Lovely stay. The cottage, Ballater and surrounding area made a great place for an interesting holiday.

Good location. Clean and comfortable. Two good-sized bedrooms and plenty of stylishly furnished living space. We had great weather and enjoyed sitting out in the garden but can imagine Gairnlea as a cosy winter retreat.

Perfect place to stay if you’re looking to experience what Scotland has to offer.

Fantastic location, the house was beautifully decorated with a Scottish theme throughout. Clean and tidy with the most comfortable beds. Loved the 2 separate areas for relaxing ( living room with log burning fire for cold winter evenings and the dinning room for meals and relaxation) Excellent storage for snowboards and bikes which highlights the benefit of the location for exploring the outdoors. So much to do and visit making this house the perfect based.
