Description

Riverside Cottage | Royal Deeside | Sleeps 6 | Wood Burner | Newly Renovated Outdoor Terrace | Ballater

A beautifully renovated two-storey cottage in the heart of Ballater, Riverside Cottage is the ideal base for exploring Royal Deeside - from distillery tours and Dee fishing to mountain biking, hiking, and winter skiing at The Lecht.

Sleeping up to 6, the cottage offers a lounge with two large sofas and a wood-burning stove, a fully equipped kitchen, a garden-view dining and sitting room, and a downstairs cloakroom with WC. Upstairs: a super-king double, a twin room convertible to a super-king, and a well-appointed bathroom with built-in shower and a separate large double-ended bath. Two further guests are accommodated on a sofa bed in the garden-view room.

The outdoor space has just been completely renovated and features a new lounge terrace with barbeque - ideal for unwinding after a day outdoors. A private courtyard provides a sheltered al fresco dining area for warmer days.

Ballater's restaurants and cafes are a short walk away, or make full use of the well-equipped kitchen and dine at home.

We had a a great stay. The unit was like new. So pretty and comfortable and lots of room. Nice and quiet but great location. Short walk to the main part of town. We would stay here again!

This was a great location close to everything in this quiet beautiful little town. We had a problem locking the door but just had to read the instruction the owners provided in their booklet. Lol. The townhouse had everything we needed very clean and comfy. We never got a chance to use the hot tub as we were too tired from our trip to Balmoral castle which was the highlight of our stay.

Liked the cottage immensely and dont hesitate to recommend it. Such a great location in Ballater, walkable to restaurants and walks and shoppes. The coffee machine was way too fancy for us so didnt use. Yes, property mgr was responsive and quick to ssnd instructions but really, just having a simpler one or a French press and many guests would prefer the easy approach. Parking is ok close by once you figure out your choices (almost on bridge; otherchoice spots never available). No spices but plenty of good cookware. Loved the patio and den or living area for reading or watching tv. Nice bathrooms and furnishings. Once we figured out the front door system, apparently a Scotland or UK method, we were able to lock up (maybe instructions on arrival info for us Americans). So excellent with some tiny suggestions.
