Drumhead Bothy

This is the best self-catering accommodation we have ever stayed in.

Very comfortable, super quality, plenty of everything eg towels, crockery etc. Perfect location, lovely garden, peaceful setting, birds came to eat seeds outside the door. Angus and Judy were great hosts, nothing was too much trouble, always ready for a chat. Generous welcome pack provided. Finzean is lovely, several walks to do from the Bothy itself. The Farm Shop is very nice. They sell basic food goods, artisan goods and provide breakfasts and lunches. We are definitely staying at the Bothy next year.

Absolutely fabulous, quiet, peaceful and relaxing with lots of wonderful birds right outside the Bothy.

A real home from home, the very best of everything you could need for a fantastic holiday. Angus and Judy are the very best hosts providing 100% at all times. We are looking forward to returning next year.

The Star rating reflects our Bothy experience and we shall have no difficulty in recommending it to others.

Angus and Judy were wonderful hosts and made us once again most welcome. The facilities were more than adequate for a first class holiday cottage.

From listening to birds, beautiful setting, solitude, cottage superb, and lovely people next door, this was probably the most relaxing holiday we have had for a long time.

Our 6th year returning to this wonderful place, Angus and Judy embody hosts with the most, thoughtful, considerate and passionate attitude.

Literally nothing has been missed in providing what we consider our second home. Simply stunning and that's why we keep returning. ❤️❤️❤️

Superb accommodation.

The moment we stepped through the door into this property you could tell that it was something special and we were not disappointed. It had everything that you could wish for and more. It was in a great location, not too far from the Cairngorms, the whisky distilleries along the Spey and close to Braemar, Banchory and Ballater. Angus and Judy, I have to say, were the best hosts that we have ever had the pleasure of meeting; very friendly, chatty, generous and have a wealth of knowledge of the whole area. Great! If time permits we would love to go back to this property and to see Angus and Judy again.

A special place.

Just beautiful.

Such a beautiful and restful place to stay.

It’s the perfect base to explore the region. Judy and Angus are the most welcoming people and made the stay even better by being so lovely.

We stayed here as my Dad was competing in the Scottish 6 day Orienteering competition and I can't describe just how beautiful this place is.

Situated in peaceful surroundings, this little gem of a place is a very comfortable and clean place to stay. Angus and Judy are truly lovely and kind human beings and I loved learning about the visiting wildlife from Angus. There is a lovely short AllTrails walk very close by that we enjoyed with my dog on the competition rest day. This was absolutely worth the money we paid for it and it will be somewhere we would return to if we stay in the area again.

Another relaxing comfortable week.

Always a joy to stay here and to catch up with Judy and Angus our most favourite hosts.

We have stayed at this cottage a number of times.

It suits us very well as we are older and require walk in showers and no steps. We can book this cottage with complete confidence every time. The cottage is also in the middle of Deeside which makes touring the area easy Couple who own the cottage nearby and always helpful in all ways

Thank you once again for a wonderful stay in your amazingly comfortable Bothy.

It’s like coming home! You are both so caring, welcoming and helpful, we were blessed! We can’t wait to see you again already!

Wonderful accommodation.

Log fire with plenty of wood. Everything we needed. Found out we could get newspaper at farm shop. Garden of Eden. Our second visit.

The property could not have been better and the hosts were excellent.

We would definitely go back there again and will be recommending friends and family to stay there. We simply cannot praise the Bothy high enough.

Just want to say that this holiday let is so lovely!

Angus and Judy are just so warm and welcoming and we loved all the small touches in the accommodation that we've never had in such abundance in staying in holiday lets for decades! Thank you so much for making our week so stress free. You even listened to me " moan" about not being able to sit down near a mirror/plug to do my hair!!! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting peace and quiet and being a wee bit spoiled! X

A beautiful property in a quiet and picturesque location.

Among the best best properties we've stayed at. Immaculately clean and really well stocked. You can see how much thought and pride has gone into it from the lovely, friendly hosts. Plenty of walks on your doorstep.

This was our 3rd time staying at Drumhead Bothy.

I honestly can’t imagine staying anywhere else when visiting the area. Angus and Judy are THE BEST hosts imaginable and we look forward to seeing them. Gladys and Rosie are super cute. We had some travel complications and they were very kind and accommodating. It continues to be the best vacation rental we have ever stayed in. Comfortable, cozy, quiet, and consistent.

It was a perfect stay with Angus & Judy in a wonderful landscape.

