Cottage holiday rentals in Grampian Mountains

Fantastic stay in a beautiful location- everything as described and an incredible view! Will definitely return

Our stay lived up to high expectations. Ainslie went over and above with decorations for my boyfriend’s birthday; welcome notes; homemade cake; fizz and ice in the fridge. She was warm and welcoming, and we felt completely relaxed. So grateful for such a lovely stay in a beautiful area. We will definitely be back! Thank you Ainslie 🥰🤩🥳

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars! Excellent home in a really peaceful beautiful location. It was easy to find and no issues entering the property. Stunning old house which clearly has a lot of history. The home was well presented and we found it comfortable. All the instructions were clear. The hot tub was excellent and the kids loved it. So peaceful at night. Only a 10 min drive into Alyth where there is a couple of shops, but many many lovely walks about ideal for dogs. The wifi was a bit hit and miss we struggled watching tv as it kept freezing with no signal. However given the rural location this is excepted and didn’t bother us too much. AGA cooker was great a real experience and I’m sure in the winter it’s beautiful and warm. Overall we would recommend the property, my only room for improvement would be looking into the WiFi and potentially adding a better dining table and chairs outside. It would have been lovely to dine outside on some more comfort chairs and better seating. Still 5 stars!

Our stay at the cottage was lovely. Ashley was quick to respond when we were having trouble with the WIFI . It was so peaceful and managed to spot a dear as we arrived. Would highly recommend. Colin, Michael &Lina.

This garden cottage was straight out of a romantic fairytale! The gorgeous garden surrounding the cottage and the view of the water and misty rolling hills framed perfectly by a stone wall and ivy were just breathtaking (especially while sitting in the wood fire heated hot tub). The cottage itself was incredibly cozy. We had nearly gotten stranded on Islay with car issues and we weren’t even sure we’d get to enjoy this stop on our holiday. By the time we arrived, we were completely exhausted from the chaos of the previous 24 hours so this relaxing and welcoming space was exactly what we needed to decompress. ☺️ The cottage was well equipped and very clean! We had everything we needed and then some. Caroline was an exceptional host. She was remarkably responsive and lovely to interact with both prior to our stay (when we weren’t sure we’d be able to make it) and during our stay! Anyone with the opportunity to stay here, should absolutely do it! Thank you for everything, Caroline!!

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

Was very happy with our stay here, The evening with the hot tub was lovely and private, everything was clean and well presented. There was games left in the house for our use and we got use of these. The instructions before arriving to find location was helpful although the postcode in Apple Maps did take us straight the correct location which was great. Overall we were very pleased with the whole experience and would stay again. The added bonus was the hosts had a new puppy and we got to meet this beautiful fur baby on checkout.

We had a wonderful stay with my family at this historic cottage. Especially loved the easy access to the Fife Coastal Path that we walked daily into Burntisland or Aberdour. Excellent hosts as well. Thank you for your hospitality, we would highly recommend this property!

We stayed for 4 nights and highly recommend. The cottage is clean, cosy and comfortable and is kitted out with everything you’d need. It’s well placed for trips to Aviemore and Kingussie, we visited Loch Morlich and Loch Ness to name a few. Really brilliant decor throughout and the hosts have paid a lot of attention to detail. The bed is really comfy too. We were lucky enough to see a woodpecker among other birds at the feeder outside the window, as well as a red squirrel which we loved! We also had our dog with us and he enjoyed walking and sniffing nearby the cottage. Unfortunately we had quite a bit of rain during our stay but even that didn’t seem so bad because the sound of the rain on the roof somehow made us feel even more cosy. Absolutely can’t fault this beautiful cottage and would definitely recommend to anyone considering.

Ewan & Claire’s place was just the place we wanted to spend our night in the mountain area with natural beauty surroundings. My child played with sheep and hen, he even got to pick fresh eggs laid out by chicken 🐣. The place itself was in pristine condition. We had a great night of rest.

