Newseat

Great home.

Well resourced regarding crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils. These were appropriate for the number of people that could stay at this accommodation.

The property was amazing and we had a lovely time there.

The one thing i believe would of made it even better would of been a BBQ.

This was our fifth visit to Newseat and provides for an excellent relaxing country setting.

Wonderful views with cow herds close by. Webhave really enjoyed ourbtimevat Newseat and have an excellent relationship with the owner Ann.

Newseat is a beautiful house overlooking open farmland.

The house is spacious, was very clean and comfortable and very well equipped for our party of 8 adults, 2 children plus dog. A minor blip with the central heating was attended to promptly after we arrived. The garden is well kept with grassed areas, lots of spring flowers and a large off road parking area. Communication with the owner was great with advice about arranging a grocery delivery from a supermarket in Huntly, nearest fuel stations and a great wee local shop. A short walk takes you to the start of the Tap o' Noth walk, and other walks (in both forest and on hills) are easy to drive to. There are some lovely coastal walks and beaches not too far away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Newseat is a fantastic property.

Lovely and cosy with a real homely feel, which is exactly what we look for. Nice and spacious even though it accommodates a large number of people. The kitchen was very well equipped, which again is a huge plus for us, as we do like to cook while we are away. And it was also fantastic value. For us as a group, we couldn't fault it.

Newseat is amazing!

We had a great weekend. Everything we needed was there, so comfortable it was a home from home.

Had a great stay here, house was clean and had everything we needed.

Great location and owner very accommodating and helpful, we had christmas trees up and decorated .Would highly recommend this lovely farmhouse and would definitely book again.Many thanks

The property is exactly as described.

Excellent condition. Very spacious. Very clean and has everything you could need. We had a wonderful time there.

Had a fantastic week at Newseat with family.

The house is absolutely stunning and very well equipped for our party of 12. The scenery is wonderful, location was just what we wanted, peace and relaxation. Amenities about 10 minutes away by car in Huntly where you can find anything you need. Would definitely recommend Newseat, and will most certainly return. Not a complaint but more an improvement on such high quality accommodation:- a bbq would be ideal, and perhaps another bath in downstairs bathroom. Massive thankyou to the owners of Newseat

Beautiful clean comfortable well maintained accommodation.

Well stocked cupboards, utensils and cookware. I missed not having a waste bin in the bathroom but that did not detract from the holiday. The children and dog appreciated the large well maintained garden although the swings were a bit loose and unsafe. For rest and relaxation Newseat is ideal.

We had a blast - the house was huge and had everything you could possible need.

It was clean and modern inside but still a traditional old Scottish house - kids loved it and we had a bunch of friends with us - plenty of room.

This was our fourth time at Newseat.

A lovely location for relaxing or to tour around the area, which is also very attractive. The owner makes every effort to ensure that everyone has an enjoyable stay in great comfort.

We were very spoilt with this property, it had everything we needed as well as being beautiful.

The owners were very friendly and helpful when we needed to contact them

This was a really comfortable property - a great size for the 10 of us staying there to celebrate a family birthday.

We all thought it was one of the most well-equipped properties that we'd stayed in. The photos don't do it justice! A great location too in the lovely Aberdeenshire countryside - we never had to travel too far.

Fabulous house, fabulous location, couldn’t ask for any more.

We’ll definitely be back.

This was our third year at Newseat.

A relaxing quiet area which is a real attraction. We have met the owner before and have a good relationship. Will start looking at next year shortly.

Absolutely stunning home in beautiful surroundings.

The beds were the comfiest we've ever slept in, even the children stayed in their own beds all night! Everything is catered for and we met the owners who were lovely and so helpful. I'm sure it is somewhere we will visit again. Perfect for big groups x

Beautiful big house.

Perfect for our needs. Would definetly stay here again

Lovely property, amazing views, very comfortable clean and well appointed, garden spacious and very well maintained, mixed group of friends who all loved it

Accurate ad, good accommodation, a bit far from different activities but considering that it accommodated so many people good solution.

Will book again!

A lovely house…well equipped, warm and cosy feel.

Beautiful countryside views, plenty space for our large family.

Beautiful, spacious house, with beautiful views, which was spotlessly clean, well equiped and ideal for our large family gathering.

Plenty bathrooms and plenty space to chill out. Loved the wood burners which made the house cosy and relaxing. Felt remote but was in fact in easy distance of shops etc if needed. Added bonus of meeting the owner who explained some of the history of the house.

The house was fantastic.

Great views and spacious for 3 families to share. We thought the house was very well equipped for cooking. A good number of baths and showers and 2 comfy places to relax meant that there was space for everyone.

Lovely house in pretty location.

Very comfortable for 2 families sharing.

We had a really lovely stay at Newseat.

The house was spacious, yet cosy at the same time with log burners in the dining room and living room. Our family enjoyed gathering in the dining space on the sofas around the fire while dinner was being made, while the kids loved the window seats. The kitchen was really well equipped with everything you could need for cooking. The garden was great, perfect for the kids to run around and play. Newseat was located in a great spot for visiting the surrounding area. I would definitely recommend a visit to Aberlour for lunch at The Gather’n, food was great and the staff were really lovely.

Bath towels a bit thin - but it's the end of the season.

The bike store had a massive BBQ in so couldn't be used.

newseat property was very clean and big with everything you could need and more and the property its self has a lovey garden perfect to relax in we would love to stay again.

Excellent large property which is situated in stunning Aberdeenshire countryside .

