Graham & Rachel
A contemporary styled countryside cottage, in the heart of Aberdeenshire, perfect for two couples or singles. Accommodation is over two levels with separate bedroom areas. It offers a beautiful lounge, in which to relax and plan days out. The kitchen has ample space to self cater and dine together. There is plenty of space to park two cars beside the cottage and a small garden with seating for all. The coast is a short drive away and the area is famous for Whisky Distilleries, Castles and ice cream! The garden is to the side of the property and offers a small patio with table seating.
Graham and Rachel look forward to welcoming you. We'll make sure you are comfortable and have everything you need. It's a beautiful area with plenty to see and do. We keep to ourselves but are usually available if you need anything.
Guests often enjoy visiting Cullen and Portsoy and we have plenty of sandy beaches and harbour villages to explore. Walkers may enjoy a hike up Bennachie near Inverurie. Locally we have Glen Dronnach and Glen Glassaugh Whisky Distilleries. It's also only a short drive to Speyside Cooperage and Glenfiddich Distillery, both open to visitors. History lovers will be spoilt for choice with all the castles in the area. Duff House is a historic mansion in Banff, maintained by Historic Scotland. Huntly Castle is a very interesting ruin, well worth a visit. Other castles in easy reach from the cottage are Delgatie, Fyvie, Brodie, Dunnotar, Crathes, Drum and Dunnottar. Haddo House is another property worth checking out. If golf is your favoured hobby, Aberdeenshire has plenty to offer included local courses at Royal Duff Golf Club, Cullen Links and Royal Tarlair Golf Club.