The house is perfectly equipped, bathroom and shower are perfect. It’s like a home far away from home. The beds were excellent!

We had a wonderful stay.

Our hosts went out of their way to make us welcome. The bothy was extremely comfortable. It was warm and cozy (well insulated). There are lovely walks around the area and the nearby farm shop is very tempting.

A beautiful cottage on a beautiful area.

Everything we needed and more. Thank you.

Comfortable accommodation in a beautiful place.

Hosts are always friendly and helpful.

Excellent hosts, as seen in entries in the visitors book.

Great welcome from host, who offered to help with luggage, and make a cup of tea! You are both stars............

This was our second stay at The Bothy and we had another fantastic trip.

The hosts are so welcoming and we love the accommodation, the setting, and the location. Great place for a relaxing holiday.

I think this is a small piece of heaven,I could not recommend this property or its owners highly enough.

Warm and welcoming-always asking if we needed anything.I loved the Bothy and its garden and grounds.There has been so much love and care gone into everything,it is a true gem.Spotlessly clean,amazing attention to detail and thoughtful welcome pack.Wonderful

I've just been back to Drumhead Bothy for a 2nd visit, after staying in March of last year.

Another warm welcome from Angus & Judy and the accommodation as perfect as I remembered it. I think this place is now my post-winter break for the peace & quiet and stunning location. I'll maybe try a bit later next year to see how the peaches are doing!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Angus and Gudy's cottage!

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with the warmest welcome and genuine kindness. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and happiness throughout our stay, making us feel like part of their family. The accommodation itself was incredibly comfortable and impeccably clean, providing us with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We enjoyed spending time both inside the cozy cottage and outside in the beautiful surroundings, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. Our stay happened to coincide with Eid alfeter, and we were pleasantly surprised by Angus and Gudy's thoughtful gift to celebrate the special occasion. Their generosity and attention to detail truly made our stay unforgettable. We can't wait to return to this charming cottage and will definitely be recommending it to all our friends and family. Thank you, Angus and Gudy, for an unforgettable experience!

We had an amazing time staying at The Bothy, it’s the perfect little getaway and we just wished we had stayed longer.

The cottage is wonderfully cosy and comfortable, with everything you’d need. Our dog loved cosying up by the fire and our eight month old explored every inch, we can say it is very well baby proofed! Angus and Jude were the perfect hosts, we look forward to going back.

Angus and Judy provided an exceptional stay at Drumhead Bothy for me.

They were very caring and attentive, helping me find matches, offering more firewood, and putting fresh milk, butter, orange juice and wine in the fridge for my arrival. It was a very warm and cosy stay. Everything was clean and tidy, and I had a great night's sleep, as well as enjoying the rainfall shower. The birds outside were alive with song and it was a truly very peaceful place to be. Thank you so much for being such lovely hosts. I will be sure to recommend your bothy to anyone wishing to explore the Cairngorms or find a peaceful retreat.

Fantastic Holiday Cottage!

Dog friendly which was brilliant for us, Bailey had so much fun running around the orchard. Angus and Judy were brilliant hosts, going above and beyond to give us everything we needed for our stay. The cottage was clean, cozy and had everything in you would need. We didn't want to leave! Hope to go back again

We have just returned from having the most amazing time in this beautiful, cosy and welcoming Bothy!

Angus and Judy were the perfect hosts and looked after us above and beyond anything we could imagine! We will definitely be back as soon as we possibly can!

The Bothy is peaceful and cosy, it’s ideal for exploring or hiding away from the world to relax.

The owners are the most friendly helpful people you could wish to meet.

We had the most incredible week at The Bothy!

Angus and Judy were the perfect hosts and have created a wonderful holiday home equipped with everything you could possibly need and more. There were so many thoughtful touches which made our stay extra special. There was so much bird activity in the garden and we spent hours watching them from the window, we even saw waxwings. Highly recommend going outside on a clear night to look at the stars, they were amazing and we saw lots of shooting stars. The surrounding area is incredible and we had so many fabulous days out and didn’t want our holiday to end. We will miss this place and it will hold a dear place in our hearts, thank you so much to Angus and Judy ♥️

Absolutely perfect-Everything you need to hand, spotlessly clean,…comfortable beds….

fantastic location - lovely owners next door

Fabulous property with lovely owners.

