Spacious 2 Bedroom Flat in heart of Ballater, hotel in Braemar

Situated in Ballater and only 17 km from Balmoral Castle, Spacious 2 Bedroom Flat in heart of Ballater features accommodation with garden views, free WiFi and free private parking.

We had a lovely stay in Ballater. First of all, the flat is so spacious which isn’t apparent in the photos. It is also lovely and warm - the heating works very well. The beds are very comfortable and the bedding and towels good quality. The kitchen is very well equipped and it all works well! Finally, it is in a great location, a very short walk to the town centre, ie, 3 minutes! Off road parking in the drive is also a great bonus.

    We loved our stay at Ivy Cottage! The location is ideal as it is in the center of the village, near restaurants and bars, but still very quiet. The house is very cute, the room is cosy and comfortable, the attention to detail makes it perfect. Our host was lovely and her breakfast is delicious. We will recommend this place to our friends!

    Milnes Brae was an ideal venue in an ideal location for our family get together. The house was immaculate and had every facility that you could wish for. It was a super space for staying in, in the evenings, cooking family meals, playing games and generally socialising by the lovely log stove in the large sitting room in the wet, windy and snowy weather that prevailed over our stay! Would definitely recommend to others and return to ourselves.
