Why they chose this property

A very cosy Cottage in traditional style in a peaceful location within the Cairngorms National park that has been sympathetically renovated to provide a comfortable accommodation for up to 4 persons.

What makes this property unique

The cottage
The cottage is accessible to the diverse scenic areas within the Cairngorms National Park, yet in a secluded area. It has an elevated position overlooking Glenbuchat and the Ladder Hills. It has a lovely garden front and rear and a Summer House available for guests to use when the weather is fine. The location has diverse wildlife that can be seen from the Cottage itself.

Walking and climbing
The ridge of the Ladder Hills is accessible directly from the Cottage without the need for driving. Ben Newe is close by. The diverse range of walking and climbing opportunities in the Cairngorms National Park are generally within 30 to 90 minutes’ drive from the Cottage.

Mountain biking and Cycling
Mountain biking is available in the local area but there are several excellent facilities within an easy drive

There are specific facilities in Aberdeenshire and purpose built trails are available in the Glenlivet estate (about 45 minutes by car on the other side of the Ladder Hills from Glenbuchat).

Whisky
Scotland is malt whisky country and many distilleries offer guided tours and tasting sessions. The world renowned Royal Lochnagar Distillery in Crathie, the Glenfiddich Distillery in Dufftown and the Tomintoul Glenlivet Distillery in Ballindalloch are under an hour’s drive away.

The NorthEast Coast
A trip to the coast is definitely worth considering - just over an hour to the nearest coastal areas. Aberdeenshire has a long and very diverse coastal region with distinctive villages and beautiful sandy beaches.

Castles and historic buildings
A large number of castles are dotted about the North East of Scotland. With over 260 castles, stately homes and ruins dotting its landscape, Aberdeenshire is said to have more castles per acre here than anywhere else in the UK. VisitScotland suggests that you can discover 19 of the most famous and dramatic castles in Aberdeenshire on Scotland's Castle Trail.