Cottage so cosy and warm we did not need to light the fire even in November. Equipped with everything you could need and more, such a cosy place. Gardens are beautiful and it was a real treat to watch the woodpecker each day. Judy and Angus were wonderful hosts and even brought round a beautiful cake and card for my parents wedding anniversary. Before we left we were offered fruit from the orchard to take home. Fab farm shop a short walk up the road for milk and bead to save driving to Aboyne or Banchory or for brunch. We are looking forward to returning soon x

Angus and Judy are perfect hosts nothing was too much trouble the cottages was clean and comfortable a real home from home The bothy was in the perfect location for sight see in Scotland We would highly recommend the drumhead bothy as a wonderful holiday home with amazing hosts Thank you we had a fantastic time Steve ,Joanne ,and pip (boarder Collie )

Well that’s a wrap, visit No 4 for Paul and I, visit No 1 for Arthur

We had a fantastic stay at Drumhead Bothy, it felt like home away from home.

Angus and Judy made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much bother. The cottage is well equipped, warm and cosy. There’s lots to see in the area and we found some great restaurants. I would highly recommend this property it’s probably the best we’ve stayed in.

The stay was comfortable and well equipped.

The detail for extras was unexpected and well received (milk, orange juice, hand soap and shower gel). The detail was appreciated. The use of the orchard was lovely and spacious to help with the holiday relaxation. Waking to the morning song of the Robin on the front porch each day was lovely. Angus and Judy were very welcoming throughout our stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at The Bothy.

Angus and Judy are lovely and so welcoming. Great location with the farm shop/cafe within a few minute’s walk and lots of other scenic walks too. We visited Aberdeen, Banchory for the ‘Banchory Show’, Castle Fraser, Ballater, Braemar and the Strathspey Steam Railway. Balmoral is also within a half hour’s drive. The Bothy is extremely comfortable and very well equipped, we honestly can’t think of anything that was missing! Loved the beautiful garden and watching the birds. Thank you for a perfect stay!

Our stay at the Bothy exceeded our expectations!

Angus and Jude were such wonderful, hospitable hosts, the Bothy was fantastic and even better than the pictures suggested and the setting was glorious. We had a super break and very much enjoyed exploring Deeside from this amazing base. Thank you Angus and Jude!

Thank you Judy and Angus for a wonderful stay at the Bothy.

This place is so cozy and the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful countryside of Aberdeenshire. We have been to many Holiday homes, but this one was definitely our favorite so far. The bothy is decorated very nicely and has everything your need for a great stay; it feels like a home away from home. And the gardens are stunning. Host are wonderful and made sure we we had everything we needed. Cottage is also In walking distance from a farm shop with amazing food! Highly recommended!

We have stayed in holiday cottages in the UK for several years and must say that the Bothy ranks among the best.

We would be happy to arrange a return visit to this property

This a beautiful cottage in lovely surroundings.

The cottage is very well equipped and tastefully furnished. The area is great for visiting many places and for walking. The owners stay next door and are very helpful and welcoming. We will return to this cottage as we have never had a better place in all ways to stay

Lovely homely property, well kept and well equipped.

Great hosts, always happy to help.

We have just returned from a lovely short stay at Drumhead Bothy in Finzean.

We really can't fault our stay even if we tried. The Bothy is gorgeous, well-equipped, boasting incredible the surrounding hills and woodlands. With Ballater, Aboyne, and Banchory all within a 20-30 minute drive, you're spoiled for choice for places to go visit and jumping off points for incredible walks in and around the Cairngorms. Angus and Judy are lovely too - they're very close by and more than happy to help in any way they can. We're especially thankful checking in on our dog while we'd gone out for dinner and the lovely birthday card and cake we got when they learned that we were up to celebrate my husband's birthday.

A really well-equipped and comfortable home.

The bothy was immaculately clean. A very relaxing stay.

Sorry for the delay in recording our review but time has flown.

Our stay started 17 February 2023 and it was amazing. Judy and Angus were wonderful and charming in greeting us and ensuring our needs were catered for without imposing on our privacy. The accommodation was 7 stars with immaculate attention to detail for what anyone would need. (Even dog towels and rugs for those wet days). Our stay was so enjoyable we are booking to come back in September to finish climbing Mount Kean as the weather defeated us !!!

After several attempts to make it to Drumhead Bothy expectations were high, and it didn't fail to impress.

