Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Ballater

A truly amazing and special location It’s not often one can stay so close to the sea Watched dolphins jumping in the bay one evening A magical three days to celebrate a family birthday

Absolute perfection- already trying to find dates to return. Beds were extremely comfortable, the place was completely spotless, property extensively spacious and the views! Oh my god, the views! Kitchen well catered for- Inc a Bosch coffee machine you should buy pods for. There is also a Webber kettle bbq outside. Hot tub was modern and just such a treat after the Glen Tarken hike. Thanks Lorna!

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

We, a family with two children, found it very cozy in the house. The house is old and has been carefully renovated, so that it exudes a very nice charm and yet is modern.

What stunning views and such a tranquil location. Loved our stay and hosts were so accommodating when we were a little late and they opened up for our grocery delivery driver! We are a family of four with a dog and loved using the enclosed garden, bbq and fire pit. Beds are comfortable and showers are super. Even the sofa bed is great! Would stay again. Many thanks to Jane!

Almost everything exceeded expectations, lovely clean cottage, ideal for our 4 day stay. Comfortable bed, chairs , really good kitchen. Street parking was tight, but we had had that explained before arrival. Only down feature, was the shower, which was too small for us to comfortably access and use.

Rock Cottage was a great ‘study camp’ for my daughter in the run-up to her exams. The house was immaculate and very much a home from home. The beds were very comfortable. The highlight, though, is outdoors - the wild garden is enchanting and full of bird life - we loved sitting in the sun room watching the swallows outside, followed by the bats at dusk. It’s in a very peaceful location but only a short drive to Kenmore or Aberfeldy for shops and restaurants. We’d love to be back!

Loved staying here, it’s exactly what it says , enjoyed the wildlife and so quiet except for the beautiful stags behind the cottage which I enjoyed listening to in the evening and morning, Fiona was very responsive when we needed to get in touch.

Our stay at the cottage was lovely. Ashley was quick to respond when we were having trouble with the WIFI . It was so peaceful and managed to spot a dear as we arrived. Would highly recommend. Colin, Michael &Lina.

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.

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 😊🐾

Very lovely location. People/staff were very welcoming and a barrel of laughs. Cannot fault our stay.

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.

awesome location, friendly people, would highly recommend for sure !

This a homely and characterful property right next to the sea on the edge of Pittenweem. It’s a short walk to several lovely cafes, a basic local store and the like. Though there is no direct car access, there is free public car parking 100yd or so away and we never had a problem finding a space. The house is warm, clean and nicely furnished with a spacious kitchen/living area and good-sized bedrooms. It was ideal to feel tucked away from the main tourist areas of Pittenweem - it was remarkably quiet at night - while retaining quick and easy access to amenities. Pittenweem is a great base for exploring Scotland’s beautiful east coast, with multiple beaches a short drive away. The only downsides were not having a supermarket within walking distance and having to take our own refuse and recycling away due to the lack of kerbside collections. Overall this was a delightful holiday home and location for our family and we would stay again.

We had a lovely two night stay - easy to find, clean cottage, wonderful grounds to explore, lots of great tips from Andrew in terms of things to look out for in the grounds, loved finding the wishing well! The cocker spaniel puppy was a lovely surprise bonus!

Beautiful cabin with charming interior and fabulous wood burner. Truly excellent location for hiking in Glen Lyon. Tim was a fabulous host who gave the airbnb experience we remember from the early days which is often missing now. Loved it!

Fiona's place was spacious and very well kitted out, especially the kitchen. She was also very helpful in giving advice on hikes in the area

We had an amazing week at the little cabin on the loch with our 2 dogs Jasper and Jeanie. It has everything you need for a peaceful time to yourselves. Sue and Henk were lovely to chat to when our paths crossed and they made sure everything was perfect for us. We adopted the friendly red squirrel for the week, who was always enjoying the surroundings of the loch. Its perfect location means the loch is a stones throw away, we went down every day for either a swim or a paddle board. If you too stay here then Mhor bakery in Callander is a must, the sourdough bread and scotch pies are amazing!! Thanks again to Sue and Henk for providing the perfect place for us to relax, celebrate and enjoy the loch!

Fabulous wee cottage in a beautiful garden overlooking the sea. Worked perfectly for us as a ‘micro break’ allowing us to forget the time pressures and responsibilities of the real world for a few days. Tastefully decorated with seaside vibes and everything you needed on hand. Want to tell folks how great it was but the same time want to keep it a secret so that there will be space to book again!

lovely stay with fantastic views from the living room and great walks on the doorstep

Gardener’s Cottage is the perfect place to get away from it all. Brilliant for couples and families. Alexandra is a superb host, very helpful and gave us a tour of the castle which was incredibly interesting. Cannot recommend Alexandra or Monzie Estate highly enough.

We've just returned from another wonderful stay at Hilary & Graeme 's cottage. The cottage is so peaceful and is in an ideal location to explore the surrounding countryside. A beautiful space to unwind and relax. Hilary left us a much appreciated treat basket which is a lovely touch. Looking forward to our stay next year.

Lovely peaceful place to stay. We loved the resident deer, the sound of the birds, the rabbits and the area was really beautiful with a few nature reserves just down the road. The cottage itself is very tiny, but has a lovely history. The WiFi works but is a little patchy but that's to be expected in rural Scotland. Cat (the owner) is very responsive and helpful.
