Glen Dye No 5 Steading Cottage

Plan a getaway filled with great conversation, exciting pastimes and superb company, staying with family, friends and loved ones in this stylish holiday home. Set on a peaceful farm in the heart of Aberdeenshire, the property is perfectly positioned for exploring Royal Deeside, Scotland’s east coast (20 miles) and the breathtaking Cairngorms National Park (12 miles).

Discover the coastline from the picturesque town of Stonehaven (20 miles), home to a lively harbour, pristine beach, Olympic-sized open-air seawater pool and the dramatic ruins of Dunnottar Castle. The vibrant city of Aberdeen is also within easy reach (25 miles), offering culture, shopping and excellent dining opportunities.

Closer to home, Banchory (8.5 miles) provides local amenities, scenic riverside walks along the River Dee and easy access to Crathes Castle (12 miles) and Drum Castle (16 miles). This beautifully renovated stone-built holiday home has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of its space, with stylish interiors and carefully chosen details throughout.

The spacious hallway leads into the open-plan kitchen/diner - a sociable space made for entertaining. Gather beneath the striking gallery wall to enjoy long breakfasts, leisurely lunches and relaxed evening meals prepared in the spacious, well-equipped kitchen.

Just next door, a step leads up into the inviting lounge, where plush seating surrounds the warming glow of a wood burner. In keeping with the property’s laid-back atmosphere, there’s no TV here - instead, guests are encouraged to unwind with board games, music from the record player and good conversation.

Superb Wi-Fi is still available for those wanting to stay connected. Each of the four bedrooms has been individually styled with rich tones, antique-inspired furnishings and soft linens.

On the ground floor, you’ll find a king-size bedroom and a twin room, alongside a bright and contemporary family bathroom. Upstairs, accessed via the main hallway staircase, are the remaining two bedrooms - a second king-size and a cosy single - served by an additional family bathroom flooded with natural light from Velux windows.
