A splendid large family home set in glorious isolation in the Scottish countryside, large enough for two families to share.

Set in the beautiful Deveron Valley, this charming country home is surrounded by breathtaking unspoilt countryside. The property sleeps eight guests across four bedrooms and has been finished in a comfortable and informal style while still retaining an air of grandeur. It’s an elegant choice for a family or group holiday with lovely décor and places to visit nearby that will keep everyone entertained.

With a large enclosed garden complete with a detached den for children and teenagers and plenty to see and do in the local area, this is an excellent choice for multi-generational parties.

Inside, this spacious property has been modernised into a delightful family home with neutral decor, high ceilings and home comforts throughout. Rustle up delicious meals in the modern kitchen, which offers ample surface space and looks out across the garden. Once prepared, dine at the table in the formal lounge/dining room while the wood burner crackles away nearby. With plenty of inviting sofas, a cosy rug and large windows flooding the room with natural light, this is a pleasant space in which to relax at any time of day. A separate lounge/diner offers an alternative space for guests to dine and relax. Each of the four individually decorated bedrooms are spacious and light, with plenty of storage for making yourselves at home. Outside, a fantastic enclosed garden is a haven for wildlife, perfect for those long lazy afternoons in the sunshine. A separate chalet-style building houses table tennis and there’s a mezzanine area that offers a private space for teenagers to hang out away from the grown-ups.

Cosy property in idyllic location. The opportunity to take my four dogs was a refreshing change and they enjoyed exploring the woodland, which was all securely fenced. A relaxing break for myself and my partner with the experience of cooking on an Aga as a bonus.

Absolutely beautiful cottage in an amazing setting. Very well presented and equipped. Internally a little dated but this is not an issue and does not take away from any of the charm the place has.

This is a lovey rural cottage - well equipped, private and peaceful. It is a good place for a larger family or friends to stay and a lot of thought has gone into the comfort of the guests. We would definitely like to stay again.

Excellent place - lots of room and a really great outdoor space. The two living rooms and the separation of some of the bedrooms from each other is ideal to ensure that you can do your own thing if you want. There is certainly no danger of feeling crowded and there is a great big living room if you are feeling sociable!
