    Perfect place for a peaceful retreat

    Nothing, it was perfect.

    Tina's place was an absolute delight! It offered the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle. Pure tranquility! The garden house itself was charming and cozy. Detached from the main house and with its own fence, it provided a sense of privacy. The surrounding area was incredibly quiet, with just a few houses and vast fields stretching out before you. It was truly a breath of fresh air. Despite the peaceful location, Tarves, a town with a good-sized supermarket, was within easy walking distance. For those seeking to explore further, Tina offered fantastic recommendations! Following her advice, I visited the Newburgh seals beach and Balmedie country park - both stunning locations and well worth the drive. The check-in process was smooth and effortless. Tina took the time to show me the facilities and tell me more about the area. A truly kind touch was the fresh eggs from her hens waiting for me - a delicious breakfast surprise! The house itself was impeccably clean and well-maintained. It was evident that Tina cares deeply about her guests' comfort. Little details throughout, like thoughtfully placed amenities and charming decorations, made the space feel truly special. Overall, my stay at Tina's place was exceptional. It offered the perfect blend of peace, comfort, and a touch of homey charm. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a relaxing getaway in a beautiful countryside setting!

    A cosy but surprisingly spacious cottage with everything that you need for a little break away. Especially loved the warm welcome from host Tina, the beautifully scented toiletries and fresh flowers as well as the fresh eggs, milk and treats on arrival. Was very generous and made the stay really special. Thanks so much!

    There's nothing we did not like.

    We visited Tina's Garden Hideaway House for 2 days and immediately fell in love with it. The house has everything a single visitor or a couple need for a relaxed holiday, it is very cosy and very nicely decorated and has its own patio and garden. Its location is very convenient to visit the eastern part of the Highlands. And Tina was just great (thank you!!), very accomodating of our late check-in and so thoughtful and responsive to the few requests we had. We wish we had stayed longer and hopefully will come back another time!!!

    The lights would turn off when we used the tap but we just thought it was funny.

    The place was very clean. They had left us eggs, different cooking supplies, milk and coffee which was nice. We got to see chickens when we were leaving as they were wandering around in the garden. The kitchen area was petite, as was expected and we managed to whip up some pasta for dinner. The extra heater they had supplied was amazing at keeping us nice and warm as it was cold outside. All round we had a lovely stay :)

    The garden summerhouse was super cosy. We arrived quite late but Tina was there to meet us and Oscar our little pouch. Tina had made sure the summerhouse was lovely and warm for us. Very clean and lots of special touches including electric blanket, slippers, extra heater if we needed it. Coffee machine with pods, milk and water in the fridge and free range eggs. Everything we needed for our little stop over.

    Nothing we disliked, couldn’t get to heater to stay warm for long but thankfully there were plenty of lovely cosy blankets and an extra little fan heater so wasn’t a problem really!

    It was all decorated for Christmas which made it feel homely and festive. Complimentary fresh eggs which were fab and a few wee extra touches and just an all round cute little place to stay. Tina was great, as she was out for the day had messaged me and left a note with everything we needed to know. Great that dogs can be there too, my dog had a great time. As did we.

    Quiet, rural location which was great to commute to Inverurie and Aberdeen during our stay. The property itself was very clean with a very nice decor. The bed was comfortable and provided a good night sleep. We also received some fresh eggs, provided from the on-site chickens which Tina has, to have for our breakfast, which was great.
