House holiday rentals in Ballater

Caravan was in a great spot with a golf green in front of us, dog loved watching the golfers all day, would book again, the site is perfect for the beach and various walks with the dog.

Lovely cottage, very comfortable and well-equipped, spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. Peaceful rural area with some nice walks and local wildlife around. The pool and jacuzzi were also super clean and a great addition. Highly recommended!

I went with 12 family members and pictures don’t do justice to this fantastic spot! Absolutely would recommend to everyone. Very peaceful surroundings so many things to do inside and outside the lodge. Alan was really really helpful answered pretty much straightaway to every message I sent. Not a single cobweb in sight around the whole lodge and this place is huge! All the facilities and amenities you need are located within the house.

We had a lovely long weekend at Tarken House. The views are beautiful. The house is spacious, well stocked and easily accommodated the 10 of us, all adults. House was lovely and warm and very clean. Beds are very comfortable and good size en-suites. Jonathon was very quick to respond to any queries we had. Would highly recommend Tarken House and definitely be back again.

A fabulous lodge on a great site. So comfortable with everything you could want. Beautiful bedding and towels. Great showers. Lovely 5 ring cooker and plenty pits and pans. Tanya was great leading up to the visit making sure we had all the info we needed. Very responsive when we had one or two questions. The only minor issue we had is that there is no terrestial tv due to location. We had to use apps on our phone. Highly recommended.

Fantastic cottage for 2. Well equipped and spotlessly clean. Loacation is great with easy walking distance to Centre of town. Would stay again.

I really love this cosy, private and beautiful cottage. I have stayed here a few times now for work and pleasure and it’s an ideal spot for both. I get such good nights’ sleep and the bird song is delightful. Everywhere is so green! The cottage itself has everything you need in it and it’s warm and cosy too. It’s a unique setting with a very special extra, where you can swim in their private pool if you wish. Thank you again for being really friendly and accommodating hosts. I’ll be back ! Or rather we will be- Matilda and Brown dog 😊🐾

We had a lovely stay. The nature surrounding the property was beautiful and peaceful. The house itself was cozy and well equipped. I would highly recommend this place to anyone thats looking for a relaxing nature getaway.

The cottage is very easy to relax in. Bea and Moose were always friendly and helpful. We enjoyed being there very much as well as visiting local towns.

What a gem!! We enjoyed our stay so much! The home was cozy , comfortable and in an amazing area. The kitchen has everything you need to make meals. The town and people of Nairn are lovely. Staying here was a highlight of our holiday and we highly recommend it!

We had a great stay here over Easter weekend with our two children. The location is great, as we like to travel around when we visit Aberdeenshire. Calm and tranquil, yet close enough to many locations. The property itself was perfect and just like the photos. A great stay.

We had a fantastic stay! Highly recommend staying at Nicole’s cottage.

Thoroughly enjoyed! Comfort level excellent (especially bedroom). Cottage included everything you’d require for relaxing/cooking and having made the most of our week’s stay we appreciated a home from home to return to. I’d recommend Auchterarder and surrounding areas, and Dunsmore was just perfect. Credit to owners.

We were travelling on a family holiday with my elderly parents and we had the most wonderful of times in Pitlochry. The house is very spacious, clean and perfectly maintained. The hosts were clearly communicating with us and making sure that we had a great time together. We would definitely recommend and always come back when we next visit Scotland!

The Clearing was an absolutely beautiful accommodation which was kept absolutely pristine! The host, David, was super kind and accommodating for our trip, and very proactive and responsive and providing taxi recommendations and checking if we needed anything during our stay. We used the property as wedding accommodation and a bridal accommodation for getting ready in the morning. It was stunning and the natural light and beautiful decor and art were a fantastic backdrop for the day! I would come back here in a heartbeat!

A really great place to stay. Wonderful welcome pack, crystal clear, and comprehensive, instructions, and a lovely location. Rosalind was a very responsive, helpful and friendly host. We’d, certainly, recommend the property to friends and family.

We had a fantastic stay! The house is located in a wonderful and peaceful spot, surrounded by beautiful countryside—perfect for a relaxing getaway. Inside, the property was spotless, spacious, and impeccably presented. Everything we needed was provided, and it was extremely well equipped, making it feel like a real home away from home. Communication with the hosts was perfect—friendly, prompt, and helpful throughout. Highly recommended!

Four of us stayed in Maggie's apartment for several nights and it was very roomy and comfortable with a large kitchen, living room, and bedrooms and bathroom upstairs. It was also very quiet at night with the old churchyard out the back window. Just past the church is a nice place to stroll along trails through a conservation area and along the River Don. It was very easy to checkin with a key in the the lockbox plus Maggie let us move in early. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Maggie!

Peaceful and quiet location perfectly situated to explore the local area. Comfortable and well equipped home with multiple large / spacious living spaces and an extensive well maintained garden.

We have just returned from a fabulous week at Denfield. The house is beautiful, spotlessly clean, with a beautiful outside sitting area and view across the fields to the sea. Shirley and John, the hosts, were great. Communication was excellent and they checked in with us during our stay to ensure that everything was ok. They also provided a tasty starter pack for us including the most delicious local strawberries. Our group included a small dog and my Mum who has mobility issues. However, the house was well set up for her, with a large downstairs bedroom and en suite/jack & jill bathroom. The dog was also made welcome, with treats and a Mud Daddy portable shower unit for those wash downs after the beach walks! I would not hesitate to recommend this house and would visit again. Thank you Shirley and John for such a great stay!

We had a lovely 5 night stay! Check in was fine, no problems. The interior is very comfortable and tastefully designed displaying original art and all furnishings are of a high quality. The kitchen is large with everything one would need to prepare a complex meal, excluding condiments and spice, so bring your own. Oil, coffee and salt and pepper are provided. The bedrooms are nice and comfy. The steel tub, in one of the bedrooms, is splendid. Plus there’s plenty of hot water to fill it! We sat in the pretty garden, it’s lush with mature shrubs and flowering plants…but be aware of the stinging nettle. My dog got her paws badly stung and I had brushed into some myself for a whole day of annoying tingling. Bring some Benadryl just incase. If you’re avid walkers, definitely explore the grounds, gardens, pond and tower, all stunning. It’s a large holding, lots to explore. Alexander was very responsive and accommodating. But book now, we noticed future prices are going up!

We stayed for a week for my partners birthday and had the most incredible time. The views were stunning and you could just sit all day and watch the wildlife on the lake! Beds were comfy and had all the amenities you needed. We didn’t want to leave!

We loved our family weekend stay at Glenshieling House. The house is fabulous, bedrooms and ensuites stunning, the whole house is vibrant, colourful and we loved it. Hope to be back, thanks so much.

I booked Carolyn's place on behalf of my colleagues. They had a fantastic stay and had everything they needed.
