, more heating in the lounge, and additional tools for the wood burner.

Lovely cosy cottage with a log fire if required. Bedrooms have their own heaters and the bathroom has a good step-in shower. Would be a good idea to have a small wardrobe/chest of drawers in the single bedroom.Really handy for town which has great shops, cafésand take-aways. Brilliant Indian restaurant. A nice walk along the river.A good location for visits to Braemar and Banchory.
