Lovely cottage very comfortable everything you need for a relaxing stay. Location perfect only a short drive into Ballater and not far to Balmoral. Lovely walks in the woods. Overall perfect cottage for a short break for 2 people plus a Great Host!

“Quiet. Nice wee walk into Ballater and close to Balmoral.”

Peaceful. Comfortable. Perfect for a quiet weekend away

“Peaceful and relaxing”

Location is amazing - lovely and peaceful - plenty walks around about.

Great property and great location especially good for our dogs although not a big garden area there was a lovely field to walk the dogs in just next to the property. Excellent walks around the property and into Ballater. The property had everything you needed for a very comfortable stay. Especially enjoyed coming back from long walk to nice worm property. Comfortable sofa and bed and the bath and shower was lovely. Very friendly and helpful owner who was on hand to answer any queries.

“Excellent four night break in beautiful Deeside. Will stay again in Cairn Leuchan when we next return.”

Perfect for a couple (plus dog) - very clean and comfortable with lots of living space, such a comfy bed, smart bathroom, well provisioned kitchen. Walks from the door. Nothing too much bother for the owner (delivered farm eggs to doorstep, returned item left behind).

“A really lovely stay, We’re definitely going to return.”

Clean warm tidy comfortable

“The perfect stay”

Lovely place, lovely location 😀

“Amazing stay, would recommend and stay again!”

Amazing place, has everything you need and more! Clare was an amazing host who went above and beyond. Very dog friendly, love the private front garden. Location is fantastic, less than 5 minutes drive from Ballater.

“A quiet weekend getaway.”

Clean and relaxing. Fresh eggs. Dogs allowed.

“A perfect comfortable cosy stay.”

Warm and cosy, with lovely towels, bedding, and toiletries. The bed was huge and very comfortable too. The property is in an excellent location and just a short walk from the town.

“5/5 Stars: A Stunning and Cozy Getaway!”

Location (5/5): The cottage is perfectly situated in Ballater, right in the heart of Royal Deeside and the beautiful Cairngorms National Park. It serves as an ideal base for both serious hiking and gentle exploration. Being able to drive past landmarks like Balmoral Castle on our way to activities was a real treat. The village itself offers charming local shops and is just a short drive or slightly longer walk away. The Property (5/5): The accommodation was incredibly cozy and welcoming. It was exceptionally warm and comfortable, perfect for winding down after a day out in the Scottish air. The cottage felt clean, well-maintained, and provided a peaceful retreat.

“A great place in a great area of Scotland”

Very comfy

whole experience, helpful local advice from host Clare

“Clare our host couldn’t do enough for us and the property was delightful.”

The downstairs was a really delightful living space and very well appointed. Exceptionally clean and modern. TV with lots of channels, parking outside the door and the bathroom was really lovely

“Relaxing and peaceful break”

Lovely cosy cottage in quiet location. Everything you need is there and it has a lovely feel to it. Lovely walk into ballater and lots to see and do in deeside. Our Labrador loved it!

“Found the cottage very comfortable and enjoyed our stay very much. Lovely walks on the doorstep and a choice of restaur”

Very comfortable, well equipped..

Perfect base for walking in the SE Grampians. The cottage was really comfortable and ideally located a short walk from Ballater. Clare was a wonderful host and ensured we had everything we needed for our stay. Appreciated the great coffee machine, lovely toiletries and beautiful artwork. We would highly recommend Cairn Leuchan and will be booking again next time we are on Deeside.