Just stepping out of the car the owners were so welcoming (& understanding of my previous cancellation / postponement). Throughout my weeks stay they were always considerate & sociable, imparting local knowledge that was greatly appreciated. The bothy itself is impeccably fitted out, the kitchen in particular is suitable for anything form a quick bite to a full roast! The view from the dining table over the hills is just a perfect start to the day - either soaking in the sun or watching the clouds rolling over the hills (neither disappoints, and changes minute by minute). And the waterfall shower is an ideal end to to a days walking round the Finzean estate and beyond. And as for sleep.... wow! A really comfortable bed & countryside peace makes a perfect combination. There is a lack of mobile signal in the area for some networks. But that's not necessarily a negative! Wi-Fi always available in the property. Thank you Angus & Judy, already looking at a return in 2024

Spectacular location close to many towns in Deeside area.

The Bothy was extremely comfortable with cosy decor and thoughtful welcome items. The scenery was breathtaking and the owners were very obliging. The only thing to be aware of is the lack of phone coverage in the area. The free wifi was very good. Would definitely recommend a stay.

Drumhead Bothy is situated in the most spectacular place with views of the mountains.

The Bothy is truly a home from home with everything you might need from the smallest detail, from the outstanding cleanliness and generosity supplied little extras. The orchar is so pretty to walk or sit for a while and there are great walks for dogs and children on the door step Our hosts were very welcoming, kind, informative and a delight to talk to, such a wonderful couple. ( and their two precious little dogs) We were a part of two with our dog and the Bothy is definitely set up well for four guests. 100% recommend Drumhead Bothy for your next stay even in the depths of a snowy time as I can assure you that you will not be cold. Lastly watching the wild birds from the huge apex window was a delight and mesmerising from early morning to late evening.

We had a wonderful week at Drumhead Bothy, Angus and Judy were the perfect hosts.

The location of the property was ideal for exploring the wider area with a fantastic farm shop minutes away. The property was spotless with extra touches which made it feel like home. Thank you for a lovely week we will definitely be back and will be recommending!

Angus and Judy made us feel very welcome.

The property was very warm and welcoming and welcome pack was a lovely surprise. Everything you needed was there the property was immaculate. Our stay was wonderful and just what we needed, would not hesitate to go back.

We had a lovely week in such a comfortable and warm 'bothy'.

Many thanks to Angus & Judy for being great hosts and we hope to be back again soonest.

My wife and I enjoyed a great holiday at Drumhead Bothy.

The property was very inviting comfortable and well equipped. The owners, Angus and Judith were very helpful in every regard. We telephoned to let them know that we would be late arriving due to the snow, and they arranged to have lights on and the wood burning stove on. We were made to feel very comfortable and really enjoyed our stay. Looking forward to our next stay. Paul & Liz

Drumhead Bothy is a hidden gem.

We had a really enjoyable week in this lovely house. Everything was first class - warm, clean, comfortable, well equipped, peaceful and relaxing. Owners, Angus and Judy, are amazing hosts and go out of their way to make sure you are happy. Great area to explore with lots of places to visit, nice walks and cafes. You certainly won't be disappointed if you decide to stay here. We look forward to returning sometime.

This was our second time staying in The Bothy.

Angus and Judy are just the absolute best. The Bothy has everything you could need and is very cozy. As long as they keep renting it out, this will be where we stay every time we come to Scotland.

Lovely cottage with Lovely owners.

Would stay there again.

A warm welcome from Angus and Judy with many personal touches in the Bothy and welcome extras.

The Bothy was cosy and very well equipped. We couldn’t have asked for a better location for our stay. A perfect base to explore Aberdeenshire and the Cairngorms National Park. A welcoming farm shop just up the road served amazing cakes. We highly recommend this cottage and hope to return. Perfect for two adults and two dogs but has an extra twin room too. Gorgeous. Thank you from Karen, Graeme, Bonnie and Dora x

Wonderful bothy, made very welcome.

Highly recommended.

Lovely clean and comfortable, hosts Angus and Judy couldn't do enough for us.

Excellent stay.

a really excellent cottage and we had a super fortnight relaxing, meeting up with family and enjoying the walks and visitor attractions in the area .

Would reccommend without hesitation. We were there in summer but imagine from the stove and the underfloor heating that it would be very comrfortable at all times of the year.

Angus and Judy great hosts the bothy and the gardens were amazing wish we had booked for a fortnight it was spacious quirky everything you could want except your food was there the welcome package was very much appreciated as we had travelled a long way and were tired when we arrived the light was marvellous so I could paint in the very large window we felt our stay at the bothy recharged us and that is priceless

Gorgeous property, perfect for a break away in beautiful Deeside.

Great facilities nearby if you don’t want to be far from good food and a decent coffee!

