Our first visit to Braehead and we were not disappointed. The Steading is stunning, a beautiful comfy home for a relaxing holiday. The home was immaculate and the kitchen was well equipped with everything you might need. The rooms were all very comfortable and it has a beautiful large garden. ( I did miss having a bird table to watch ) The house is less than 5 minutes drive to Ballater and located in the Cairngorms national park offers many places to visit. Aberdeen is only 40 miles away and Stonehaven with its stunning beaches and Dunnatar castle is only just over an hour away. Balmoral castle and Braemar castle are 10 minutes from the Steading. Enjoyed watching the house martins daily and the neighbours geese who visited every morning. Thank you to the owner Graham who was so kind and helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay, hope to return again soon.
Thanks again to Wilderness cottages, always so helpful.
We had such a lovely time at Braehead Steading. A beautiful house with lots of room for everyone. We were having a family reunion and the house was situated next to the house my uncle grew up in and also across the road is Tullich Graveyard where my grandparents were buried, so it had significant meaning to us. Would definitely stay again!
A beautifully warm, cosy cottage with absolutely everything you could want for. We had a wonderful holiday with lovely weather and the scenery is just gorgeous and went for some lovely walks. We highly recommend the Staeding and look forward to returning in the near future.
Lovely accommodation at Braehead Steading, our stay was made even better by the fabulous large dog proof garden. We would highly recommend a stay here and look forward to returning.

What an amazing place to spend Xmas???? photos do not do justice to this property, it's huge, it's warm and comfortable, got everything you need and few things you didn't realise you needed. It's beautifully decorated and immaculately finished but homely at the same time. Absolutely loved it. We thinking about visiting again in the summer, if this is the standard of Wilderness Cottages properties we'll definitely be using one of their properties.
We had a lovely holiday at Brae Steading. The house was clean and it had everything in it that we needed for our stay. The size of rooms downstairs and bedrooms meant we had plenty of space for our group of 7. There was a lovely big dining room and a lovely dining room table for us to sit together for our evening meal. There was plenty of plates etc in the cupboards and we liked the idea of the 2 fridges and used them both. We liked the huge space we had in the garden and enjoyed sitting outside the patio doors. It was good being so near the trails. Our group enjoyed their holiday and plan to return.
