Lovely cottage with plenty of luxurious touches. Welcomed with chocolates qnd fresh flowers on windowsill. Beds were very comfortable. Everything supplied in kitchen. Even our dog was catered for with dog bowls. Only 5 minutes walk from the main street in Banchory which was very handy as we don't drive.

A wonderful property in a beautiful location.
A wonderful property in a beautiful location. It has everything in it that you would need for your stay. Easy to walk into town where there’s a good bus service and some really interesting little shops as well as a good butcher and bakery. Short drive (or bus ride )to either Morrisons or Tesco for a bigger shopping.The Deeside Way footpath passes the door and there’s lovely waymarked walks up Scolty Hill. There’s an abundance of booklets in the cottage giving ideas for walks or visits. You could walk from the house to nearby hotel and cafes for meals and the cottage also supplied a range of menus for local takeaways. Definitely a property I’d book again.
