Beautiful, well equipped cottage surrounded by a stunning landscape. Quiet and cozy. We've spent a wonderful time there.

Beautiful, tranquil spot to get away from city life. Estate was a gorgeous example of Scottish Nature yet close enough to be able to walk into town. The cottage was the perfect size for 4, and the internet worked fantastic. The only draw back was the weak signal for tv; we could only get 1 channel in with any regularity. But this isn't the type of place you would sit and just watch tv anyways so we didn't care. The host was responsive with our questions prior to staying and the overall experience was great.

We loved our stay at Gardener’s Cottage. It looks an out over the main house and the hills beyond - the views are stunning. The house is cosy and had everything we needed. The housekeeper was super helpful with everything. Highly recommended.

This property was exactly as expected and really good value. The location is lovely and really convenient for hiking, mountain biking and all the area has to offer. Ballater is very close (less than 10 min cycle). Interior is exactly as in the photos. Plenty of space for boots, coats etc. Comfortable beds with lovely linen.

Comfortable, clean and cosy lodgings on a pretty estate surrounded by beautiful mountain scenery. Great walks nearby and good food in the village. Would recommend.

The property is a little out of the village in a quiet location. The main house was not rented out whilst we were there. As we prefer a quiet location this was ideal for us. Great views from the bedroom windows. The downstairs views slightly blocked by a wall
