Cottage holiday rentals in Balintore

The Lodge more than met our needs as a base to explore the northern highlands. The many creature comforts helped to make us feel truly at home. The weather was so kind for the time of year allowing us to make full use of the hottub at the end of long days exploring. Our children couldn't get up early enough to "help" feed the neighbouring Highland Coos. We can't wait to come back next year to see how much they have grown.

What an amazing place to stay. It ticked all the boxes for a great weekend getaway. It had everything we needed. Plenty of natural beauty and wildlife, it was peaceful and relaxing. Rob was a great host, there is everything you could ever need from an Airbnb. Simply brilliant.

Wonderful cottage, roomy, peaceful, and squeaky clean. Beautiful location too - highly recommended.

Beautiful cottage, with absolutely everything you need. Comfy and spotlessly clean. The garden is lovely to look out on from the conservatory when eating. Hot tub in the pretty garden was lovely day or night. Eva was a great host, providing lots of info on checking in etc. The location is really perfect as well, 2 mins walk to the beach, about 30 along the beach to Chanory point, lovely fairy glen walk along burn to beautiful waterfalls. Beach cafe 2mins away and cafe/restaurant Crofters (which you can sit in our takeaway) less than 10. 2 Playparks within a few mins walk as well. Highly recommend and we will definitely be back!

We stayed here for a week with our grown children and their partners. Alasdair's cottage was perfect. It immediately felt cosy and comfortable. The games barn was a fun addition, and a great place to store our bikes when not in use. We got the hot tub going and once up to temperature it was easy enough to keep it ticking over for several evenings. The kitchen was well appointed, enough utensils, crockery and pans for us to cook each night. The cottage is next to open fields and farm land with quiet roads that lead to Cublin Forest. This was an amazing place to explore on foot and on bike, especially the peninsula that runs along the Findhorn Estuary and into the sea. Deserted beach and inquisitive seals. We also drove about an hour north to do some hiking at Glenmore in the Cairngorms. After our busy days adventuring it was always great to return to the cottage to relax and sleep soundly in the super size comfortable beds.

My husband and I and our 20 year old daughter had a wonderful stay at Butler Cottage. The estate grounds are amazing with a mix of woodland and farm fields scattered over the hills. We enjoyed daily walks done and along the river. If your animal lovers like we are it was extra special. The Highland cows and sheep add beauty to the scenery, but the deer, hares, pheasants and other birds of prey really add the wow factor. The cottage is full of charm with an old world feel. It’s been very smartly renovated and decorated and is in great condition. We loved the farmhouse style kitchen which is open to a comfortable living room with high ceilings. The built in beds are beautifully done and although on the small side we enjoyed the authentic touch. The wood stoves on each end of the cottage work well to add extra warmth in the evenings. Ross was a gracious host. The place was with fresh flowers and a basket of fresh goods from the farm. He even had the fire started for the hot tub.

Jackie and Stevie were the perfect hosts. Tranquil Cottage was beautiful, had more than expected, fully equipped kitchen and bathroom and washing spotless. Set just 30 seconds from the harbour and local pub. Couldn't fault the place or Jackie as a host. We will definitely be back

We had a lovely holiday in Boat of Garten with our kids (7 and 2). The cottage was perfect for our needs - plenty of space for the four of us, but still cosy, and within easy reach of everything the areas offers. We actually didn't end up using the garden much as we were out and about a lot but it's gorgeous and opens right onto the woods behind which was very magical for two city kids. Anderson's restaurant right next door was a bit of a bonus, too, since we could have dinner with the kids and then be home in 30 seconds! The sauna was a fabulous suprise (they hadn't installed it when we booked so we only found out on arrival) and we enjoyed using that after long days walking and carrying our toddler on our shoulders! Laura was super friendly and responsive, including posting my car key back to me after I stupidly left it in the bedside drawer. All in all, a great experience, and would thoroughly Laura's place, particularly to families.

