Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Ballater

Great, quiet, peaceful atmosphere inside and outside the farmhouse. Great home-like atmosphere in a lovely rural location

We booked this place to climb Ben Nevis which was just over an hour away. Really nice house and quite a peaceful area with great views, would definitely recommend. Thanks

This is a fantastic place to stay for a short break, house is lovely, clean and most important a comfy bed, parking in the drive and the view is incredible. Walked along the coast to thinkers hill and the former lime kilns. Meal at the Anchor hotel, and ice cream at the wee cafe. Will definately visit again, thanks Loren

Das Haus war wunderschön, schönes Ambiente, sehr liebevoll eingerichtet, sehr sauber und man merkte das viel Liebe im Detail steckt. Kate hat auf Fragen sofort geantwortet und war sehr nett. Die Lage war auch sehr gut, in der Nähe ein kleiner Supermarkt, Cafés und Geschäfte ca. 10 Minuten zu Fuß. Haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und alles in allem war es bezaubernd!!! Wir können diese Unterkunft nur weiterempfehlen!!

Amanda es una propietaria excepcional! Siempre pendiente de todo por si necesitas cualquier cosa. Te hace sentir en casa y te facilita tanto la entrada como la salida. La casa es maravillosa y tenía todo lo que decía en la descripción y las fotos! Un gusto!!

What stunning views and such a tranquil location. Loved our stay and hosts were so accommodating when we were a little late and they opened up for our grocery delivery driver! We are a family of four with a dog and loved using the enclosed garden, bbq and fire pit. Beds are comfortable and showers are super. Even the sofa bed is great! Would stay again. Many thanks to Jane!

Rock Cottage was a great ‘study camp’ for my daughter in the run-up to her exams. The house was immaculate and very much a home from home. The beds were very comfortable. The highlight, though, is outdoors - the wild garden is enchanting and full of bird life - we loved sitting in the sun room watching the swallows outside, followed by the bats at dusk. It’s in a very peaceful location but only a short drive to Kenmore or Aberfeldy for shops and restaurants. We’d love to be back!

Clover Cottage was absolutely magical. The house is private, nestled in gorgeous Scottish countryside, perfect for long walks with the dogs and really, truly escaping. The house was incredibly cozy, and we loved the hot tub. The nearest shops are a bit of a drive, but we just stocked up and nestled in. I absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for some peace and quiet!

We voelde ons onmiddellijk thuis in de Eastwood lodge. Het was schoon in het huis en alle basisbenodigdheden waren aanwezig. Vanuit de lodge hebben we diverse uitstapjes gemaakt en op een regenachtige dag hebben we gebruik gemaakt van het zwembad in het hotel in Blairgowrie. Het is een heerlijk rustige plek midden in de natuur en naast een golfbaan, waar je geen last van ondervindt. Ashley reageerde ontzettend snel op onze berichten. Ik kan deze plek van harte aanbevelen.

I really love this cosy, private and beautiful cottage. I have stayed here a few times now for work and pleasure and it’s an ideal spot for both. I get such good nights’ sleep and the bird song is delightful. Everywhere is so green! The cottage itself has everything you need in it and it’s warm and cosy too. It’s a unique setting with a very special extra, where you can swim in their private pool if you wish. Thank you again for being really friendly and accommodating hosts. I’ll be back ! Or rather we will be- Matilda and Brown dog 😊🐾

Very lovely location. People/staff were very welcoming and a barrel of laughs. Cannot fault our stay.

We had a lovely stay. The nature surrounding the property was beautiful and peaceful. The house itself was cozy and well equipped. I would highly recommend this place to anyone thats looking for a relaxing nature getaway.

awesome location, friendly people, would highly recommend for sure !

This a homely and characterful property right next to the sea on the edge of Pittenweem. It’s a short walk to several lovely cafes, a basic local store and the like. Though there is no direct car access, there is free public car parking 100yd or so away and we never had a problem finding a space. The house is warm, clean and nicely furnished with a spacious kitchen/living area and good-sized bedrooms. It was ideal to feel tucked away from the main tourist areas of Pittenweem - it was remarkably quiet at night - while retaining quick and easy access to amenities. Pittenweem is a great base for exploring Scotland’s beautiful east coast, with multiple beaches a short drive away. The only downsides were not having a supermarket within walking distance and having to take our own refuse and recycling away due to the lack of kerbside collections. Overall this was a delightful holiday home and location for our family and we would stay again.

Had a lovely two-night stay at Badger’s Den with a few friends. The bedrooms are very compact, but the living area was nicely spacious. The kitchen was well-stocked and two toilets (one with shower) were appreciated. It’s a short walk to the absolutely stunning beach, though the caravan park pool was an extra charge. Overall, a great small place for a short stay.

Superb stay and a wonderful place to stay absolutely perfect and the fudge on arrival was sublime Thank you

We had a lovely stay in Kirkmichael. The flat was very well equipped and more spacious than we expected. The village is very peaceful and a great base for exploring the national park.

Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt bei Laura. Das Cottage ist etwas abgelegen, aber Dank Lauras guter Beschreibung haben wir es sofort gefunden. Laura hat uns sehr nett begrüßt. Es war kein Problem, dass wir erst am späteren Abend angekommen sind. Das Cottage war sauber und gemütlich. Es war alles vorhanden, was wir brauchten. So haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

We stayed at James and Jessica’s bothy for 4 nights. Wished we could have booked a (much) longer stay. Everything so perfect, beautiful and thoughtful decorated and also the attentive small gifts upon arrival. Drinks, cookies, sweeties (all local/Scottish). Not to forget the stunning surroundings/nature and the friendly owners of this little gem. 6 stars!

Second time staying at Hilary's cottage, had 12 days this time as a week just wasnt enough for us before. Hilary was friendly and extremely helpful as they have been previously. Great knowledge of the area, house and gardens gorgeous as ever. Coming from living near a city its such a relaxed and enjoyable pace of life. Definitely recommend to anyone contemplating booking. Hope to visit again soon.

A stay at the Queen’s Hut is a magical experience. Having your own secluded lochside setting, amongst a beautiful pine forest is very special. The interior of the hut has been thoughtfully decorated. The hut is a short walk into Aboyne that had a nice pub and good amenities. We loved every minute of our stay.

This was the perfect, unique, location to home base from for visiting Inverness, the Lochness Experience, and Urquhart castle, as well as our highland cow lunch! The host was extremely generous in leaving a small presentation of locally sourced treats to munch on during our stay. We even saw a deer bounding on the property. Wish we had more time here.

Insgesamt sehr gute Unterkunft mit vielen Attraktionen in der weiteren Umgebung. Insbesondere der Ausblick auf das Meer war toll!

Peter is een ontzettend vriendelijke en fijne host. Hij reageert snel en heeft goede tips voor de omgeving. In het huisje voel je je direct thuis. Alles wat je nodig hebt is aanwezig en er is zelfs een wasmachine. De omheinde tuin is een paradijs voor een hond en je kan mooi wandelen in de omgeving. Echt een hele fijne plek om tot rust te komen. Peter heeft zelf ook een hele lieve hond die zachtaardig was voor onze pup wat echt geholpen heeft met de socialisatie. Als we nog eens naar Schotland gaan komen we hier zeker terug.
