Cottage vacation rentals in Cairngorms

We were looking for a total peaceful break, clear instructions on how to use amenities, hot tub was really clean and really warm so enjoyed hours relaxing in it! Thank you Ainslie ❤️

From the decoration to the location , Katrina's cottage is beautiful. it was so clean which was fantastic too. The hot tub was so relaxing with the view adding to the experience.. the privacy screens were very thoughtful too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to return

We had a wonderful family break! We loved the outdoor space and the beds were super comfortable! We made use of the hot tub and BBQ and enjoyed days out to Stonehaven and St Cyrus beach.

Would just like to say thank you for my stay me and my family loved it spicily the love for cars and stuff cars what was clear throw out the house as someone who’s into cars my self 10/10 for that one small thing can be tricky to get parked sometimes tho that has nothing to do with host just the street but 100% does not affect the stay just to be mindful other than that 10/10 we place really is thank you so much will be back again!!!

Lovely cottage , lovely garden and location is beautiful . Michaella was very helpful with directions and making our family weekend away very enjoyable and relaxing . We will definately look at rebooking the next time we are in the area

Lovely one night stay. The cottage was immaculate. The location was idyllic. The cottage was clean and had everything you'd need. Loved the hot tub.. im sure we'll be back. Thank you 😊

We had a beautiful home from home stay at this lovely cottage. Everything was perfect and an ideal set up for our toddler too. The garden was wonderful to explore and it was ideal to have the woodland paths right on our front door step. The hot tub on the bedroom patio was a little sun trap and perfect for relaxing. The cottage had everything we could have wanted and a well set up kitchen. Lots of do in the local area and an evening spent by the open fire was the perfect was to end the day. Laura was a really attentive host, accommodating our extra requests and meeting us at the property - thanks for a lovely stay we would absolutely love to come back.

This cottage truly is off the grid. The owner Tilly had to drive us there from Tomintoul 15 min drive. No other house in sight. Just pure hilly countryside with about 100 deers hanging out in the field in front of us. Amazing peaceful place with outstanding views. No WiFi but liked that. Good 4g reception and digital terrestrial TV with a DVD player and choice of DVDs. We made good use of the hot tub daily and the sauna and even braved the plunge pool a few times which has fresh water from the mountains. Quite refreshing. We did a couple of day trips to Loch Ness 90 min and G2 adventure 50 min away. Local village Tomintoul has a nice village shop with amenities and pubs and restaurants. A restful idyllic place and good value for money.

We had a brilliant 4 day break at this lovely wee cottage. There was absolutely everything we needed for our stay and we loved all the extra wee decorative touches Brett has added too. We were blessed with sun every day and breakfast in the cute wee garden was a great way to start each day. Loved that we were 1 minutes walk from the beach and did a lot of exploring along this beautiful part of the coast. We even did a bit of body boarding in the sea too!! Would definitely stay again.

We absolutely loved our stay at this gorgeous renovated cottage. We loved the decor and feel of the cottage, it was so cosy and comfortable and we loved having the indoor fire. Everything was just perfect. The owners are lovely and helped with everything we needed. Cute towns nearby to explore so it made for a perfect couple of nights on our travels.

Lovely stay! Accommodation was beautiful, all the thoughtful extras I’ve probably never seen an Airbnb go so far out their way to add that little extra to enhance a visitors stay. Very responsive to questions and the property was immaculately clean! 5 ⭐️

We had a lovely time in Aviemore. The property was as described on the site and is in a quiet area but within walking distance to town Carol was very helpful and responded quickly to any queries. I would highly recommend the property and visit again.

What an amazing place! Step back in time into an authentic old Scottish cottage. Sitting outside drinking my coffee looking at the view surrounded by nature was so relaxing. You will not find hosts anywhere else as friendly as Judy and Tim. The kitchen window had every kind of wildlife you can imagine and the red squirrels on the windowsill each morning made our day. Being dog friendly there is also little woods owned by the hosts to allow your dogs to run around as it is all enclosed. Such an amazing place….. we will be back ❤️

We had a lovely stay. The local surroundings were beautiful and fascinating. The pub attached to the hotel next door was perfect for food. The cottage is lovely and cosy , we absolutely loved the real fire and listening to the running water of the little brook outside the back door.

We had a fantastic stay here! The cottage is lovely and immaculate! Rhona was really proactive with communication and gave us great recommendations for nearby restaurants and cafes. The location is beautiful! Just a few steps to a lovely and peaceful beach and 10 minutes walk into town. We hope to be back!

We found the location and facilities of Lisa and Martins cottage to be superb. The cozy cottage is within walking distance to all of the local shops, pubs and restaurants but is still very quiet. We had delicious meals at the Clachan Grill and Balmoral Arms. Cottage is stylishly decorated, spotlessly clean with a beautiful garden area which the dogs loved. We found everything we needed for a great stay, Martin gave us some really useful tips on things to do and see in the area. Loved it here, the scenery in and around Ballater is breath taking ! Wonderful hosts, would recommend this cottage to anyone. Would book again !

We had a great holliday. Location and the house were both perfect! The house was spotless and everything you need is there. Lots of great walks from the cottage. We all (family with 3 kids) had a wonderfull holiday.

Lovely cozy cottage. Good location for the town centre. We had a great stay and would recommend to friends and family. Thank you for having us!

Lovely cottage in a beautiful location. Clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Peaceful area so great to relax. Perfect for what we needed! Defo recommend and will be rebooking again! Thanks Paul

We had a lovely stay at Cornelius's place. The location was great, cottage was comfy and warm (we loved the wood stove, kept the whole place warm). Our only regret was that we only had three nights there. There is so much to do you could easily spend much longer there. Thanks. Andy, Zara and Ayesha

Kathryn is a great friendly host! The place is beautiful and she has provided all including every spice for the kitchen. Highly responsive and a joyful person! We had a wonderful stay!

Perfect last minute find for a one night stay. Was bless with sun and clear sky for star gazing on the patio. Cottage is a few minutes walk to the loch edge, that I took full advantage of with a morning dip (albeit I had planned for a swim….) It was perfectly stocked, even with a small bottle of milk and cake (and robes and blanket)! Forever grateful for the memories made! Already planning for a winter return!

We loved staying at Woodside, it had such a good feel to the place, really warm and comfortable, exactly what you’re after on a break away. Stunning surroundings, lovely garden and a well thought out and cared for home, really lovely! We’ll definitely be back and will recommend to friends and family thanks x

We did get a little lost once we entered the estate as there was roads forking in two directions but a quick call to Gill had us back on track. Beware of the track leading up to Garden Cottage as there are a lot of pot holes. It was all worth it once we got to the cottage though. The cottage was clean and spacious with a lovely log fire that we took advantage of everyday. Plenty walks around the estate, pity we couldn't walk up to Forglen House but you get pretty views from the river.
