Description
Riverside Cottage was one of Ballater's earliest buildings and when Karl first visited it, it had gone to ruin. The property has now been comprehensively but sympathetically renovated and offers a cosy yet spacious home away from home with all the usual modern amenities & more in a great location to explore Ballater and all of Deeside.
The two-story house sleeps up to 6 & has a comfortable lounge with 2 large sofas & a woodburning stove, a spacious kitchen, a garden view room with dining & seating area, cloakroom, and toilet downstairs. The bathroom & 2 bedrooms can be found upstairs, a super king double room & a twin room, which can be converted to a super king, both have bedside cabinets and wardrobes. The bathroom is well sized and boasts a built-in shower & separate large double ended bath. A further 2 guests sleep on a sofa bed located in the room overlooking the garden.
The garden features an eco-friendly fire heated hot tub, a great way to unwind after exploring some of the local activities available; be it fishing, a distillery tour, hiking, biking or even skiing in the winter!
Ballater also offers a number of local restaurants and cafes for dining out, alternatively the cottage has a fully equipped kitchen to cook for yourselves & there is also an outside dining area in the secluded courtyard for those warmer days.

A wonderful stay
The property is lovely and bigger than I’d expected. We loved the hot tub and got to work on chopping the wood straight away. The house was very clean with everything we needed, although blackout blinds would help in the bedroom as it was light from 4am I do wish there was some parking at the property as there seemed to be so many empty spaces - but parking is free in the town. Ballater is beautiful and we loved our stay.

Lovely little stay
Great property with a really nice quiet location in a very cute town. Property had plenty of space and comfort for our family of 5 and the owners provide a lot of great local information.
