About Gate Lodge Fasque

Nestled amongst the Aberdeenshire countryside in North East Scotland, this charming lodge is ideal for friends looking for the tranquillity and natural beauty of a rural break. Sleeping four people in two king-size bedrooms, this lodge stands proudly at the entrance to the grand Fasque House and Estate, home of the Gladstone Family.

With plenty of walks from your doorstep, you can explore the deer park, woodland and beyond, but be sure to pack your binoculars so you don’t miss the wonderful wildlife that resides here, such as deer, otters, eagles and red squirrels. The estate is situated on the outskirts of the village of Fettercairn, home to some small shops, a pub and the Fettercairn Whisky Distillery, where you can take a tour and enjoy a wee dram.

On entering, discard coats and boots in the porch before heading into the hallway. From here, the cosy lounge is to the right with an open fire – the perfect spot to snuggle on the sofa of an evening.

Heading into the kitchen/diner, you’ll find everything you need to cook up a hearty breakfast or evening meal, which can be enjoyed at the dining table. At the end of busy day, head into one of the king-size bedrooms for a good night’s sleep, both of which have feature fireplaces as a reminder of the property’s heritage.

A family bathroom completes the accommodation with a shower over the bath. The garden can be accessed from the kitchen and has dining furniture so that you can enjoy al fresco meals against the backdrop of the beautiful surroundings.

You are also welcome to explore the estate’s 400 acres. If you’re looking for an extra special break, a hot tub can be arranged at an additional cost.

Brechin Castle Centre - DD9 6RL
about 10 Miles

So much more than a garden centre this place is ideal for a fun family day out in Angus. The garden centre stocks a huge range of plants, outdoor furniture and gardening equipment and also has a café serving tasty home made meals, cakes and snacks. The site has a large outdoor play area for children an ornamental pond and country park to explore. Halloween and Bonfire night's events are coming up soon. The annual Fireworks Display is really spectacular.
