Cottage holiday rentals in Banff

Second time we have stayed here, will make it a third sometime in the future. Great cottage and location

Simpathetically converted malt house in a peaceful setting. Good sized house with absolutely brilliant garden that had plenty space for the dogs to run around. Comfy beds with fresh linen, towels, robes and slippers. Well stocked kitchen with thoughtful welcome gift. Cozy lounge with plenty logs for the burner. Great little study space for those that still have to do a bit of work. Hot tub clean with non-slip rubber mats around it. Unfortunately, more careful attention needed from cleaning team in places, which was disappointing - for the money, perfection expected. Warning for fellow townies - go less than walking pace along the track to prevent the underside of your car getting scraped, unless you drive a land rover. Also, the bins are located at the end of the road, so stinky rubbish needs to go in the car - too far to carry it. We're not precious about our car but our son flatly refused to take it in his new car!

The best Airbnb we have ever stayed in. Beautiful location, cozy, relaxing and peaceful. Property had everything we needed. Stunning views from the Hot Tub. Host recommend booking a meal at local hotel and it was fantastic. Would highly recommend Brae Cottage.

The place is in a stunning location and host very helpfuo and that good we Re staying another week . David

Such a beautiful little get away with so many little hidden gems nearby! Was quiet 24/7 and we loved the peace and the amount of sun the garden and hot tub got. Such a cosy cottage and made us feel at home straight away, worth the drive! Thank you for a lovely stay ❤️

We stayed here for a week with our grown children and their partners. Alasdair's cottage was perfect. It immediately felt cosy and comfortable. The games barn was a fun addition, and a great place to store our bikes when not in use. We got the hot tub going and once up to temperature it was easy enough to keep it ticking over for several evenings. The kitchen was well appointed, enough utensils, crockery and pans for us to cook each night. The cottage is next to open fields and farm land with quiet roads that lead to Cublin Forest. This was an amazing place to explore on foot and on bike, especially the peninsula that runs along the Findhorn Estuary and into the sea. Deserted beach and inquisitive seals. We also drove about an hour north to do some hiking at Glenmore in the Cairngorms. After our busy days adventuring it was always great to return to the cottage to relax and sleep soundly in the super size comfortable beds.

We had the most wonderful stay in Butlers cottage. The attention to detail and interior was incredibly thought out, we have never stayed in such a beautiful cottage. The fires were lit upon our arrival and ross was there to welcome us in and show us around. He was genuinely one of the nicest hosts we have met, you can tell he’s passionate about what he does by how incredibly presented everything was. The garden and grounds were stunning, plenty of routes to walk the dog and plenty of places to sit and take in the surroundings. The cottage is tucked away, very nice and private yet still easy to get to and close to the little shop! which we loved. We bought the homemade rolls kit and they were to die for, easy to make and ended up with loads of them to take home. We will without a doubt be back again soon, we didn’t want to leave!!!

This place saved our holiday! We were camping in the Cairngorms and ended up with a catastrophic failure of our tent on the second night. Booked this beautiful cottage at 3:30am and checked in just over 12 hours later! Communication from Laura was fab, and she was always on hand with any queries we had. Delightful little cottage, and the bonus of a hot-tub and sauna made for a very different holiday than we had planned in a soggy tent. Would highly recommend, and would certainly look to go back if we stay in this part of Scotland again

Lovely cottage! Scenery is fantastic and the house has everything you need. Kids loved the chickens and especially loved the playroom.

We had a wonderful stay at Bluefolds for my Dad's 70th. The view from the property is spectacular and ever changing, and you'd never get bored of that alone! Sue was a wonderful host, very welcoming and proactive. The accommodation has everything you could need for a stay there. Take your walking boots, make sure your pets are treated for ticks (as its on a sheep farm), and have an incredible time :)

The cottage and lcoation are absolutely beautiful; it was perfect for a weekend of walking with my two dogs and relaxing in the evening by the fire. Very quiet and peaceful and the back garden is fantastic. I would definetly come again if I'm back in the area.

We were so happy with our accommodation. It exceeded our expectations. Great location, beautiful views an all round fantastic place. Bea was a great host, very responsive and had left some helpful reviews of things to do and places to go. We loved it 🥰

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was adorable. Graham and Sharon were there for any questions we had and left us some tasty scones for our arrival. We would definitely stay again.

Really lovely and well equipped little cottage in a beautiful area of the world. Very comfortable bed. The dogs loved the enclosed garden. Handy EV charger at the front. Caroline was very responsive. Highly recommended overall.

If you are hesitating about booking here - don’t! The number of repeat bookings tells you all you need to know. A really beautiful cottage on the Moray coast. Kismul is comfortable and well equipped for family holidays as well as being in a great location.

Very comfortable cottage in peaceful location yet only a couple of minutes walk from the main street of Braemar.

Had a wonderful stay here! This is the second time I've stayed at Shellys property and it was as beautiful and clean as the first time. Loved the outdoor space, the views are stunning. Everything was so clean and we love the decor. Thanks again for another unforgettable stay! I even saw orcas for the first time just a minute from the property, unreal!

Kath was a fantastic host one of the best we have experienced. She recommended a fantastic restaurant which we went to on the Friday evening loved it, thank you so much Kath, thank you for being an amazing host. The eggs and jam were very good too, We hopefully see you again Denise , tris and Buddy the dog. x

Great stay, great location, everything we needed. We recommend a walk or two on the Speyside Way, Mash Tun in Aberlou is a great place to refuel, as is the Highlander right across from the cottage. And very nice of Michelle to provide a wee jug of whisky in the cottage

We had a brilliant few days staying at Zerina and Dan's cottage in Whitehills. The cottage was great and very well placed in the village. Zerina and Dan were very responsive to questions and helpful to find things to do locally. I would highly recommend staying at Zerina and Dan's cottage.

A beautiful place to retreat to. My wife and I felt very much "at home" in the Garden Bothy and our old greyhound thoroughly enjoyed exploring the grounds. Exceptionally clean with everything needed for a week away and the welcoming basket with the individual shortbread biscuits was much appreciated. No guarantees but we did see a cheeky red squirrel a mystery Highland Coo.

Sandend is one of my favourite places on earth. Ian's cottage is perfectly situated near the harbour. Its uncluttered and has modern appliances. It feels immensely comfortable. I will come back as often as possible. 😊

Peppermill Cottage is a real gem of a find. Whitehills and the surrounding local villages are absolutely gorgeous. Add to this miles upon miles of coastline and countryside right on the doorstep and you're in for a treat. The cottage itself is well equipped and was squeaky clean for our arrival. We loved the sunny ourdoor space for lazy mornings with a coffee before heading out. Alison was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Couldn't ask for more!

This is an outstanding place for kids and furry friends. Sue and Jim could not have been more helpful or welcoming - the cottage is pristine, cosy and with all you need no matter the weather. The grounds are stunning; affording you real privacy and lots to explore and do from climbing trees to den making, and all whilst surrounded by nature. You are only 10 mins from Inverurie which has plenty of shops to meet your needs. A trip to the Old Post Office for brilliant cakes, Castle Fraser and Kemnay are worth a visit as is the Pit Stop for a great fry up and the Gordon Highlanders museum is perfect for a raining day. Easily the most pet friendly place we have ever stayed.
