Step into Aberdeenshire’s rich history with a stay in this former country inn, now transformed into a stylish five-star holiday home offering exceptional comfort for friends, couples, and families alike. Surrounded by rolling hills and ancient woodlands, this detached retreat invites guests to embrace nature, enjoy wildlife spotting, and discover some of east Scotland’s most captivating scenery.
Just 7 miles away lies Banchory, the picturesque “Gateway to Royal Deeside”, with the River Dee flowing gently through the town. Visit the Falls of Feugh (5.5 miles), a beautiful series of waterfalls on the town’s outskirts, explore Crathes Castle and Gardens (10 miles), or enjoy a round at Banchory Golf Club beside the river (6.5 miles).
The property also sits around 12 miles from the edge of the Cairngorms National Park, where hiking, mountain biking, and hill walking opportunities are plentiful. In the opposite direction, the vibrant coastal city of Aberdeen is just 24 miles away.
This charming stone-built farmhouse retains much of its original character while incorporating tasteful contemporary updates throughout. The welcoming interior begins in the hallway, which leads to the lounge, kitchen, and separate dining room.
In the lounge, soft sofas and armchairs are arranged around an open fire, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. With no TV in the property, guests are encouraged to enjoy board games, good conversation, or the record player and its curated selection of vinyl records.
The kitchen is a beautifully designed space for cooking, complete with quality worktops, a range of appliances, and lovely garden views to enjoy while preparing meals. A separate utility room provides laundry facilities and a convenient downstairs WC, while the dining room sits adjacent to the kitchen, offering a dedicated space for shared meals and gatherings.
Upstairs, three beautifully styled bedrooms provide restful accommodation, including two king-size rooms and one twin bedroom. Each has been thoughtfully decorated in rich, deep tones with soft, cosy bedding.
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.
