Description

Dunecht 4.1 miles.

Nestled in the quaint village of Sauchen near Dunecht, is this wonderful, stone-fronted property, Stable Cottage.

Resting on a working-farm, home to donkeys, chickens and a lovely pond, this detached cottage is an idyllic base for a family of six looking to explore the rolling countryside of Aberdeenshire.

Be welcomed by three off-road parking spaces before stepping out and breathing in the earthy air, as well as admiring the luscious greenery encompassing Stable Cottage.

Step inside to discover the hexagonal hallway, where you can house your walking boots and raincoats ready for an adventure in the splendour of nature.

Moving through the cottage, find the beautifully presented open-plan living space, with two leather sofas settled near a cracking open-fire, here you can unwind with a compelling book or enjoy some television.

Rustle up heart-warming meals in the lovely kitchen area, prepare your food on the wooden worktops and make use of the fantastic facilities, including an electric oven and hob, as well as a washer and dishwasher to assist with the cleaning.

Gather around the rustic dining table to savour a meal together and catch-up on the excitement of the day.

The outdoor furniture in the garden offers alternative dining arrangements when the weather is nice, unwind on the patio to absorb the sunshine with a refreshing glass of wine.

There is also a swing set for the little ones to enjoy and a pond, surrounded by an abundance of greenery.

As the sky grows dark, retreat inside and indulge in a soak amongst the bubbles in the ground-floor bathroom or opt for a refreshing rinse in the walk-in shower.

The ground-floor also hosts a pretty, king-size double bedroom, ideal for those with limited mobility.

Climb the light-grey carpeted stairs to discover another double bedroom and a twin bedroom, with feature chic grey walls for an elegant look.

Embark on an adventure to the historical sites of Sunhoney Stone Circle and Whitehill Stone Circle for a peaceful walk, stepped in history where you can take photos of the ancient stone circles, as well as the medieval Castle Fraser, Garden & Estate, for a tour of the Victorian home.

A scenic drive will lead you to the lively town of Aberdeen, here you can explore the maritime museum, admire the tropical plants at Duthie Park Winter Gardens or sample the superb selection of Whiskey Distilleries for an insight into the production of the spirit.

The cottage is 12 miles from Alford where you can enjoy a visit to the Grampian Transport Museum or the heritage Centre.

Visit the attractive town of Inverurie, known as ‘Heart of the Garioch’ and boasting majestic castles to explore, five shopping centres to indulge in some retail therapy, as well as quaint cafes on the high street for a spot of lunch.

For a splendid getaway to the unspoilt countryside of Aberdeenshire, stay at Stable Cottage.

The absolute best holiday!

! What a beautiful home. The friendliest, kindest owner, Ann. Beautiful, breathtaking surroundings. Our 2 girls aged 5 and 7 had the time of their lives, playing with the owners dogs, riding the ponies, riding the buggy with Ann, helping on the farm, brushing the ponies, collecting apples etc etc etc. They had the best experiences here on the farm. We can’t wait to return again next year. Thank you Ann and family for your kindness and for letting us get involved on the farm you love so much! It’s been a real joy for us all. The Whiteheads

Our time at Stable Cottage was absolutely perfect.

The cottage was spotless, spacious and had everything that we needed to enjoy our stay. We were made to feel so welcome by Anne and her lovely dogs, and really appreciated the welcome basket. Our children had the best time meeting all of the animals on the farm and were very sad to leave them at the end of our stay. The cottage is in a great location to visit the surrounding areas, and Anne gave us some great recommendations for local walks and places to eat. We would love to come back to stay in this special cottage. Thank you for the wonderful memories.

The Cottage was easy to find, very comfortable and clean, the lady owner was very helpful and really made us feel at home, we loved talking to her dogs who were very friendly.

We had a relaxing week, just what we needed.
