Lovely little place with high-quality furnishings. Just a short walk from the middle of Ballater but feels quiet and peaceful. The lounge/dining room catches the late afternoon sun and has a view up to the oak woods of Craigendarroch hill. It's quite a small place (the reasonable price reflects this - it's in a 'premium' part of the Highlands) but the quality of the armchair, sofa and dining chairs would put many a grand country hotel to shame and made for a relaxing and memorable stay.

The location is brilliant, it’s in a nice quiet village and close to Glenshee Ski centre if you’re planning to go ski/snowboard. Clunie is quite a small cabin but it’s perfect for 1 or 2 people and for the price, it’s the best value accommodation for your money.

Dormie Cottage is a charming wee Bungalow in an enclosed garden on a very quiet street on the edge of Ballater. It sleeps a family of 4-5, and we were extremely comfortable the 3 days we spent in the town!

Beautiful cottage, well positioned very cosy and extremely well equipped. Had everything you needed (ie dishwasher tabs, numerous toilet rolls, washing up liquid etc etc) so really only had to turn up with clothes. Beds were lovely and comfortable and lovely bedding. Beautiful, very well equipped kitchen with great bath and shower. Great bonus of hot tub. Couldn't fault a thing - highly recommended - you will not be disappointed.

Really cosy cottage and really handy to the town centre. Fully enclosed garden so really good for pets and small children. No parking outside the property but this isn’t an issue as lots of on street parking less than a minute walk away. Hot tub outside was amazing and very easy to light. Great communication from the hosts especially Keira who was extremely helpful. Thankyou for a great stay- we will be back.
