Emma W. Jun 25, 2023 09:22:56 PM
Summary: We had an amazing week. The cottage was spotlessly clean and had everything needed for our stay. It is in a wonderful location next to the River Dee and close to Braemar. Scenery all around is stunning. The sun shone all week and so many lovely walks around the area. The cottage was ideal for our dog too. Excellent communication with the host. We would love to go back. Highly recommend staying here.

Summary: A great property with a vast range of utensils. Basement great for wet weather gear, but would benefit from having somewhere to hang things. I would return tomorrow if I had the leave!

Summary: The property is stunning and well presented in a superb location, you couldn't ask for a more breath taking outlook. The cottage itself is very homely, with hardwood floors and minimal ornamentation. Ideal for those with younger children or pets. There are a few areas that could do with a spruce up, but these are merely cosmetic and didn't detract from our stay. Whilst the property was clean, it wasn't thorough in my opinion, which meant we did a little cleaning ourselves; not a major issue. The walk along the road to Braemar is literally 15mins, or you can take a longer route alongside the River Dee, and there are no end of walks available in the surrounding area. All in all we had a superb 2wks and would definitely recommend.

Summary: We had a wonderful family stay at this beautiful house in Braemar. The views are gorgeous and the location was perfect for sight seeing and day trips. We also enjoyed the paths in and around the town. Would highly recommend this house!
