All rooms have bamboo or maple flooring, superking or twin beds, lovely bed linen and great shower rooms attached.

Since the pandemic, Schoolhouse no longer serves breakfast but each bedroom is equipped with tea/coffee, fridge stocked with milk, yoghurt and fruits and there's cereal and porridge pots so guests can make themselves a light, healthy breakfast in their own room - or head out for a full Scottish at one of the local cafes. Each bedroom has table, chairs, TV and wifi.

The lounge has enormous sofas and on chilly evenings, a blazing woodburning stove. There’s a selection of books and local information to dip into and smart tv discreetly placed.

Braemar is set in the Cairngorm National Park. It has two historic castles. There are hotels and restaurants in the village, about 200m from the cabin itself.

There is a bus stop right in front of the chalet. The bus runs into Ballater and onward to Aberdeen. The cabin has ample off-road parking. From Aberdeen Airport, follow signs for Braemar.

The fabulous garden is there for your pleasure but the large pond is deep. It is separated from part of the garden by a fence but is not fenced off itself and you should note this if you are bringing children.

Guest access
Guests have access to the whole of the cabin, which is independent. There is full access to the decking and garden furniture and full access to the extensive garden itself.

Other things to note
There is a large pond (lochan) in the garden, which is partially wild and good for birdspotting! Parents should note that the lochan is not itself fenced and is accessible from the cabin's wrap around decking. However, the whole back garden and lochan are fully fenced off from the drive and the large child-friendly decking beside it.

If you have an electric car, there are two charge points in the village, one beside the toilets in the main car park behind the butcher, and the other in the car park opposite the Invercauld Hotel (opposite side of the road). They are pictured in the property listing's photos. Please let us know if you can't use these chargers as we can run a line from the shed for you. There will be a £15.00 fee for each time you charge your car at the cabin, based on RAC data.
