Impeccable maintenance of cottages and properties gives to stunning views and carefree vacation. Cottages are spotless and well appointed. Access to activities on the estate provides lots of fun and adventure for everyone. The staff members are very friendly and accommodating. There was nothing we were in need of.

The cottage was perfect in every respect and we had a very relaxing week on the estate. It was extremely well kitted out and the furnishing of high quality. We especially liked having guest use of the kitchen garden, bikes, sporting facilities and rowing boat.

A very enjoyable holiday in a superb cottage, which is every bit as good as it looks in the brochure.
Great to be able to pick a bike and cycle around the estate and take the boat out to go fishing in the loch with the rods provided. Lots of wildlife to see and the observation tower is a good place to spend some time.
Very helpful staff and a lot of peace and quiet.
Excellent!

This was our fourth stay at Balnagowan and once again had a wonderful time. The privacy of the estate gives us the peace of mind to let our children and dogs roam and the quality of the cottage is of a standard we would have if it were our own country retreat - it's a wonderful place we love coming to and will be back next year.
