Garden Studio Reviews

This was our second visit a lovely property with everything you could wish for and perfect hosts. Hope we can return again in the future
What a wonderful stay at the 'Garden Studio', placed in the quiet countryside of Aberdeenshire it did not disappoint. The cottage was spotless, held everything we needed for our stay, with the lovely welcome pack fudge amazing to the wonderful welcome from Sheila and Allan. Highly recommended.
Matthew
We had a wonderful stay at Garden Cottage. It had everything we needed and the added luxury of a hot tub, just what was required after a long cycle ride or a day hiking in the mountains. It's central location helped us explore the area, and if required we could have popped down to the village of Insch to catch a train to Aberdeen but it never rained so we didn't utilise this option. I will definitely consider returning here for another week to explore more pockets and hidden treats in Aberdeenshire and Morayshire.
Can't think of anything else the Garden Studio requires to enhance our stay. That along with the warm reception that we always get makes it first class.
Graham
The owners have gone above and beyond to make this property a home from home. It was immaculate and very well equipped. Sheila and Alan welcomed us and there was a fantastic welcome pack too.
Sheila and Alan were lovely hosts and very welcoming,The Garden Studiois a stunning property,very clean and had everything and more you could possibly need.

Maciej
So happy we chose Garden Studio for our week holiday Aberdeenshire. The accommodation was well equipped, beautifully furnished, cosy, clean and tidy. It was very relaxing to spend our afternoons sitting on the porch or in the hot tub and enjoy the views to the nearby hills of Bennachie and Dunnydeer. We found the location to be very convenient for visiting the local historical towns and attractions. Owners Sheila and Allen were very welcoming and included a basket of tasty treats in the kitchen on our arrival. We whole heartedly recommend Garden Studio!!!
Cynthia
This was our second stay at Garden Cottage. Once again Sheila and Allan made us very welcome. Highly recommend this stunning cottage for a holiday. It's spotlessly clean and comfortable and very well equipped with everything you need.

We had a wonderful stay at Garden Studio. It far exceeded our expectations as it was situated in a stunning location and was well equipped with everything we needed throughout our stay. It was spotlessly clean, extremely comfortable and felt very homely. Sheila and Alan made us feel very welcome. We would definitely recommend staying here.
This little house is outstanding in both its cleanliness and comfort. It has everything you could ever need for a quiet break away from it all. Sheila and Allan went above and beyond to help with anything at all, nothing was too much trouble for them. The scenery was fantastic, and to be able to sit and relax in the hot tub was just perfection. The Garden Studio is a credit to you both so keep up the good work and high standards, you both deserve a pat on thew back. Thanks! for everything, including your home grown potatoes, they were delicious! Mary and Jim, from Fife.
Garden Studio was perfect for our stay. The property was very well equipped. Comfortable and super clean. The owners were lovely and available if you needed them. Would definitely stay at Garden Studio if visiting the area again.

An absolute fabulous studio. We've never stayed anywhere with as many extras. Everything you could possibly need and more...The owner has put in everything she would expect in a holiday home, and it shows. Lovely cosy studio. Great views. Super comfortable. It snells fresh as soon as you open the door. Lovely, bright and warm. Luxury toiletries. Plenty of lovely fluffy towels. Great base for exploring the area. The owners are lovely. Ultimate luxury..... absolutely perfect in every way.
Wonderful stay at garden studio.

Second visit and we were not disappointed. We had a great time and Sheila and Alan were fantastic. We would definitely recommend the Garden Studio to family and friends.
Melanie
What a wonderful hideaway. Can not fault anything regarding the Garden Studio, everything has been thought of. It is situated excellently for visiting the Cairngorms, especially Balmoral and Ballater. Thank you Sheila and Allan for the welcome package and for making a memorable Scottish stay.
This is a really special property. Very clean. Very well maintained. Very well appointed. We had a lovely time finding nice walks during the day and coming home to soak in the hot tub with its excellent views.
This is the best cottage we have stayed in by far, the quality of the build and the little thoughtful touches were outstanding. Super clean and a lovely welcome pack including some homemade fudge which was superb. Lovely views and surrounding area. Would love to return and would highly recommend.
Katelyn
Just wow, Sheila and Allan went above and beyond and really set the bar extremely high for expectations! We travelled from StokeonTrent and honestly, it was so worth the 400 mile drive each way. The whole time spent at the property we couldnt believe we had found somewhere so perfect that felt so much like home. Spent most of the week deciding when were coming back and it took us a whole 10 hours from leaving to book up with Sheila and Allan again! Thank you so much to both of you for an amazing week away! See you next year
Steven

Garden studio is by far one of the best hot tub getaways I have ever been on, it was so clean comfortable, the care package on arrival was just perfect, the house was so clean aswell and the hot tub was perfect to just sit in the middle of nowhere and watch the world go by, also Allan and Sheila are just the nicest people available if you need anything, and Sheilas fudge is to die for and if your wanting a good steak then I would recommend the special evening menu from porterhouse steak house in Inverurie Thank you again for a wonderful start for 2024 Sam and Stephen
Rachel
We had a wonderful time during our stay that was made even better by how lovely the owners were. We had some trouble getting to the property during some bad weather but Alan and Sheila went above and beyond to assist us and make sure we had a brilliant stay. Would absolutely rebook and recommend to others, the cabin itself was nicely decorated and very clean.
Andrew
Fantastic property with lovely owners who made us feel welcome and treated us so well. We had been looking forward to this and it did not disappoint. Highly recommend
This property was absolutely beautiful and had no faults whatsoever. Sheila and Allan were so friendly and have created such a beautiful holiday home. I look forward to coming back.
Me and my partner went to Garden studio for a relaxing weekend and we were absolutely baffled at how clean, well kept, exquisitely decorated the place was! The owners also gave us a basket full of goodies including some delicious home made toffee fudge which also included the recipe which both me and my partner found absolutely amazing!. The hot tub was clean and warm with beautiful scenery to enjoy while relaxing. The place provided all the basic amenities including spices and toilet roll and towels, fluffy bathrobes and flip flops. The whole place also had an amazing floral scent when we first walked in and Sheila and her husband the owners, took the time to welcome us and make us feel at home and told us how to use the hut tub and were available in case we needed anything across the duration of our stay. Overall an amazing experience!
Olivia
