    Fern Cottage is a stone-built cottage in traditional Scottish style which stands in its own garden on the outskirts of the village of Braemar (shops, pubs, restaurants, hotels)  in Royal Deeside.  The rear garden backs right on to the hillside, where deer often graze, while the nearby duck pond with its ever-hungry tenants is a constant source of delight for children.  Before a change of plan, Fern Cottage was completely refurbished for the owners' personal use, so it is a most comfortably appointed and furnished holiday house which is ideal for a larger family.

    In the area, there is lots for all members of the family to enjoy.  This is some of the best walking terrain in the country in truly stunning scenery, with a choice of forest and riverside trails as well as more demanding hill-walking and climbing.  The energetic can tackle nearby Lochnagar, or brave the haunted Lairig Ghru, seriously spooky in even the brightest weather.  Ski-ing (14m at Glenshee and 23m at the Lecht where there is also a dry ski slope), golf, riding and fishing are all available locally.

    To the north visitors can take the famous Cockbridge to Tomintoul road - the highest in Britain - towards Inverness (70m, all facilities).  This conveniently crosses the Malt Whisky Trail, so you may not get much further if you stop to sample the wares at some of the famous distilleries in the area!

    To the east, follow the beautiful valley of the Dee to Aberdeen (60m), which is also well worth a visit and where there are also fine beaches to enjoy.  The area is dotted with stately homes and castles - not least the Queen's Highland retreat at Balmoral (9m) - which are open to the public, so there is plenty to do in all weathers.  To the South, the 'Fair City' of Perth (swimming complex with flumes, ice rink, all facilities) can be reached in about an hour.

    Heating is by gas central heating (£15 INCLUDED) and open fire (Starter pack INCLUDED).  Bed-linen, towels and £10 of electricity are INCLUDED.  Pets are welcome.

      Had a fantastic stay in Fern Cottage. The cottage was lovely - warm and cosy. Real child friendly both inside and out. The walking was wonderful, amazing views and lovely fresh air. Ballater was good for provisions and cycling and we used Inver Hotel for regular lunches. I would definately recommend to friends and hope to return.
