The surroundings were beautiful and perfect for walking trails. The town had everything I needed and the atmosphere was easy-going. I highly recommend this place for a relaxing getaway.

Great location with easy access to local shops and restaurants. Enjoyed exploring the beautiful surroundings and going on local walks.

Lack of parking near the property was inconvenient. Sofa bed in the dining room was not ideal for comfort.

loved our stay in ballater and riverside cottage exceeded expectations. homely atmosphere, comfortable beds, and a cozy snug with a log burner. swedish hot tub was a great bonus! welcome pack was a nice touch. will definitely be back.

Breakfast eateries open late, plan accordingly.

Our stay at Riverside Cottage was absolutely wonderful. The cottage itself was cosy and clean, providing a homely atmosphere for our getaway. We particularly loved the fully enclosed garden, perfect for our pets and small children. The hot tub was a highlight, easy to light and incredibly relaxing. The hosts, especially Keira, were extremely helpful and ensured our communication was seamless. We truly enjoyed our time here and will definitely be returning.

Drawbacks: Just a small inconvenience worth mentioning is that the breakfast eateries in the town don't open until 10 am, which can be a bit of a delay if you're planning an early start for your day. However, with some careful planning, this can easily be overcome.

The room was cozy and comfortable, with the bonus of a log burner in the living room. The location in the beautiful town with unique shops and eateries was perfect. The staff treated us well, even going above and beyond when we forgot some of our things after checkout.
