Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Ballater

One of my favorite AirBnB locations we’ve ever stayed in! The natural light and back windows looking out to the Cairngorms were stunning. Not only is this home beautifully designed, but it has everything you need and is just minutes away from walking and biking trails. We found it to be the perfect location to have as a home base for taking day trips throughout the Highlands.

Beautifully located house near Aberlour, about 40 minutes walk into the town for the nearest shops and pub so a car is recommended, although the walk is lovely. By car it's 10 minutes to Aberlour along a country lane. House was well equipped, modern, comfortable, clean and had great views of the surrounding farm and countryside. The farm shop was an added bonus with meat from the farm we enjoyed on a BBQ one evening. The host is extremely friendly and responded quickly in our conversations pre arrival. Perfect spot for a family or group of friends exploring Speyside. Thank you!

Really nice house, quiet street, 10 minutes walk to shops & cafes, small but sunny back garden

This was a great stay. Birchwood cottage is the perfect base for exploring the Cairngorms, and is a very cosy and comfortable home to return to after a long day in the hills. Although situated in the attractive town of Braemar, it feels very private and is extremely quiet and peaceful. The living room is light and spacious and the view looks over Raymond and Sandra's beautiful garden and on to the mountains beyond. The bike storage shed was invaluable. Raymond and Sandra are very kind, friendly and helpful hosts and respond very quickly to any queries. I would thoroughly recommend this stay and would be very happy to return.

One of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed - both the beauty of the surroundings and the house itself with gorgeous views and unique design and decor. Cozy living room with great view. Basically two master bedrooms. Great kitchen and dining room. Nice deck if weather permits. Close to railway walking path. I even caught four brown trout from shore just across the lake. Highly recommend!

This is a fantastic place to stay for a short break, house is lovely, clean and most important a comfy bed, parking in the drive and the view is incredible. Walked along the coast to thinkers hill and the former lime kilns. Meal at the Anchor hotel, and ice cream at the wee cafe. Will definately visit again, thanks Loren

Absolutely beautiful cottage in the heart of Dufftown. Close to everything and Forbes was always there if we had any questions or needed any recommendations.

Clover Cottage was absolutely magical. The house is private, nestled in gorgeous Scottish countryside, perfect for long walks with the dogs and really, truly escaping. The house was incredibly cozy, and we loved the hot tub. The nearest shops are a bit of a drive, but we just stocked up and nestled in. I absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for some peace and quiet!

Comfortable, clean, convenient for shops & local beautiful surrounding countryside. Some good cycling on quiet roads.

Perfect place and location for my 4 day stay. As a solo visitor I felt completely safe to walk around the area at any time. The cottage is very comfortable. Cheryl and her husband are friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.

Great place to stay in the Cairngorms. Fully equipped kitchen for cooking meals. Amazing whisky corner which my husband greatly appreciated.

Lovely flat, close to city centre and walkable to all of Aberdeen. Would recommend and would stay here again.

We were very comfortable at Earl and Helen's apartment. It's a terrific space with a great bed, loads of room, and everything you would need. We especially appreciated the washer and dryer and well appointed kitchen. Situated close to several bus lines, it is easy to navigate around Dundee. Great value, clean, safe and quiet, it is everything you could hope for!

The Apartment in Highland Council was very nice and clean! There were also plenty of towels! The highlight was the beautiful, modern bathroom with the wonderful shower with a full enclosure door and a niche to place your shampoos, etc. Believe us when we say this is a plus in the UK! The water pressure and the hot water was also a plus. Again, this is not always the case in the UK! The apartment was quiet even though it is situated right by a road. The parking is by its back door/patio entrance which is by the market parking lot. We entered and exited from this door during our stay, and used the market parking near the back gate. The kitchen is adorable and functional, but it’s small. It has a very small refrigerator, so small amounts of groceries are best to buy if you’re cooking in. There were some staples available for use, a coffee maker and a kettle. The washer dryer was definitely a plus!

Second time we have stayed here. It's just perfect. Apart from being about 30 seconds from the beach, there was everything we needed. Despite being close to the beach and a play park it was really quiet when you were indoors Great walks up to Monifieth most days. Five minutes from the station and then seven minutes in to Dundee. Dawn was at the end of the phone or a text if we needed anything. We will definitely be back

we had an atmospheric spacious and comfortable home and a beautiful hall with books, DVDs and games. Everything is abundantly present and tasteful. Well-stocked neighborhood supermarket opposite the house, one restaurant in the village, where you can eat deliciously and cozily. Highly recommended for nature lovers!!!

Very helpful host. Great place!

Great location, was ideal for us climbing munros. Had great views from the house. Was also very spacious.

Amazing location for a relaxing few days. Stunning home, surrounded by beautiful countryside.

It was a wonderful place to stay with great scenic views and a peaceful atmosphere . The hosts Alexandra and David were such great people which made the stay even more pleasant. Would definitely stay here again.

Marie was a great hostess and the house was amazing in great condition and very clean. The location is good and Marie assisted us with all the questions and had a full breakfast prepared for us.

Very comfortable house right in the heart of Newtonmore - was a perfect location for a family winter break. Lots of space with 2 lounges and generously sized bedrooms. Really well equipped with everything you could need in the kitchen in particular plus lots of games and books for the wet days (there were a few!). Off-street parking, nearby co-op shop and responsive hosts made for a stress free and enjoyable stay. We hope to be back!

What an amazing house and location. We have had a magical Christmas with everything we needed; walks, tennis, piano. The layout of the house and expansive living space suited us very well. The dog was as thrilled as her humans. The kitchen/dining room/glassware/crockery/cutlery are genuinely set up for a huge number which makes catering so much easier. As long as you don’t mind a short walk, Banchory is accessible by foot- you need a head torch in Winter! Definitely on the repeat list!

We really enjoyed our stay at “The Stables”, the pictures are brilliant but the place in person is even better! We booked the accommodation for my best friends hen weekend and it really had the best aesthetic. The layout of the living area and kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms was great. Everything was up to date and clean… apart from (unfortunately) the outside kitchen… it was pretty gross, hadn’t been cleaned and there was empty glass bottle and glasses all over this areas. It was really not great, especially if we had gone ahead with hiring a private chef as this is the area we were going to use… glad we didn’t. The other parts of outside were lovely, hot tub and seating areas etc. On the Saturday we were quite shocked and not very comfortable with hotel staff just wondering in and out of our accommodation to get chairs out of a store in the back?! This really wasn’t acceptable, especially being a group of young ladies in swimwear having drinks outside, apparently they were allowed.
