Groups craving comfort, character and afternoons filled with exceptional activities will find every box ticked at this converted Victorian farmstead. Set on a tranquil estate in the heart of Aberdeenshire, the property is surrounded by walking routes, nature trails, wildlife-spotting opportunities and easy access to the coast. Explore riverside walks along the River Dee from nearby Banchory (8.5 miles), discovering the beauty of Royal Deeside, famously home to the royal residence, Balmoral Castle (31 miles). The castle sits within the vast Cairngorms National Park (12 miles), where open heaths, hidden lochs and rolling hilltops await discovery. Wander through the peaceful woodlands of Muir of Dinnet National Nature Reserve (21 miles), home to fascinating Ice Age rock formations, or head to Aberdeen (25 miles) for sweeping sea views and a city centre rich in culture.
This stunning four-bedroom holiday home has been sympathetically designed to blend original features with stylish contemporary décor. Art Deco touches and striking artworks are set against a backdrop of bold feature walls throughout. Step inside via the spacious entrance hall, where a convenient ground-floor bathroom offers the perfect place to freshen up after a day of walking and exploring. To the left, you’ll find the kitchen/diner - a generous space with modern fittings and a large dining table where everyone can gather. From here, a door leads through to the lounge, a wonderfully relaxing space designed for sinking into. Complete with a Scandi-style wood burner and a record player with an extensive vinyl collection, it’s made for slow evenings and laid-back afternoons. Across the hall are two of the property’s four bedrooms: one king-size and one twin, both thoughtfully styled for comfort. Upstairs, a further king-size bedroom and a single bedroom sit alongside a contemporary family bathroom.
When the weather is warm, step outside into the gravelled courtyard to enjoy your morning coffee or evening sundowner using the outdoor seating, Big Green Egg BBQ and pizza oven. A short stroll along a woodland path leads to a secluded wood-fired outdoor bath - the perfect place to soak beneath the trees after a day of adventure. Private parking for two or three cars is also available.