Superb little bothy, if your looking for a nice chilled out place for a week this is it.

Very clean and the hosts were lovely.

This cottage is just like a big warm hug, outstanding and the friendliness and generosity of the hosts could not have been better.

Our dogs had a great time running in the gardens. Highly recommend. Hope to stay there again .

Just back from our 3 week break at Drumhead Bothy and it was well worth it.

The accommodation was excellent with everything you could expect and more. If you found that it was lacking anything a quick chat with either Angus or Judy (the owners) would resolve this. They are excellent hosts and nothing is of any trouble for them, they make you feel extremely welcome and just want to make sure that you have an awesome time. There is a lovely secure garden which our pup enjoyed but be aware there is an indented pond. The views were amazing and during the 3 weeks we were there we experienced all the seasons Scotland could throw at us, we even had snow in April. This didn’t detract from our enjoyment and would definitely recommend this place to everyone. If we are ever up that far again this will definitely be our first choice of accommodation. Thank you once again Angus & Judy

Our stay at this property was worth every penny!

It was much better stocked than any place we've been to before. It was nice and bright and well laid out, everything was of a very good standard. The garden is lovely, with seating areas dotted about and perfect to sit and relax when the weather allows. Angus and Judy were very good hosts, easy to talk to and they just want you to have a really nice time while your there. We would definitely recommend this property!

A wonderfully comfortable stay in an immaculate cottage.

Beautiful views in a great location. Angus and Judy are very welcoming and can’t do enough to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

The hosts were very welcoming, property was great wit lots of extras to help us feel Christmasy .

The setting and location were perfect for us to enjoy family time and the walks in the great landscape from the door.

The Bothy was an absolute gem!

Beautifully furnished, a warm welcome, great facilities, gorgeous situation and fabulous that it is dog friendly too. We were all cosy and comfortable. I would highly recommend the property and appreciate all the personal touches and very hospitable owners. This is one of the nicest cottages we have stayed in and would love to return. Thank you so much!

We have stayed in many holiday house and this one was perfect in every way.

The owners who lived next door were so helpful, polite and kind. They offered lots of extras, help and kindness. I would love to return to this amazing holiday home. We are missing it already! Just perfect

A Great relaxed holiday.

We wanted for nothing. A Very quiet and beautiful location. A getaway with class.

Great time had by all of us.

Lovely cottage in a beautiful setting and the garden was just fabulous. Lots to do in the area.

We had a fantastic holiday at The Bothy.

The hosts were very welcoming and attentive. Lovely garden, nearby woods were great for bike rides, and farm shop 5mins walk up the road. Great place to relax!

Just a beautiful peaceful, tranquil place, we loved every minute of it.

Angus and Judy were so welcoming and made you feel right at home, could not have done any more for us.

We had a wonderful holiday at Drumhead Bothy.

Angus and Judy were excellent hosts and most attentive. The Bothy was extremely comfortable and the grounds were exquisite. We would highly recommend this accommodation to others. A great location to stay in to explore a beautiful part of Scotland.

Very comfortable cottage in a beautiful and peaceful rural setting.

The garden and birdlife was a thing of joy and beauty and Angus and Jude were generous and helpful hosts.

Wonderful hosts and lovely cottage, had everything you’d need including a complementary bottle of wine!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you

Drumhead Bothy was spotless and had everything you could possibly need.

Our dog loved playing in the orchard and our hosts were friendly and welcoming.

Absolutely brilliant stay.

Angus and Judy are lovely people and couldn’t do enough for you. Some lovely walks nearby and the restaurants we selected were amazing too. Will 100% be back at some point!

Drumhead Bothy was beyond our expectations - on the pictures it looked great, but in reality, it is a little bit of paradise!

the Bothy itself inside is beautifully decorated, most comfortable and well equipped. Outside, the garden is safely fenced which was great for our dogs, and lovely to be in as it was full of trees and bulbs. Finzean itself is a lovely wee spot with the farm shop restaurant a short walk up the road. This was one of the best weeks we have had together on holiday in the UK, and we very much enjoyed meeting the owners who live next door, but who are most respectful of space. On arrival, the fridge was stocked with some lovely things including a bottle of wine! I am sure we may be back, although I imagine this place gets booked up quickly.

This was a perfect holiday cottage in the perfect location with perfect hosts.

Never felt so relaxed in ages. The hosts were very welcoming and great company but gave us our own space too. We will be back. It’s a little piece of heaven on Earth x

Loved our stay at Drumhead Bothy.

