The Tink Holiday Cottage

www.the-tink-holiday-cottage.co.uk

The Tink Holiday Cottage is located overlooking the river Dee on the eastern outskirts of the village of Ballater some 8 miles from the gliding club. The Cottage was originally the public bar belonging to the Invercauld Arms Hotel (now renamed the Monaltrie hotel). It was so called because the many Tinkers who frequented the upper Deeside area used it as their 'watering' hole. It was converted into a private cottage in the mid 1980's and has now been refurbished and is available for rent as a holiday home. Accommodation for 5 persons in single story cottage Three bedrooms - 1 with en suite facilities Oil Fired central heating throughout (no extra charge) Modern well equipped kitchen.
