- Danny (9/5): Comfortabele woning op mooie lokatie - Een mooie lokatie met uitzicht op een herten weide. Alles wat je nodig had was aanwezig in huis. De eigenaren waren ook super vriendelijk en wonen naast dit huis. Niets
- Veronika S. (10/5): - Fabulous stay at Smithy Cottage! Ideal for a family of 4. Very prompt and easy communication with hosts, everything was clean, the cottage is nicely and comfortably furnished. Kitchen is perfect for a self-sustained holiday, you find everything you need. And it´s care free thanks to the dishwasher. Completely quiet for a good night´s sleep, beautiful views at the green hills and a herd of deer just across. No midges! And, the heating is automatically put on mornings and evenings - which comes in handy even in the Summer, we found. A perfectly cosy place to relax. You need a car but it´s not a long drive from the hiking and biking spots around Ballater and Braemar. Having to leave!
- R W (10/5): -
- Samantha (9/5): Superb - Lovely cottage, very comfortable for a family.
- Lucy (8/5): A beautiful cottage surrounded by amazing scenery - Very clean and cosy Nothing we didn’t like. As it was hot in our bedrooms upstairs maybe a fan would be a good addition (unless there was one and I didn’t see it)
- Derek (10/5): Exceptional -
- Deb (9/5): What a delightful place to stay- loved it. -
- Andy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lisa (10/5): Exceptional - Great place to stay and explore the region. Very friendly and helpful owners.
- Ian (10/5): Lovely quiet cottage - Lovely cottage in a quiet rural location. Very good amenities and spotlessly clean. The hosts (next door) were also very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend if you're looking to get away from it all. Nothing
- Bertrand (9/5): Cosy cottage, ideal to visit the area - Splendid cottage, very cosy and comfortable for a family of four. Upstair area ideal for the children with two beds, downstairs includes a very well equipped kitchen, a nice linking area and a double bedroom. All the beds are amazing!
- Ian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lynn (10/5): Location amazing. - Lovely place to stay. Everything you need for a fantastic stay.
The location is absolutely amazing.
- Jeevan (10/5): Great stay! Will visit again. Got to see Aurora Borealis - The location and layout of the property was excellent! It was well equipped and easily accommodated 4 adults. Highly recommend and will visit again. Nothing
- Natasha (10/5): Beautiful cottage, stunning views and perfect hosts. - Beautiful cottage with stunning views and perfect hosts. Everything we needed and the property is really well thought out.
- Kathy (10/5): It was absolutely perfect in every way. We didn’t want to leave. - Everything! Nothing.
- Julie (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful cottage in a beautiful location, nice walks from doorstop and in the area and close to local facilities at Bellabeg. The owners are friendly and helpful and have equipped the cottage with lots of thought, there is everything you need for a comfortable self-catered stay. There is an en suite bedroom on the ground floor and through another door off the sitting room there is another ground floor shower room and stairs up to a double bedroom and single bed on the mezzanine. This layout was ideal for us and our daughter's family. There are enclosed gardens to the front and rear and you can park at the property. Cannot fault it and would highly recommend Nothing
- Andrew (9/5): Superb -
- Christine (10/5): Surpassed expectations. Even the inclement weather didn’t dampen our enthusiasm - Superb location, spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable. Lots of little touches that made it so welcoming.
All crockery and cutlery matched. Enough cooking implements to satisfy the most experienced cook.
Great to have Bill and Mairi next door with their wealth of local knowledge and friendliness. Nothing ( only that we had to leave it !!!)
- Roy (10/5): So lucky to find Smithy Cottage, can’t wait to go back. - Great location with wonderful hosts, can’t wait to go back Nothing it was perfect
- Danielle (8/5): Good - Hosts were lovely and very accommodating. They came during the storm with fresh bread etc. Sadly there was storm forecast and the owners wouldn’t refund or transfer the stay prior to us arriving. This was a bit unfair as balmoral and other places we had planned to visit were closed due to the amber weather warning. We couldn’t go out from the property. The cottage was very cosy and comfortable. The kitchen and bathrooms could of been slightly cleaner. But the rest of the house was clean.
- Jay (10/5): A great place to stay, wish we could stay longer - Very cosy, more than enough facilities, loved the wood fire. No nothing at all.
