Spotlessly clean cottage. Just perfect! Everything you needed. Loved the decor & design. Great for our two small dogs. A generously filled Welcome basket greeted us on arrival. Sat outside in the evening sun with a cuppa beside the beautiful river Deveron.. Sun shone every day for April & reached 20 degress! Walked The Cairngorms & Loch an Eilien ,Read more Bought fresh fish from Portsoy & walked the forest at Culvin to the waters edge. The roads are excellent to tour around Aberdeenshire. Hide

We loved the peaceful setting for this cottage. It was beautifully presented, comfortable, warm, modern and homely. Our dog was also very happy, we think the under floor heating was great for him.

Extremely well presented cottage in an excellent situation.As our weather was not particularly nice the underfloor heating was a boon as was the log fire. Nice relaxing stay with pleanty eateries within a ten mile radius.

Beautiful cottage in rural location which was still well located for day trips. Craftsmanship in the cottage renovation is second to none. Walks along the river and sightings of the osprey were a highlight. Perfect getaway with family.

Fabulously equipped cottage away from it all on the River Deveron. Highly recommend. The photos don't do it justice.

A lovely well appointed cottage in beautiful surroundings. Ideal for those wanting away from it all as the nearest town is seven miles.
