About this cottage rental

Bertie Cottage can comfortably sleep six people. The cottage is surprisingly spacious and is tastefully decorated to a high standard, with modern furnishings with hints of tartan and Harris Tweed.
There are two good-sized upstairs bedrooms, one king-size and one double bed each with a lovely view to Craig Choillich Hill to the south of Ballater. Downstairs there is a large twin-bedded room which has it's own en-suite shower room. Each bedroom has a wardrobe and plenty of storage space. There is a hairdryer and all linen and towels are provided.
Downstairs there is a cosy lounge with two comfortable sofas, a "favourite armchair" and a large footstool with plenty of cushions for your comfort. The woodburning stove is perfect to nestle up to after a day outdoors. There is a Smart TV, DVD player with a selection of DVDs, Blaupunkt bluetooth speaker and games and puzzles for all ages.
From the lounge you enter a bright well-equipped kitchen with views to the garden and Craigendarroch Hill beyond. There is a fridge-freezer, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave and Nespresso coffee machine.
The separate dining room is the perfect room to sit and enjoy a leisurely breakfast with views to Craigendarrioch Hill or to relax over an evening meal and plan the next days activities.
The dining room opens out onto a large enclosed deck with a seating area and a separate BBQ area, perfect for outdoor dining. Behind the decking there is some grass with a washing line and further planting. The garden is a fabulous suntrap, the sun can be enjoyed from early morning to the last rays in the evening. There is access to a large lockable shed - perfect for guests to store bikes or golf clubs etc.

Our stay at Bertie Cottage could hardly have been better. We love Ballater, especially the Golf Road area, and this property was first class: comfortable, clean and nicely situated. Would go there again in a flash. The heating worked without my really understanding it, as did the TV. Loved it.

Thank you so much for allowing us to spend the week at Bertie’s. We had hoped for some skiing but alas the slopes weren’t open, however the area is so fabulous we had a brilliant time anyway, lots of walking in the surrounding mountains and lochs. Ballater is a lovely village friendly people and some great shops especially for food , everything you need. The cottage is so comfortable warm and homely and very well equipped, just wished we could stay longer.

Fabulous Cottage.
Fabulous Cottage.
Bertie Cottage is a real gem. Cosy, homely and in a fabulous location, being handy for everything and yet peaceful and quiet. On arrival, there was a lovely loaf of local bakery bread waiting for us, along with teabags, coffee, sugar and a dish of chocolates. Such a thoughtful touch - thank you Catriona. The cottage itself was immaculately clean and tastefully decorated and really felt like a home from home. The log burning stove was lovely to come back to after a day of hiking and there was a good supply of logs and kindling ready for us. We all slept well, thanks to the very comfortable beds and made full use of the corner bath - especially after climbing Lochnagar! Our dog loved his holiday and enjoyed playing in the garden, which was safe and secure and on a sunny day, was a lovely little sun trap. A wonderful holiday and we hope to visit again!

Loved Bertie Cottage.... beautiful cottage, well equipped, in a very central location with easy parking and a shed for bikes. The garden was a real sun trap and much bigger than it looks in the pictures! Despite being so close to the village square it was very quiet. Definetly one to come back to!
