The property was gorgeous, you can see the stars at night and there are cows in the field on the other side of the house. Very very beautiful and wish we were there longer.

Lovely historic cottage - clean, spacious, well appointed and decorated with some period furniture. It was our favorite of all of our accommodations over our 2 weeks in Scotland. It was quiet and peaceful and the setting was idyllic. We loved the walking paths amongst gorgeous trees with views of the countryside. We also loved that we had views of the castle from our windows.

This was a cozy tiny home! Conveniently located walking distance to all dining and shops in the area. The cabin itself was quite small for we larger bodied souls, but we made do. The water pressure was the best we’ve had on our trip!

    Dormie Cottage is a charming wee Bungalow in an enclosed garden on a very quiet street on the edge of Ballater. It sleeps a family of 4-5, and we were extremely comfortable the 3 days we spent in the town!

    Beautiful cottage, well positioned very cosy and extremely well equipped. Had everything you needed (ie dishwasher tabs, numerous toilet rolls, washing up liquid etc etc) so really only had to turn up with clothes. Beds were lovely and comfortable and lovely bedding. Beautiful, very well equipped kitchen with great bath and shower. Great bonus of hot tub. Couldn't fault a thing - highly recommended - you will not be disappointed.

    Really cosy cottage and really handy to the town centre. Fully enclosed garden so really good for pets and small children. No parking outside the property but this isn’t an issue as lots of on street parking less than a minute walk away. Hot tub outside was amazing and very easy to light. Great communication from the hosts especially Keira who was extremely helpful. Thankyou for a great stay- we will be back.
