    4 adults, 2 children and a dog visited Cairnie cottage from 3rd - 6th Jan, our first impressions were that the photos on the VRBO website do not do the cottage justice.It is a very nice cottage, all rooms are spacious including the bathrooms. The cottage is well equipped throughout with modern bathrooms and kitchen.It is located a short walk to a few bars, restaurants and hotels in Ballater itself so perfect for visiting the Deeside area and would recommend this cottage for anyone looking for a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom rental.
