Cottage holiday rentals in Balintore

The Lodge more than met our needs as a base to explore the northern highlands. The many creature comforts helped to make us feel truly at home. The weather was so kind for the time of year allowing us to make full use of the hottub at the end of long days exploring. Our children couldn't get up early enough to "help" feed the neighbouring Highland Coos. We can't wait to come back next year to see how much they have grown.

Beautiful cottage in a wonderful setting. Cosy and comfortable. Thanks again!

Wonderful cottage, roomy, peaceful, and squeaky clean. Beautiful location too - highly recommended.

Beautiful cottage, with absolutely everything you need. Comfy and spotlessly clean. The garden is lovely to look out on from the conservatory when eating. Hot tub in the pretty garden was lovely day or night. Eva was a great host, providing lots of info on checking in etc. The location is really perfect as well, 2 mins walk to the beach, about 30 along the beach to Chanory point, lovely fairy glen walk along burn to beautiful waterfalls. Beach cafe 2mins away and cafe/restaurant Crofters (which you can sit in our takeaway) less than 10. 2 Playparks within a few mins walk as well. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!

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.

My husband and I and our 20 year old daughter had a wonderful stay at Butler Cottage. The estate grounds are amazing with a mix of woodland and farm fields scattered over the hills. We enjoyed daily walks done and along the river. If your animal lovers like we are it was extra special. The Highland cows and sheep add beauty to the scenery, but the deer, hares, pheasants and other birds of prey really add the wow factor. The cottage is full of charm with an old world feel. It’s been very smartly renovated and decorated and is in great condition. We loved the farmhouse style kitchen which is open to a comfortable living room with high ceilings. The built in beds are beautifully done and although on the small side we enjoyed the authentic touch. The wood stoves on each end of the cottage work well to add extra warmth in the evenings. Ross was a gracious host. The place was with fresh flowers and a basket of fresh goods from the farm. He even had the fire started for the hot tub.

Lovely one night stay. The cottage was immaculate. The location was idyllic. The cottage was clean and had everything you'd need. Loved the hot tub.. im sure we'll be back. Thank you 😊

We had a lovely holiday in Boat of Garten with our kids (7 and 2). The cottage was perfect for our needs - plenty of space for the four of us, but still cosy, and within easy reach of everything the areas offers. We actually didn't end up using the garden much as we were out and about a lot but it's gorgeous and opens right onto the woods behind which was very magical for two city kids. Anderson's restaurant right next door was a bit of a bonus, too, since we could have dinner with the kids and then be home in 30 seconds! The sauna was a fabulous suprise (they hadn't installed it when we booked so we only found out on arrival) and we enjoyed using that after long days walking and carrying our toddler on our shoulders! Laura was super friendly and responsive, including posting my car key back to me after I stupidly left it in the bedside drawer. All in all, a great experience, and would thoroughly Laura's place, particularly to families.

A beautiful and relaxing home to have a perfect break. The host, Maureen has created one of the best Airbnb's we have ever used. Great communication and easy access. The home is high end furnished, comfortable and in a peaceful location. The garden was perfect to relax after long walks. The enclosed space perfect for our dog. Nice touch having tea, coffee and sugar on arrival. Aviemore centre was a 10 minute walk away and short drive to Rothiemurchus leading to a wonderful forest walk to Loch an Eilein. Just further along the road is Loch Morlich. Stunning in the sunshine with marked walking trails around the area. We will definitely use again and recommend to anyone looking to stay in the Aviemore area.

Loved this fisherman’s cottage. Bigger than I had anticipated and a real home from home with everything you might need provided. Comfy beds! Appreciated the enclosed back garden for my two dogs to get a quick toilet break, although the beach across the road meant most times we wanted to head there again and enjoy the amazing beach views! Brett was very helpful and always communicated quickly. This trip was too short - we will be back! So much to see and do in the surrounding area.

We absolutely loved our stay at this gorgeous renovated cottage. We loved the decor and feel of the cottage, it was so cosy and comfortable and we loved having the indoor fire. Everything was just perfect. The owners are lovely and helped with everything we needed. Cute towns nearby to explore so it made for a perfect couple of nights on our travels.

We loved coming back to this beautiful cottage- wish we were there for longer, but we know we’ll be back!!

Absolutely lovely cottage. Judi was extremely helpful and responded so quickly. Absolutely amazing shower and the location is gorgeous!

Gorgeous well located cottage, opposite the Lochness hub (info centre) & bang in the middle of the village next to the green. Kate is a lovely responsive host, who adds a personal touch. It was the first time a host left dog treats, tennis ball, blankets & bowls for our dog too, which was so lovely. The cottage is well equipped, charming, with lovely decor. Garden to right is an absolute sun-trap, we could sit out in T-shirts in April with a beer. We spent most of our days hiking 13k+, first we did from the cottage, second drove to Glen Affric. We had a beautiful take out from the Chinese & brought back pizza from the Italian. The Fiddler’s won’t allow dogs in, you must sit outside so we only did lunch there, but one night we had a lovely meal (booked ahead) at the Lockness inn 15 min walk away. If we’d been back from hiking sooner the cafe on the green would have been a good option too, it serves beer & has a nice garden. You won’t regret booking this gem, Thanks Kate :)

what a beautiful & restful place- we just loved staying at the cottage & had a totally glorious week- will most definitely be back!

Thank you Debbie for having us at your beautiful cottage and being a brilliant host. Everything had been considered, even biscuits for our dogs! A great cottage, with peaceful surroundings and a great secure garden!

The location was walkable to local shops and restaurants and hiking trails. Harbor and beach was a stones throw away. Very clean and cozy. The beds were so comfy with high quality bed linens. Enjoyed our stay.

Plain and simple, this was THE best air b’n’b we have ever stayed in. Everything about it. The location and the club and grounds are just beyond stunning. Breathtaking views. Between the back view of the highland club facing Loch Ness to looking over your shoulder to see Loch Ness, just amazing. The cottage itself while not a part of the main building was perfect. All the amenities needed and plenty of space for the four of us. Waking up to the snow on the lawn outside was beautiful. The hamper on arrival was so helpful for our 3 nights there. The board games, fire place and sporting equipment was great. The games room and especially heated pool inside was amazing to relax and look out to the snowy mountains. Honestly, was sad to leave and could have stayed there another week! Worth every cent. Our two kids were in heaven.

Ann-Marie's Cosy Cottage was a excellent base for exploring the Cairngorms region. The cottage was clean, warm and comfortable and very peaceful. We enjoyed a lovely meal at the Jacobite Bar and Grill in Kingussie (thanks to Ann-Marie's recommendation). We recommend Cool Cosy cottage in the Highlands.

We have stayed in Nanas cottage before knew what to expect. We weren't disappointed. It was as clean and comfortable as before. David has obviously gone to a lot of trouble to make it a welcoming place to stay and Findhorn itself is a lovely place to visit.

Had a great stay in such a beautiful spot. What views from the kitchen window. House and garden grounds were great for the two dogs and the grassed enclosure was perfect. Everything we needed including an outside den. Beach minutes walk away. Loved our stay.

Had a very nice time. We had a small problem with our mattress and this was immediately resolved by the host. Super cottage, we would have liked to stay longer. What a nice place! Highly recommended for nature lovers. Thanks again for a great time🫶

35 Findhorn is a great find in a beautiful location and the property is immaculate throughout. It has a real luxury feel to it and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the small, front garden enjoying the sunshine. Thoroughly recommended.

We enjoyed every moment of the stay, what a great way to wake up and watch the squirrels feed and play. The unit is everything we expected.
