Absolutely beautiful house in a wonderful surrounding.

This is a lovely property. The bedding was first-rate and the kitchen and bathrooms worked perfectly. It is about one mile from a lovely small town, Ballater, and only a 15 minute drive from Balmoral which exceeded expectations. There is also so much loving additional hiking around the area. Couldn't recommend this home enough.

What a wonderful stay we had. Perfect location. Beautiful walks from the front door. The cottage had everything we needed. We were sorry to leave.

Just wow! Secluded location within 3 mins drive of the centre of Ballater. One, if not the best place we have stayed at. The Host was really helpful and was able to accommodate an additional night when we were snowed in. The house was floor heated down stairs with an open fireplace in the seperate lounge with no shortage of wood. Heating was also great upstairs and the beds were the best we have slept on in our 3 weeks of travel so far in the UK. The Host has thought of everything, but for the coffee lovers out there, there is no coffee machine. The ‘Magical Cottage’ name pretty much sums up the place. We were fortunate to be there when it snowed, picture postcard stuff. Ballater itself was gorgeous, and we loved the Balmoral Bar as the staff and patrons were all so engaging, so too were the pooches that also frequented the Bar. The is a COOP supermarket within 50m of the Balmoral. We have some great memories to take home to Australia!
