Cottage vacation rentals in Balintore

Absolutely fantastic location, with fantastic scenery nearby. Had some wonderful walks, literally behind the property. The BBQ area was fantastic like the hot tub. I can’t say much more, but I will be looking to return ASAP Matthew is a fantastic host and nothing seems to be too much of a problem. Loved the place, oh and the Highland cows are awesome.

Second time we have stayed here, will make it a third sometime in the future. Great cottage and location

This place is amazing. Great location to travel around the highlands. Every drive is more beautiful than the last. The donkeys are the sweetest and the cows are so nice to hear and very curious. The little produce stand had eggs and potatoes to purchase which was great for breakfast before adventuring out. Nice walk into town to the pub and deli, even got to meet Percy the local peacock. Everyone is so very friendly. Robert shared local spots and even where to visit the hairy coos nearby. I am glad we booked this little oasis before the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Such a beautiful little get away with so many little hidden gems nearby! Was quiet 24/7 and we loved the peace and the amount of sun the garden and hot tub got. Such a cosy cottage and made us feel at home straight away, worth the drive! Thank you for a lovely stay ❤️

The house was wonderful - we were delighted with both the location and with the property. The house was immaculate, and beautifully furnished with some really lovely pictures and objects throughout. The rooms were all good-sized and bright with the kitchen/dining area overlooking the garden a real standout. It was very well maintained and it felt like a proper home from home. The location was really lovely too - nice and quiet with a very short walk to the beach. We particularly enjoyed our walks around the area and along to Chanonry Point to look for the dolphins. A local pub and a lovely restaurant were close by too which was a bonus! Our host, Eva, provided us with clear and concise information prior to our arrival and messaged us a couple of times during our stay to make sure that all was in order. This was very much appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend the property to others, and we certainly plan to visit again!

Beautiful location - clear directions supplied by the host. Local pub serving good food within a 5 minute walk. Cottage itself was clean & within a quiet location. There is a hot tub in a separate building available at an extra cost - was also clean, ready to use with a plentiful supply of towels . Would recommend for a couple looking for a weekend away interested in walking or exploring the surrounding areas

This place saved our holiday! We were camping in the Cairngorms and ended up with a catastrophic failure of our tent on the second night. Booked this beautiful cottage at 3:30am and checked in just over 12 hours later! Communication from Laura was fab, and she was always on hand with any queries we had. Delightful little cottage, and the bonus of a hot-tub and sauna made for a very different holiday than we had planned in a soggy tent. Would highly recommend, and would certainly look to go back if we stay in this part of Scotland again

Truly “off grid” in the literal sense! It runs on batteries and a generator!! Despite it not having wifi we all had great 4G so never felt truly disconnected thankfully. It’s such a private place with literally nobody for a square mile or more probably. I would say in the winter you will need a 4x4 to access as it’s a mile down a dirt track! Amazing place and can’t wait to revisit :)

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely cottage. It has everything we needed with very comfortable beds. Lots to see and do in the area. Would highly recommend a stay in this cottage.

I loved my short stay at Otter Cottage. The location is just beautiful and felt tranquil. The cottage is very well-equipped and comfortable but also avoids unnecessary clutter so feels spacious inside. The big windows looking out over the canal & Beauly Firth were a joy. Helen was friendly and prompt in her replies to messages and, although there was no need for us to meet, I felt welcomed by the thoughtful touches which greeted me at the property. I definitely hope to return. Thank you, Helen!

Ewan & Claire’s place was just the place we wanted to spend our night in the mountain area with natural beauty surroundings. My child played with sheep and hen, he even got to pick fresh eggs laid out by chicken 🐣. The place itself was in pristine condition. We had a great night of rest.

We had a wonderful stay at Bluefolds for my Dad's 70th. The view from the property is spectacular and ever changing, and you'd never get bored of that alone! Sue was a wonderful host, very welcoming and proactive. The accommodation has everything you could need for a stay there. Take your walking boots, make sure your pets are treated for ticks (as its on a sheep farm), and have an incredible time :)

This is a great cottage in an excellent location. Grantown is well situated for day trips or finding and enjoying places off the beaten track. Fiona's cottage is clean, spacious and we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

We were so happy with our accommodation. It exceeded our expectations. Great location, beautiful views an all round fantastic place. Bea was a great host, very responsive and had left some helpful reviews of things to do and places to go. We loved it 🥰

A lovely house with a child/pet friendly garden and off road parking. Cozy and well appointed. Seafront just across the road! Keep your eyes peeled for seals, dolphins and if you are lucky, maybe even an orca.

Loved the little cottage in Nairn. Like a little picture book. My 6’4” son had a few issues with some lower door frames, but we had been warned! 😁Had a lovely meal at a restaurant on the beach, only a 5 minute walk. Wish we could have stayed longer and seen more of the town!

Parkhill Cottage was perfect base for us to explore Highlands by car. Property was clean and tidy, nice and in very good condition. Quiet neighborhood. Parking space at street just right front of property. Highly recommended!

Absolutely beautiful place and surroundings. Responsive host, quite well thought out basic needs to stay at cottage. Definitely on our favourite lists to visit again.

Great place to spend a few days close enough to the main centre but felt more secluded and private. Sheila was a great host not intrusive but always available if needed. Was great to have the little.amenities on arrival bread butter milk coffee etc. Definitely worth booking if looking for somewhere in the Moray area that is private but walkable to the town centre.

What can I say… the perfect place for us to stay in The Highlands for New Year. The most beautiful view from the front of the place and inside was just as lovely. Perfect size for us as a family of 4, plenty of space and big rooms. We will definitely be booking to come back!

The time at the cottage was incredibly beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed every second there. Peter was incredibly helpful, super nice and had great recommendations for our time in the cottage. The cottage was totally beautifully decorated, cozy and everything was thoughtful. From the hot water bottle, to the firewood, good equipment in the kitchen... We were really happy and already miss life there! We would come back any time and fell a little more in love with Scotland!

We had a short stay and would’ve loved to stay longer. Everything was as described, very comfortable and well equipped. We would definitely stay here again.

5* place, don’t miss out if you get the chance to stay here! The cottage was fantastic, a real home from home and immaculately clean. We had everything we needed, full kitchen, comfortable beds and good bedding, and so spacious everywhere. Great to have option of utility room too. But then you see the view! WOW, utterly beautiful and breathtaking….. sitting outside with a glass of wine or a cuppa and just watching the sea /weather… the hills/mountains in the background… we got some great sunsets and the peace and calm of this place was enviable. Sadly no dolphins spotted this time for us! Duncan was a fab host, giving so much info on the house, local area and places to visit further away… I’d definitely suggest a walk/drive to the lighthouse in Portmahomack late afternoon and sit on the rocks for a while.. feels like you’re on the top of the world! We left calm and happy and feeling very well looked after, thank you Duncan and Susan! We’d love to come back!

Kinkell Castle cottage is a beautiful hideaway in the grounds of the renovated castle, with views over the valley to the mountains beyond. Beautifully presented with outstanding comfort and Artwork to enjoy.
