Great place to stay everything you need in the cottage was though of. Super clean and comfortable, great place to stay for peace and quiet.Shame the bridge to Aboyne is closed if you need to go there there is about an eight mile detour.Great place for the dog lovely garden with ample room, shame about the ticks he picked up but the cottage provided a great tick remover which was used plenty of times.Overall a great stay.

This was a hidden gem. It was very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. The area was peaceful and tranquil close to Aboyne centre. We particularly loved watching wild life such as Deer, red squirrels and Jays visiting the garden. Our dog Koby had the best time exploring the local walks and swimming in the river Dee. We would definitely return.

We spent a week here. A very comfortable cottage equipped with everything you could need. Garden was perfect for the dog and we spent quite some time in the dining room watching the various birds on the feeders in the garden and the occasional visit from the resident red squirrel.
