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.

The cottage was well situated, an easy walk into Newtonmore. The details and photographs are an accurate reflection of what is provided. The bed was very comfortable and there were good blackout curtains. The lounge was a pleasant place to relax and watch the birds on the feeder. The kitchen was well equipped, with plenty of crockery and cutlery toRead more sustain the dishwasher. It could be a little cramped if cottage was fully occupied and all at kitchen table. Hide
