Wonderful cottage with sweeping views of a stunning area. The cottage is very well equipped.
Our second stay at Easter Knocklea. The house does not disappoint, well maintained and very well equipped.
Fabulous dog friendly cottage in eastern Cairngorms. Stunning views, really well renovated and equipped (the pics do not do it justice) and spotlessly clean. Warm in bad weather (well insulated + good heating + abundant wood for fire) and lovely "sun room" and lawn terrace in good. Balmoral, Ballater just 30 mins away. Quiet and peaceful ...we hope to return and climb more hills.
Stunning property in an amazing location a perfect highland retreat!
Excellent cottage, very well equipped and in a beautiful location. The cottage is ideal whether you want a quiet holiday or a more adventurous one. Highly recommended.
The cottage is in the most stunning setting overlooking a valley with beautiful views. We loved our stay and will definitely be returning. The house is exceptionally well equipped with lots of thoughtful additions and everything is of a very high quality. Sad to be home!
