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.

We loved Bertie’s
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.
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!

Great place to stay to access the Cairngorms
Comfortable cottage with everything you might want including a place to lock up your bicycles. Great to sit outside on the deck in the sun and enjoy a cup of tea after a day of walking or cycling. Good location to get into the Cairngorms with all the amenities of Ballater on the doorstep.

Fantastic property in an ideal location. Walking distance to all amenities. Bedrooms great size, ample living facilities everything you possibly needed in the kitchen with lovely dining room attached. Although not the time of year to use the decking, in the summer it would be superb! We had a great time & will certainly use this property again & recommend to friends & family.

Beautiful cottage, tastefully decorated, real homely feel and very comfortable for our family of 5.
Thank you so much Catriona for letting us stay in your beautiful cottage. It was very spacious and comfortable for our family of 5, the beds are really comfy, the linen crisp and fresh. The log burner is so cosy, lovely end to a day walking miles snuggling in the lounge with the fire on!
Upon our arrival, Catriona had kindly left some milk in the fridge and a loaf of bread out for us - very much appreciated after a long journey there. Little personal touches like this made for a great host, you have really thought of everything!
Ballater is a beautiful area, with lots to see and do right on your doorstep. We enjoyed the local walks and sights, a great base with lots of lovely cafes and places to eat. The co-op is handy and just up the road from the cottage.
We have had a fantastic week and hope to return one day.

Fantastic Festive Furlough!
We have recently returned from an excellent trip to Ballater to celebrate the start of 2019. This was not our first visit to Bertie Cottage, so we knew what to expect, but were pleasantly surprised by the festive decorations and additional finishing touches added by Catriona and Kevin since our last trip. Well located within the village and very comfortable, Bertie Cottage provides visitors a real home from home and, for us, the welcome sight of the glowing wood burning stove adds to that rural living feeling on a cold winter’s night.
This well-appointed, clean and cosy country cottage makes for an extremely pleasurable visit to our favourite Aberdeenshire village.

Comfortable and cosy cottage
We had an excellent week in Bertie cottage at end of October. While the weather was cold outside, the cottage was cosy and comfortable inside. The cottage is well situated in Ballater, with great scenery and plentiful walks on your doorstep. Thank you to Catriona and Kevin for being such great and thoughtful hosts.

Bertie Cottage is a real gem. Ideal for our family of five with all home comforts provided. We have recently had the pleasure of an autumnal week-end break in Ballater where the weather outside was crisp and chilly but the cottage lovely and cozy; a welcome sight after a day outside enjoying country pursuits. Catriona and Kevin have put a lot of effort into making sure that their guests have all the facilities and information required for a first class self catering holiday - thank you. Highly recommended.
