Glenernan's one bedroom cottages, Glenernan Cottage and Glenernan Bothy are available for weekly holiday lets and also for short breaks, and make an ideal place from which to explore Royal Deeside, the Caringorms National Park and further afield.

Many local walking, hiking and cycling trails and river fishing are easily accessible from Glenernan's holiday accommodation, as are the Malt Whisky Trail, Scotland's Castle Trail and the Victorian Heritage trail. With Glenshee and the Lecht ski resorts nearby, Ballater is also an ideal base for winter sports fans.
As part of a long held tradition, the Ballater Highland Games are held annually on the second Thursday in August in Monaltrie Park, Ballater. There have been Games held in Ballater since 1864 and, apart from the war years, the Games have continued uninterrupted until the present day.

A lovely little cottage. The owners are friendly, helpful people. Very easy to work with but never intrusive.The cottage is spotlessly clean with a comfy bed and everything you could need without being cluttered with stuff you don’t need! We particularly liked the private little patio.

We had a very enjoyable week's holiday in September in this one-bedroom cottage full of character. The river Dee and all the shops and restaurants in Ballater were a short walk away. An easy drive to some wonderful places such as Loch Muick and Burn O'Vat. As I understand, this is one of two small family-run cottages and the back of the owners' house. The owners are a helpful, friendly and polite couple.

One weeks annual holiday. Ballater is a great place for a short break. Plenty of great eating place. Great local works and an ideal base for the many Munros in the surrounding area.

The cottage was ideal for us . Everything we needed for a self catering holiday. The wet room was ideal for my husband who has mobility issues and the little patio gave us outside space. Great comfy beds and everything spotlessly clean
This is the second time we have stayed here and we are looking forward to coming back for a third soon

A lovely weekend away from the city, after covid cancelled our plans to honeymoon in Paris in spring 2020 we finally settled on a weekend in Ballater in summer 2021. My husband and I were hoping for comfort, quiet, access to open spaces and castles and that's what we got. Two nights in the lovely bothy, visiting Balmoral and taking long walks. We cooked in the accommodation one night and ate locally the next. It was perfect.

Just. Like home
Clean.tidy cottage , all you find is just as described. For a married couple it was perfect, though not suitable for children, but then Ballater itself is not a place for teenagers.
