Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Ballater

This was an amazing place for us to stay as an extended family. There were nine of us, plus two dogs, and we rented the Doocot and the Lodge in the grounds. It is located right up in the hills and was blissfully remote yet easily accessible to the A90 to Perth and Dundee. The house itself was very comfortable and exactly as described. The sitting room was amazing with its enormously high ceilings, plenty of squishy sofas and a piano. There was also a Smart TV. For us, the best feature was the enormous dining table which easily seated us all and could have taken several other people too. We had lovely meals together all round the table. It was really memorable. The bathrooms were clean and new. The roll top bath was lovely and super to soak in. Check in, host communications etc were all super easy and they even helped us to have a hot tub ready for our arrival from Fife Hot Tub Hire. All in all, would highly recommend to people looking for a comfortable break away in the hills.

This is a good base for exploring the Trossachs. The house is comfortable, with a well equipped kitchen and spacious accommodation (we were there as three couples). Although it’s on the main road through town, it was very quiet at night. Aaron is a friendly and helpful host and we had a great time here.

Lovely cottage, close to the beach and the town. The cottage was spotlessly clean and incredibly well provisioned. We felt immediately at home and were very comfortable during our stay. Thank you

Our third visit and it won’t be our last. We love the location and the cottage is so cosy. It’s quickly become our favourite getaway and this was a January holiday rather than a summer one and it’s just as magical!

Great stay at The Squirrels. No hassles checking in and place was very clean

Sandy’s place was located perfectly! It was a quick easy walk to the city center where there were plenty of restaurants and shops. It was also walkable to the bus tours. The place was clean well outfitted and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

We were in town for 3 days. It was a comfy and cozy space. The water pressure in the shower was amazing. Close to sight seeing places. Would definitely stay again.

There are no words to describe how lovely the house is. The views are stunning and to wake up every morning and sitting up in bed and see nothing but ocean is so peaceful, beautiful and calming. Everything you need in the house and more. Very clean and tidy. This is my second year there and will now become part of my yearly trips away. I cannot praise Loren enough. Highly recommended, I would give it 10 stars 🌟

Lovely stay at Sam’s beautiful apartment! 4 adults and a dog and it still felt spacious and comfortable! The flat is beautifully decorated, with everything you could need, and having the private garden to sit out and enjoy the sunshine was lovely. Really couldn’t recommend Sam’s apartment more, perfect location for walking to Pittenweem harbour/centre and a short drive to other beautiful spots along the coast. We will definitely be back!

This was a phenomenal stay in Inverness. Walkable to all downtown restaurants shops and Ness Island walking trails and parks. Shirt druves to Loch Ness and surrounding tourist attractions. The place was beautiful right down to the fixtures and finishing touches. The hosts went out of their way to help me with a travelling problem I encountered, which they really did not have to do. I am so appreciative and grateful for my stay here!

Great place in a great city! We loved it here! Wonderful location, we were able to walk all over and find tons of things to do. Would absolutely stay here again next visit to Inverness.

Lovely flat in central location. Comfortable bed, lovely well equipped kitchen and cosy sitting room. WC & en-suite were immaculate but shower was a little on the small side. Loved our stay here & would probably book Bev’s place again. 😊

The apartment is amazing , very clean and spacious with plenty room for 6 people and parking was easy even with 3 cars. It was great having two balconies with such nice views where we could sit out and relax. The kitchen was the best equipped we have stayed in, as was the rest of the apartment, Alex has thought of everything you could possibly need. Alex was very helpful and quick to respond to messages. Hope to be back sometime and would definitely recommend staying here if you're in the area.

The self check-in was easy, with clear instructions from the host. The apartment itself is wonderful. It is spacious, clean, quiet, and very cozy. It had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Graeme and Laura were always friendly and helpful, making sure we had settled in and asking if we needed anything. The host left an apartment guidebook with everything you need to know about where things are or how everything works, including some local menus, which was a great touch. Overall, this is an amazing apartment at a very good price. No complaints at all. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to stay again. Thank you Graeme and Laura, for hosting us.

We had an amazing stay at Gillian and Guy's place. We called when we got to the village and were given instructions on how to locate the property. Guy was already waiting for us and gave us a quick tour with all the information we needed. There was fresh flowers, easter eggs, prosecco, and a wee whiskey for us to enjoy. Decorated beautifully and well kitted out. The hottub is on all the time so we were able to get right on in and relax. The sofa was super comfy and the TV is huge, perfect for movie night. Will definitely be back

A cozy apartment in a beautiful city. You feel like you're staying in town for a short time. Ideal for exploring Inverness and close to various shops

Loved, loved! Loved Anne’s beautiful home! I felt like I stepped back in time but with tastefully done modernizations that made the whole place a dream. I found myself Googling the history of this historical home. Just wow!!!!! The bathroom was amazing. The rock path to the water’s edge was scenic and magical! Anne and Guy were very thoughtful, always asking how they can help! If I am able to return to Scotland I will definitely try to stay here again!!!!

We had a great time in Aviemore. Fraser’s AirBnB was exactly what we needed

Had a lovely break at Karen's apartment. Very clean , modern and smelt lovely ! very handy for local shop, pubs and bus stop . On bus route for all the lovely coastal towns . we will be back

Another perfect stay at Harbour Haven. The large dining kitchen gives us somewhere to sit in the morning if the sofa bed in the living room is still occupied. The master bedroom is incredibly spacious with a generous four-poster. The flat has recently been renovated, though it was already in great condition. As always, the standout is the location. It’s perfectly situated between the high street and the promenade and the living room boasts the most glorious view of the harbour and the sea beyond. This is our third stay at Harbour Haven and we couldn’t recommend it strongly enough. The hosts are always so responsive, approachable and friendly.

We had a lovely stay at Facundo's place. It is so clean, a wonderful location right on the beach and with easy access to all the sites of the Black Isle.

We had a great stay here! The place was comfortable and well-located, with easy access to local shops and restaurants, which made everything really convenient. Stephen was a great host—very responsive and even offered us an extra hour for late check-out, which we appreciated (though we didn’t end up needing it). Just a heads up for future guests: off-street parking isn’t permitted at the property, but there’s a nearby solution—Library car park is just around the corner and worked out fine for us. All in all, a pleasant and easy stay.

Great place, great location, perfect furnishings and very clean. Recommend to every person going to Aberdeen for Business and Leisure.

Excellent place to stay. Perfect location and flat was clean and cosy. Lovely extra touches which were appreciated. Hosts provided fantastic information regarding the area and places to eat. Will most definitely return.