A beautiful and relaxing home to have a perfect break. The host, Maureen has created one of the best Airbnb's we have ever used. Great communication and easy access. The home is high end furnished, comfortable and in a peaceful location. The garden was perfect to relax after long walks. The enclosed space perfect for our dog. Nice touch having tea, coffee and sugar on arrival. Aviemore centre was a 10 minute walk away and short drive to Rothiemurchus leading to a wonderful forest walk to Loch an Eilein. Just further along the road is Loch Morlich. Stunning in the sunshine with marked walking trails around the area. We will definitely use again and recommend to anyone looking to stay in the Aviemore area.

Loved this fisherman’s cottage. Bigger than I had anticipated and a real home from home with everything you might need provided. Comfy beds! Appreciated the enclosed back garden for my two dogs to get a quick toilet break, although the beach across the road meant most times we wanted to head there again and enjoy the amazing beach views! Brett was very helpful and always communicated quickly. This trip was too short - we will be back! So much to see and do in the surrounding area.

Fantastic holiday in Jeana’s cosy cottage. We enjoyed our holiday immensely. We absolutely love the area, and the cottage was perfect for our needs: private, cosy, comfortable with lots of room outside. The owners were warm and friendly and helpful. Very nice people. We’d happily visit again.

Fantastic base - Aviemore - Green Loch - Loch an Eileen - and the cottage so cosey! defo recommend! Thank you!

Absolutely lovely cottage. Judi was extremely helpful and responded so quickly. Absolutely amazing shower and the location is gorgeous!

Gorgeous well located cottage, opposite the Lochness hub (info centre) & bang in the middle of the village next to the green. Kate is a lovely responsive host, who adds a personal touch. It was the first time a host left dog treats, tennis ball, blankets & bowls for our dog too, which was so lovely. The cottage is well equipped, charming, with lovely decor. Garden to right is an absolute sun-trap, we could sit out in T-shirts in April with a beer. We spent most of our days hiking 13k+, first we did from the cottage, second drove to Glen Affric. We had a beautiful take out from the Chinese & brought back pizza from the Italian. The Fiddler’s won’t allow dogs in, you must sit outside so we only did lunch there, but one night we had a lovely meal (booked ahead) at the Lockness inn 15 min walk away. If we’d been back from hiking sooner the cafe on the green would have been a good option too, it serves beer & has a nice garden. You won’t regret booking this gem, Thanks Kate :)

what a beautiful & restful place- we just loved staying at the cottage & had a totally glorious week- will most definitely be back!

Thank you Debbie for having us at your beautiful cottage and being a brilliant host. Everything had been considered, even biscuits for our dogs! A great cottage, with peaceful surroundings and a great secure garden!

The location was walkable to local shops and restaurants and hiking trails. Harbor and beach was a stones throw away. Very clean and cozy. The beds were so comfy with high quality bed linens. Enjoyed our stay.

Ann-Marie's Cosy Cottage was a excellent base for exploring the Cairngorms region. The cottage was clean, warm and comfortable and very peaceful. We enjoyed a lovely meal at the Jacobite Bar and Grill in Kingussie (thanks to Ann-Marie's recommendation). We recommend Cool Cosy cottage in the Highlands.

We had a fantastic few days at Nanas Cottage. David and Louise have provided everything you would want for a visit to Findhorn. The cottage was super clean with all mod cons, nothing lacking. Shop and bakery very handy a stones throw away. Would highly recommend at stay here. We were fortunate to have amazing weather too! Thank you.

We had a truly memorable and relaxing stay at Old Mains Cottage — everything was perfect, and we really appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout. The scenery and peaceful surroundings were exactly what we needed, and we thoroughly enjoyed exploring the area.

Fantastic stay at Coulview Cottage. Felt like home from home. Love the area and the beach was beautiful. Amenities as described and more - very well equipped.

We enjoyed every moment of the stay, what a great way to wake up and watch the squirrels feed and play. The unit is everything we expected.

This is a great place to stay in NC500 route. We had made best memories in this house. Comfort and cozy beds. Calm and serene environment. Kitchen is well equipped Highly recommend

Curated and appointed beautifully it was so comfotable and perfect for our stay. Many thanks to the hosts for such an inspiring experience we will never forget.
