An enjoyable stay at Ballathie. A well situated cottage which is well equipped and had everything we required for our holiday. Newtonmore is situated in a beautiful part of Scotland with many walks ( long and short ) available on your doorstep. Ballathie made a comfortable base to enjoy these walks from.

Stayed in June 2021 and had a great time. Cottage was very clean and had everything we needed. Enclosed garden to the rear was ideal Location is great as only 5mins walk from nearest pub and there is a supermarket another 5mins away. 20min drive from Aviemore where there are so many activities to see and do. There is also a scenic 8 mile circular wRead morealk that starts very near the cottage which was a bonus Overall fantastic holiday and will definitely be back to the Cairngorms Hide

Really enjoyed our stay at Ballathie, great location for activities and days out. Cottage a little dated but was largely clean. Some kitchen equipment needs a good clean and updating. Garden a good size although littered with bits of dog muck from previous guests which isnt great when you have young kids wanting to play.

The cottage was very comfortable but the real charm was the spacious garden and leafy surroundings. You can sit and watch squirrels, rabbits and many types of birds in the native trees.
