Absolutely loved our stay at Aileen!!! Directions were clear and it was easy to find. It was my first time staying in a tiny home and it was the cutest little house. It was clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The beds were comfortable and the pillows were fabulous. The nights were quiet and peaceful. We slept so well!! It was a short drive to the Highland Games, which is why we were there. The owners were on site when we arrived. They were so friendly and kind. Loved everything about our stay.

Great stay! Location is perfect for exploring Ballater and the surrounding area - just a beautiful spot! Accommodation was ideal for what we needed, definitely recommend!
A fantastic stay with fantastic views! I would describe it as an excellent choice for a place to lounge back with wonderful Scottish views. Hosts were polite, friendly and very accommodating. Bonus points for the cafetiere! Also a very pleasant surprise to see dozens of rabbits and cows. 10/10

Lovely house. Very grateful to be told we could check in from 12 as cleaner had finished. In a quiet area but very close to shops and cafes. Lovely riverside walks. Love Ballater and would definitely come back to Dormie Cottage again
Just magic. We were a family of 3 - magic river walk near by, so beautifully designed and the most magnificent view out of the top window. We loved it. Thank you.

Dormie Cottage was a lovely base to explore the beautiful surroundings of Ballater. Spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished and very comfortable. The Scottish Tablet was a lovely welcome gift and the Welcome Book was a godsend. We would definitely recommend to others.
We had a lovely stay. The views are beautiful, the hot tub was great, and the rooms were very clean, comfortable and nicely done. A really peaceful place and we really enjoyed our time there. Would definitely recommend!
Lovely location and beautiful tiny house. I definitely recommended and would come back for sure!

Our stay in Ballater was lovely, the accommodation worked well for 2 couples with plenty of room to relax and eat. Great high street with lots of independent shops which is rare these days. Well worth staying at the cottage and spending time in Ballater.
A beautiful cottage in a nice little village. We very much enjoyed the place, and we felt immediately like being at home, when we entered the cottage. Definitely a place to return to.

Disappointing
☺Location in village good and had a nice kitchen and master bedroom.
☹Cottage was dark and felt hemmed in. Damp smell in twin room with one window roof light (which made it hard to sleep early morning but perhaps there was a autoblind which I missed). Shower room had a leak somewhere as always seemed to be water on the floor around toilet - perhaps from observed crack in shower tray which felt unstable. Garden was very unkempt and patio area was tired. Outside lights not working. We booked for 3 nights but left early after 2.

Comfortable and quiet location for your Deeside break
☺Location was excellent, very quiet yet ideally located for all of Ballater's amenities and great base for walking from the door. . Comfortable beds, good showers, spacious kitchen, Smart TV and good WiFi. Great to have private driveway and enclosed garden .
☹The cottage was good value for money and this is reflected by some of the furnishings (ikea lounge chairs, kitchen curtains needing repair) that may need to be updated in the near future, but these did not take away from its comfort.
