Modern Rural Cottage for 2-6 people

A Modern Cottage with double height glazed gable end giving stunning views of the countryside. Set on a croft of 50 acres this is a quiet and relaxing rural location. Keith, with good local butchers, bakers and supermarket is only 4 miles with a village shop in Newmill for milk and a paper only 1 mile. A good location for exploring the castles and distilleries of the north east and easy driving distance to the coast for the beautiful beaches and dolphin watching.

Private, Gorgeous Scottish Country Retreat
Beautiful home away from home in the country. Gorgeous Scottish scenery out every window. A great private location with a fully stocked kitchen etc. If you are coming from abroad be prepared for a short narrow drive from the nearest town but we'll worth it. We were sad to leave..

Quiet, modern, light country retreat
The upper sitting room suited the teenagers well. There were a few dead flies but otherwise clean. The owners responded quite quickly regarding the few problems that arose. The wood burning stove heated the sitting area very well. The views through the triple glazed gable end were stunning.

Fantastic, peaceful stay
Absolutely wonderful stay. The house was as described, perched on a hill, with a wonderful view of the surrounding fields. We enjoyed coming back after a long days of sightseeing, lighting the fire and just relaxing. The house had everything we could need except a hairdryer (three women with no hair dryer was entertaining but we managed). Communication with the owner was perfect and the instructions for the house and directions to find it were great. We really completely enjoyed our stay and it was a highlight of our visit to Scotland. Would stay again in a heartbeat if we should visit the area again.

Absolutely stunning and a home away from home
I don’t know where to start with this property. From start to finish it was an absolute dream. The location is idyllic. Yes it’s off the main road a bit but easily accessible by taxis and the like. We had a hire car so no issues there. The views are breathtaking and the house has everything you’ll need. The best thing was that we felt totally at ease with our two year old running around outside in the fully fenced yard - even inside the house, it was child friendly without any sacrifices made to the classy look of the house. My granny (from the local town in Keith) absolutely loved visiting and sitting looking out to the Knock where she was born. We will forever remember the chats around the fireplace. And to top it off the house was well priced and the owners were so fantastic to communicate with. We ended up extending our stay! Thanks so much for sharing this lovely home we will definitely be back!

This is a really lovely property - loved the open plan living room and the floor to ceiling windows. We enjoyed the garden birds - skylarks, meadow pipits, pied wagtails and swallows! The house is very well equipped, bed was very comfortable. Very relaxing getaway!

Fantastic barn
Wow, what a wonderful holiday. We just spent 10 days at the barn and it was amazing!!! Such a beautiful, comfy home with everything you can think of inside, the owners have gone the extra mile. We fell in love with it the moment we stepped inside and the views and location were so fabulous that we didn’t want to leave. We visited the local coastal town of Cullen quite often for some beautiful coastal walks and we ate in a lovely restaurant there called the Seafield arms, it was so good that we booked it 4 times!!!! We would highly recommend this gorgeous barn to everyone and we will definitely be returning. We loved every minute of our stay.

Lovely holiday home in beautiful countryside
Unfortunately, after a very long journey a lack of communication with the property manager to ascertain entry details, ( they had not been uploaded onto the website by the time of arrival and numerous phone calls not responded to,), resulted in a long delay in being able to gain access. Enquiring at several neighbouring properties, we were eventually able to acquire alternative contact details for the owner. However, once access was gained, the property was excellent, light and spacious, with beautiful views of the surrounding countryside and very well equipped. A slight downside was raer feeble showers but otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great relaxing house.
The house has everything you need and is very comfortable. The area is absolutely lovely. We most enjoyed the coastal walks where we were privileged to watch dolphins on a few occasions, including the day they were showing off to some paddle boarders. Some lovely food in the small fishing villages. Oh, my hubby sat on evening at the house and watched two badgers in the garden, something we don’t see at home.

Superb house in a great location
Really lovely and well appointed house in a v.quiet place but well located for getting to everything. Fantastic views at night down the valley from outside and inside the house. Only minus thing is a lack of WiFi with a patchy 4g - but that's no major thing if you're trying to switch off.

October break
Lovely property and very nicely equipped. It had everything you need. Ideally located for morayshire coastline and the whisky trail. The property was never cold but we could not get the heating to the bedrooms or bathrooms despite having the stove on full. The property also had 2 dimplex heaters which proved adequate in October. May benefit from wifi as 4G service was patchy. Would definitely return again.

Great week back again for the second time in three months. Lovely spacious property - the log burner got plenty use this time round. Great base to chill out and explore the local beaches or just enjoy the tranquillity at the property itself. Not ruling out visit number three...

Never usually leave reviews but this place warrants an exception. The photographs don’t do it justice. The whole setting, house and particularly the main living/dining/kitchen area are completely spectacular. Straight out of Grand Designs. Local area dotted with lovely coastal harbour towns, but the house is so good, you’d never need to leave. The main town, Keith, has everything for gathering supplies to hunker down. Any negatives are minor and hardly worth mentioning. Comfy seat in front of that wood fire, and that colossal window. Bliss. Just go.
