Monthly Rentals in Logie Coldstone

Fantastic base for our week with bikes and boots - the house had everything we needed, and more! Pedalled from the house for adventures around Ballater, on the Tarland Trails and to the Top of Mount Keen in glorious sunshine, and more walking trails around and about including Muir of Dinnet/Burn O'Vat. Loved coming back to a warm bath and comfy space, with brilliantly kitted out kitchen for cooking. Enjoyed all the garden birds. Overall, in the woods and mountains, we saw over 50 species of birds in 5 days, plus deer, red squirrel, stoat, badger, lizard, slowworm and 2 adders! Such as treat for town-dwellers , thank you :)

We had a short but very enjoyable stay in the 'Cooshed' - I'm normally a bit wary about places which are essentially in someone's garden, but it never felt like we were intruding on the hosts (who have a lovely house and garden). The fit and finish is great, the decor is very tasteful and it is very well-equipped. The half-size dishwasher was a real bonus, very useful to have a washing machine available too. It wasn't really cold enough to 'need' the woodburner but it seemed rude not to fire it up - I did see sub-zero temperatures forecast for one of the nights we were there! I thought the ladder up to the bed might be a pain, but it's fine - good thought to provide a subtle night-light downstairs. We managed to find some good walking and running routes straight from the property - the forestry plantation up behind is a bit bleak and spooky (even with red squirrels), but along the River Don and up Ben Newe before breakfast on a sunny day was a real highlight! Definitely recommended.

Bev’s place was beautifully appointed and the additional extras - milk, coffee/tea, snacks etc were much appreciated. Bev was helpful when asked for directions to a nearby church, managing to provide a postcode. We all felt very comfortable and relaxed here.

Absolutely amazing place in stunning location with everything very well thought out. Very well equipped with top end furniture and equipment and loved the eco touch too . You absolutely won't regret this for a minute .