Private gardens which look onto rolling fields and various wildlife. The house is well equipped with everything you need and easily accommodates 3 families. We had a wonderful holiday and will be booking again soon to further explore this beautiful part of the country. Thanks .

A very relaxing holiday, two weeks this time, and met the owner for a good chat.

Plenty of accommodation with excellent views all round, even the skylight for a view of the hill behind, to add to the ambience. All appliances worked well but we always take our own coffee machine to cottage/farmhouse holidays! There was a coffee machine in the house though.

This house has exceeded our expectations!

It's simply stunning with a lot of detail and perfect for a large gathering.

Everyone enjoyed their week here at Newseat - found the accommodation very comfortable and well equipped.

Lovely to have the woodburner.

Absolutely fantastic holiday!

Beautiul house - didn't want to leave. Thanks for letting us rent here - would love to come back. There was lots to do for adults and children and Oscar the dog.

Fantastic stay in a beautiful and comfortable house.

Was a lovely way to celebrate a 40th birthday. Children loved playing hide and seek throughout the house. Loved the scenery and would definitely recommend to amily and friends!

Excellent accommodation, beautiful location, fun had by all.

Kids loved being able to roam throughout the house as well as the surrounding gardens. Would recommend Newseat to friends and family for future holidays. Thanks for the wine and shortbread - a really lovely touch!

Very nice house in a beautiful location - hope to come back someday!

I enjoyed sitting on the window seats looking nout of the window and reading by the fire. Very comfy bed and bean bags!

Great weekend - lovely weather, immaculate house, comfortable beds.

Everything we could ask for - 17 - 85 year old - everyone enjoyed it!

I would like to say that my family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this wonderful property.

The house is beautiful and contained everything we could possibly have needed, it was clean, comfortable, and extremely cosy with the two wonderful log burners and a generous supply of logs to keep us going! The location is fabulous with the most beautiful scenery from every window, what more could we have wanted! We met the owner Anne on the morning of our departure and she seemed to be a very nice lady. I will certainly be looking to book again in the future with LHH as browsing your website I have already spotted a few possible places to stay in the future. Many thanks for your service Fabulous house in a beautiful location! We spent a wonderful week with family celebrating Johns 60th Birthday, the house was everything we could have wished for, warm and cosy with wonderful log burners and comfy beds. A great time was had by all, we hope to return one day!

We would very much like to recommend this property.

Excellent with beautiful views. Accommodation had everything you need and was clean and beautifully presented. We will return. Kathryn

We stayed in Newseat in June 2021 and we had a wonderful holiday.

The house was far larger than it looked in the photos. There was one twin bedroom downstairs with an ensuite and all the other bedrooms were upstairs. This house was the best equipped house we have stayed in, with everything you could imagine in the kitchen. The 2 fires were wonderful and the garden was fully enclosed which was perfect for our two 4 year olds. I was lucky enough to meet the owner Anne who was lovely and had lots of great suggestions. We walked to the top of Tap O Noth (even the 4 year olds) which rewarded us with amazing views. We shall definitely return to Newseat with another 2 families as there is so much space for everyone.

We had a fabulous holiday in this lovely secluded farm house, sitting in the middle of acres of farmland.

The house was spacious and had the mod cons needed for a large family holiday. It is a great location for exploring the countryside and east coast.

We had a wonderful week in Newseat.

House is very well supplied for self catering. Beds all comfy and plenty space for 4 generations to enjoy. Would highly recommend.

We booked Newseat for a long awaited summer holiday of three family groups.

The place was immaculate, kitchen very well equipped which was great for us as we mostly cooked and ate in. The large dining table created a lovely central hub and we thought the dining space worked really well. There were plenty of bathrooms, comfortable beds, cosy furnishings: generally a great large country house that didn’t ever feel like a squeeze or that anyone got a short straw with the bedrooms. The location is quite simply stunning. The view from this house is astonishing, we were lucky enough to have wonderful weather and just sitting in the front garden surveying the terrain was a special treat. Our host was very accommodating and allowed one of our party in early to drop off luggage. Plenty to see and do in the surrounding area: we loved the falcon centre at Huntly, Leith Castle gardens, a trip to Aberdeen and the world class art gallery, trips to Findlatter and Sandend beach and fabulous drives to Ballater, the Cairngorms and Findhorn. Good for Pictish relics and circles as well as Tap’o North fort which you can climb and sits majestically just behind the house. We would love to return.

Newseat is a fabulous house.

Really well equipped and in a great location for exploring this part of Aberdeenshire. We had two teenage boys with us and found plenty to keep them occupied within an hour of the house. Go ape in Banchory(45mins) Lochter outdoor Centre( in Oldmeldrum30mins) & TheNordic Ski Centre in Huntly(15mins) are all great places to spend an afternoon. The bike trails at Glenlivet are within an hour and if Whisky is your thing Speyside is easily accessible! Huntly has a must visit butchers for all foodies in Forbes Raeburn, fabulous selection of local produce- the Sirloin Steaks were amazing! and really friendly staff. The local shop in Rhynie run by Sandy & his wife is well stocked and has beautiful fresh bakery everyday so if you don’t feel like going anywhere you can always get something here and if you just want to chill in front of the fire the house is perfect for relaxing with two lovely areas so the kids can have there own space. Ann the owner couldn’t have been more helpful and for anyone considering this area I couldn’t recommend highly enough! A fabulous stay look forward to returning in the future the Maclennan’s.