I used Louise's place as my last Airbnb on a hiking tour I did of the Highlands and I felt so lucky to have done so. The bed was the most comfortable I slept in for 3 weeks and the whole space was so quiet. I was very grateful I chose to stay in Boat of Garten and not in Aviemore (way too busy). Louise was also exceptionally kind and friendly. Also, having a full kitchen with washing machine for clothes was a great way to "return to civilization" after all my hiking. I would be very pleased to stay here again.

We had a relaxing and restful couple of days at John and Dora's...just what was needed after a hectic month of travel. John was most welcoming and helpful and the biscuits were delicious. The accommodation was very comfortable and we loved sitting in the lounge with the warm sun shining in on us. We ate at the local pub and had a ferry ride to Gourock...most enjoyable. We had some trouble finding Oakdene but that was NOT due to the excellent instructions, but because of roadworks. A very helpful local pointed us in the right direction. If you want to experience a piece of paradise this is the place for you.

If you need peace and quiet, this is the place for you. It was a perfect location to just absorb nature. The picture windows allowed us to gaze at the loch to our heart's content. We didn't miss having a tv and the kitchen was extremely well stocked. Many hike were within easy access of the home and we made the most of it. It is very cozy and easy to feel at home.

Very beautiful place to stay! The kitchen gave us inspiration for our own home and the bathroom was lovely. All around a very pretty home. Annie was very responsive and gave us some helpful suggestions on what to do during our stay. Also, if you like cows you may get to see a large herd of them right behind the rental! There’s a large sloped field that rises up behind the house and we enjoyed watching the cows come and go during our stay.

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

The Coach House is within a short walk to the town centre. Set in beautiful garden surrounds it is very private, quiet and peaceful. We sat out on the decking listening to the birds both morning and evening- it's really well situated for local walks and also further travel north or south. All in all we loved our stay.

We had a fabulous holiday and Anna's cottage was perfect, the scenery is stunning. The cottage overlooks the mountains and we caught a glimpse of the local wildlife. The cottage is central for many activities around the Glen Coe area. Thank you Anna for a wonderful stay.

Had a very quiet and relaxing stay! The cottage was super lovely and would highly recommend it to anyone! Would definitely stay there again! Kelly was a great host!

Absolutely beautiful place and surroundings. Responsive host, quite well thought out basic needs to stay at cottage. Definitely on our favourite lists to visit again.

This was a lovely peaceful cottage beautifully equipped with everything you need. Welcoming hosts clean and tidy in a lovely location with a view to die for. We enjoyed every minute of our stay and wish we could have stayed longer

Megan and Sean’s place is beautiful—thoughtfully designed, well equipped, and tastefully decorated. It was perfect for our family of five (two adults and three children). Megan went above and beyond, even baking a cake and bringing fresh flowers from her garden to welcome us. The house is full of charming details and has been expertly renovated, blending the character of the old building with modern comforts. We especially appreciated the thoughtful extras for families—there were toys and board games that kept the kids happily entertained. There was also a wealth of local resources—books, maps, and guides—to help us explore the region. Firewood was provided for the fireplace, and the BBQ was ready to go with a full gas tank. It’s a wonderful place to relax—we’ll definitely be back.

The Bothy is a super space, it has everything you need in a simple layout, with space to relax inside and beautiful surroundings outside. If you want peace and quiet and somewhere to clear your head it is perfect. The access to loch, wood and hill walks is on your doorstep and if you want to take on the challenge on some Munros they are easily accessible too, which worked really well for me. I had a great stay - it could not have been better.

This cottage is one of a kind. What a beautiful and authentic Scottish home and surroundings. Yvonne was very responsive when we needed her. Incredible stay!

Fairygreen Cottage was the last stop on our holiday trip and it couldn't have been better! From the first step into the house until the very last minute, we absolutely enjoyed our stay there. The cottage is lovingly furnished, equipped with everything one needs and shows a high standard in quality. We felt very welcomed and comfortable and wish to come back!