Angus and Judy were fantastic hosts-warm and welcoming but not at all intrusive. On arrival we were pleased to see the Bothy was as cosy as we’d hoped and fantastically equipped for our week long stay. (from toilet rolls and Fairy liquid down to a welcome pack of biscuits, tea, coffee, milk, butter, bottle of wine and orange juice). There were even scented candles. Everything was so well thought out and full of heart. A real surprise was the beautiful gardens surrounding and the orchard of apple trees, which we were advised we could help ourselves to. A truly stunning part of the world for exploring too. Very relaxing and would recommend highly. We had a wonderful, relaxing stay.

Lovely place to stay and visit Deeside.

Hosts were very helpful but not intrusive.

Excellent cottage with so many little extra details to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Owners on site could not be more friendly and helpful. Excellent location and so comfortable. 5+ stars!

Good location.

Very peaceful. Good outside seating to enjoy the peace of the countryside.

The hosts were so welcoming and really lovely with our children.

Hosts, Angus and Judy are so welcoming and cannot do enough for guests.

The bothy is really homely and it is very pleasant sitting outside in the yard (a suntrap ) or the shady orchard after a good day’s walking/biking/fishing. A short walk away is the Finzean farm shop and cafe with excellent coffee, home cooked lunches and cakes as well as takeaway meals. Highly recommend Drumhead Bothy for an escape to the country but with Good amenities nearby.

Beautiful homely cottage with every comfort.

Gardens were lovely and well kept. Very peaceful location.

It's obvious that a lot of thought has gone into the facilities and the furnishing.

It ouses quality and comfort. A bedroom off a bedroom will not be ideal for some, but for a couple only using one bedroom it was a truly wonderful place to stay.

Owners of the bothy were extremely welcoming and could not make you feel any more welcome.

Beautiful cottage with everthing you could possibly need. Can't wait to go back.

Nice, clean and as described.

The Bothy is a peaceful, immaculate little place, perfect for a secluded getaway.

Angus and his wife are so hospitable, and make you feel really welcome, I matter the time of day. We really enjoyed staying at the beautiful place and will never forget it.

The property was everything I expected and more.

It was a warm, cosy property and lacking nothing in amenities. Angus and Judy, the owners of Drumhead Bothy, were lovely people and were there for us if ever we needed anything,not that we did. There is a lovely farm shop less than 5 minute walk from the property and has a very nice tearoom serving a variety of foods. Excellent walking area with fine views. There is a nice pub, The Boat Inn, which serves nice food and is about 10-15 minute drive away. Fabulous in every way except for the weather which was lousy!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay - owners had definitely thought through what was required to make the stay as comfortable as possible.

Owners stay in cottage next door and were very friendly but we're sensitive to our privacy. We appreciated the kindness they offered. This was one holiday that I would have definitely stayed on but alas had to return home. Hopefully we will return.

There is one word to describe our experience as a family booking through Sykes cottages and also the cottage at Drumhead Bothy in Scotland - SUPERB!

What a week we had - the welcome we received at the cottage by the owners was truly genuine and made us and our dog Lexy feel we had truly landed wonderful accommodation. Nothing was too much, so helpful and the cottage spotless, tastefully decorated, so clean and even treats and a blanket for Lexy - nothing was left to chance. Such nice small touches. The cottage is a 10 out of 10 score and if we were watching 'The X-Factor' we'd have pushed Simon Cowell's golden buzzer! for a Brilliant cottage stay! Thank you so much, Peter, Alex, Liam, Amelie and of course Lexy the CockaPoo!

A wonderful cottage that exceeded our expectations.

The cottage is located in a lovely part of Scotland and the hosts were really helpful land welcoming. The cottage was spotlessly clean, very well equipped and there were some nice little touches to make us feel at home. The orchard is perfect for furry friends and there are a couple of walks perfect for a dog off the lead straight from the cottage. Highly recommended!

A wonderful lodge set in beautiful surroundings with an abundance of wildlife and history!

! We are a family of four (2 x teenagers) and a lively beagle. The lodge could not be better equip as the owners really have thought of everything with lots of special touches for everyone including the dog. The owners were home in their nearby cottage and could not have been more hospitable. Lovely people. There is an orchard on the grounds, which like the rest of the property is immaculate and was ideal to walk the dog. The farm shop which is a short walk away is great for local produce and breakfast. Thank you to our hosts for making our break one to remember!
