Cross the threshold and head straight into the open-plan living space where you can snuggle up on the sofas whilst listening to the gentle crackling of the woodburning stove while the designated chef of the group cooks up a storm in the fully-equipped kitchen. Later, retire to the separate sitting room for where you can delve into a good book while watching the sun disappear through the French doors or alternatively step outside to indulge in a soothing soak in the bubbling hot tub and watch on as the stars fill the sky.

There is also a desk in the sitting room ideal for remote workers.

Alternatively venture to the coast where you can spot seals on Newburgh Seal Beach or admire the swells of North Sea lapping at the golden shores at Balmedie Beach while your beloved canine companion roams freely.
