The fully equipped kitchen and dining area provide everything you need to prepare and enjoy meals with ease, complete with charming touches that make cooking a delight. The stylish bathroom adds a hint of everyday luxury with a separate walk-in shower, elegant traditional fixtures, and a relaxing bath. In contrast, the inclusion of soft towels and natural, botanical products adds a spa-like finish. For longer stays, a practical utility room features a Belfast sink, Miele washer/dryer, storage, and coat hooks—perfect for outdoor gear or even a muddy pup. Step outside to your own large private garden, ideal for morning coffees, sunset drinks, or simply breathing in the fresh country air. A bike store and purpose-built kennel ensure that both two- and four-legged guests feel right at home.
While the cottage itself is a haven of comfort, its location near a working farm makes it a gateway to some of Scotland’s most breathtaking natural and cultural attractions. Nestled near the edge of the Cairngorms National Park, guests are spoiled for choice when it comes to outdoor activities—whether it’s hiking through ancient woodlands, mountain biking at Tarland Trails, or snow sports at The Lecht 2090. For quieter days, take a stroll through Leith Hall’s gardens, or try your hand at fly fishing on the River Don, with local Ghillie guidance available. Wildlife watchers and photographers will find endless inspiration in the surrounding hills and glens. Families can enjoy days out at Wynford Farm Park, Strathdon Ranch, or Stonehaven’s Open Air Swimming Pool, while those seeking cultural experiences can explore Balmoral Castle, Craigievar Castle, and the evocative ruins of Kildrummy Castle.
For a deeper dive into local heritage, visit the Grampian Transport Museum, Alford Heritage Centre, or Speyside Cooperage. With peaceful walking trails at your doorstep, fast and reliable Wi-Fi, free parking, a Smart TV and board games, the cottage offers the perfect balance of seclusion and connection. Whether you’re in search of adventure, tranquillity, or a bit of both, this countryside retreat places you at the heart of Aberdeenshire’s most magical experiences—all year round.
