Number 3 Knocks Cottages - Birkhall

A 4 Star Self Catering Holiday Cottage Sleeping 6 Just Outside Ballater In Cairngorm National Park

A traditional Scottish cottage offering four star self catering holiday accommodation for up to six adults, just over a mile outside Ballater on Royal Deeside. The cottage was originally built for workers on the Birkhall Estate, now owned by Prince Charles. The cottages were renovated to a high standard in 1988 and look out across the woods of the estate towards Glen Muick. The area owes much of its character to Queen Victoria and information about the Victorian Heritage Trail is available at the cottage. Balmoral Castle is seven miles away and there are many other castles and superb gardens open to the public within easy reach of the cottage.

For lovers of the great outdoors there are no shortage of activities available within easy reach of the cottage. There is a wide range of walking nearby and the surrounding quiet tracks and roads are ideal for cyclists. There is a wealth of wildlife, from red squirrels and siskins in the garden itself, to the deer and birdlife of the Glen Muick nature reserve. Salmon and trout fishing are available locally, as is skiing - dependent on the season and the weather!

Rooms Description

The cottage has three bedrooms and sleeps up to six adults. The large and comfortable sitting room has a wood burning stove, colour television, video and Hi-Fi system.
