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.
Party of 6 from 2yrs to 62yrs! 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.
The accommodation we stayed at the Braehead Steading was perfect for our needs and was so comfortable. Easy access to the town and perfect for discovering the surrounding areas. A great holiday and rest.
We had a wonderful stay in Braehead Steading, it's a lovely house with a very high standard of facilities and plenty of space for a large group. The area is amazing with wonderful views, great walks and local amenities in Ballater. Will definitely return.
