Cottage holiday rentals in Balmoral

Incredible views around Elie, the coast and golf course. The property is highly specced and we could not be happier with our visit. Fiona provides clear instructions on how to access the property. Will definitely be back!!

Our stay lived up to high expectations. Ainslie went over and above with decorations for my boyfriend’s birthday; welcome notes; homemade cake; fizz and ice in the fridge. She was warm and welcoming, and we felt completely relaxed. So grateful for such a lovely stay in a beautiful area. We will definitely be back! Thank you Ainslie 🥰🤩🥳

Nice place for a quiet get away. Sauna and hot tub are great additions. No neighbours so we're able to enjoy the garden into the evening.

The Arches was a lovely place to stay. Very comfortable space which allowed us to really relax and switch off. We particularly liked the hot tub and, due to the amazing weather while we were there, we even got to sit in the private courtyard and eat breakfast outdoors. The property has everything you could need. Good kitchen and comfy sofa in the living room. The bed is very comfortable and huge! Fab shower and bath set up. We enjoyed a walk up the hill where the views were stunning. Would recommend this walk. We went into Cupar for lunch one day and ate in the Boudingait which was very tasty food. Would recommend. We would definitely return to The Arches. We’ve been to a lot of AirBnB properties and this is up there with the best we’ve been to. Thank you!

We loved staying at Andrew's place. The Airbnb itself was gorgeous and had everything you might need for a beautiful summers day or a cosy winter night in. The highlight of the stay was meeting the animals and exploring, it was such a unique experience and we were all sad we couldn't make the most of it. Would highly recommend and we would definitely stay here again!

Dina was great. She was away while we visited but was still helpful and responsive from Australia. Beautiful peaceful little home with views of the pasture, cows, and rabbits from the hot tub area.

I absolutely loved this serene little guesthouse tucked away just outside of Edinburgh. It was very nice, clean, and functional for our family group. It was easy to navigate from there to surrounding areas by car. Ali was so personable and friendly! Truly a pleasure to stay here, and we would gladly stay again!

What a cracking location. We were very comfortable and had a great few days exploring the area. Jackie was a kind and considerate host. Friendly pub a short walk from the cottage next to the harbour.

I'm not normally one to stay inside when on holiday, but this was just too lovely a place not to! So comfortable, relaxing and peaceful with the only sound being the waves gently crashing against the shore. I read, I knitted and got a lot of work done on the laptop. I wish my budget would let me stay longer! The place is so well thought out and the furniture and decor is so beautifully curated. I need to come back! Thanks Caron

We booked for a last minute get away and Tim & Judy’s place did not disappoint! The cottage was gorgeous and Tim was very helpful in getting us settled - peanuts were set right outside the kitchen window and we had red squirrels within minutes! Lots more bird watching was done throughout our stay :)) The fire and heaters kept us cosy, and the kitchen was well equipped. Will be returning soon hopefully!

This is our 4th visit to Railway cottage and it won’t be our last. It’s well placed for driving in to Aviemore, Newtonmore, Kincraig and Kingussie and there are walks you can do from the door. It’s a cosy and welcoming place to stay and very comfortable. There are lots of activities on the nearby estates including quad biking, horse riding, zip wires, canyoning, clay pigeon shooting and archery. Lots of good places to eat too.

Lyn of Sheval Croft is a piece of heaven on Earth. It was incredibly charming inside and sitting in the dome in the evening watching the sunset was so peaceful. We loved watching the horses roam in the field behind the house. Jennifer was a great host giving us incredibly detailed instructions that made our stay seamless. She also provided fantastic recommendations for in home whiskey tasting by Steve and local in home meal delivery by Mac & Cat. We hope to make it back to Speyside and would absolutely stay here again!

Amazing view 👍🏽👍🏽

very quiet. had everything we needed and a true Scottish feel. would stay again

Very nice stay, we found a couple of great walks courtesy of locals and had a drink in the recently reopened Fortingall Hotel. Recommend a drive out to the Post Office Tea Room in Glen Lyon (nice walks there) and then circle back via Ben Lawers, beautiful drive (if you’re comfortable with single track roads). Chris and Janet are perfect hosts and have created a very comfortable space

Stunning location for a peaceful getaway. Had the pleasure to spend 5 nights at the cottage for a mini-break. The house has everything you need for your stay and the beauty of the location speaks for itself. The icing on the cake is the private beach, great for the doggies and getting out on the water. Sure we'll be back!

We had a lovely stay at Laura's place. The cottage is a bit remote, but thanks to Laura's good description, we found it immediately. Laura greeted us very nicely. It was no problem that we arrived late in the evening. The cottage was clean and cozy. There was everything we needed. This made us feel very comfortable.

A lovely comfortable and well renovated cottage in a wonderful location. Well situated for exploring the Scottish Highlands. Would highly recommend.

If you want to be right in the heart of Edinburgh’s vibrant Grassmarket neighborhood, this cottage is a dream come true. Step outside and you’re surrounded by historic pubs, lively restaurants, and charming shops, with all the city’s best sights just a short stroll away. Yet, as soon as you enter, you’ll discover a peaceful, hidden world—like your very own secret garden. The cottage itself is cozy and beautifully decorated, with every comfort thoughtfully provided. Lush greenery and enchanting gardens greet you at the entrance, creating a magical, secluded atmosphere that feels worlds away from the city bustle. One of the highlights is the stunning view of Edinburgh Castle from your window, making every moment feel special. This is the perfect spot for anyone who wants the excitement of Edinburgh on their doorstep, but also craves the tranquility and charm of a secret garden retreat.

Great spot for a base while exploring the Cairngorms. Accommodation of a high standard and perfect for two couples looking for a peaceful country break.

This cottage is one of a kind. What a beautiful and authentic Scottish home and surroundings. Yvonne was very responsive when we needed her. Incredible stay!

Lovely stay at The Croft at Urqhuart B and B. Simon and Annie are great hosts who provide a lovely place to stay. Loved the bath after a big day of hiking near Beauly and Fort Augustus. Their hiking suggestions were also very helpful. Only suggestion for improvement is the need for block out curtains in the bedroom, as in June it is pretty much light all day and night.

This is an outstanding place for kids and furry friends. Sue and Jim could not have been more helpful or welcoming - the cottage is pristine, cosy and with all you need no matter the weather. The grounds are stunning; affording you real privacy and lots to explore and do from climbing trees to den making, and all whilst surrounded by nature. You are only 10 mins from Inverurie which has plenty of shops to meet your needs. A trip to the Old Post Office for brilliant cakes, Castle Fraser and Kemnay are worth a visit as is the Pit Stop for a great fry up and the Gordon Highlanders museum is perfect for a raining day. Easily the most pet friendly place we have ever stayed.

Excellent cottage .Very well equipped with comfortable and useful furniture. Spacious toilet with excellent facilities. Kitchen particularly good. with excellent appliances, crockery and utensils. Overall very comfortable wee place with wood stove and central heating when required. Location in a beautiful spot on the edge of Strathmore with the Angus hills behind. Ideal for those who like to enjoy a " back of beyond" area.
