What our customers say about their holidays

  The accommodation was in an ideal position to tour the interesting Castles, Country houses, and scenic Beaches in Aberdeenshire.

  It's located minutes away from an entrance to the beautiful Aden Country Park and Leo our little Frenchie loved his long walks in it every day we were there. The park has excellent play areas for kids and an enclosed dog agility area where we could let Leo off the lead and he enjoyed that a lot. The accommodation itself was even better than the description with a very large open plan area incorporating Kitchen, Dining and Living room. The kitchen has all the utilities (fridge, freezer, dishwasher cooker) that you need to cater for the whole family. The living area has a good sized HD television with Freeview Play and there are plenty of games around to keep kids happy. A dog bed was provided which our Leo preferred to his own bed and he loved the present of a little stuffed animal that was left for him. Both bedrooms were a good size with comfortable beds and there is a good sized Bathroom with a large shower. A small utility room by the entrance to the property has a sink and a good-quality washer dryer. Should we return to the area in the future we wouldn't hesitate to book The Hayloft for our stay

  We were blessed with very good weather making Bannatyne Lodge even more enjoyable.

  It's very airy and the lounge is very comfortable. Enclosed, private garden at the back, morning sunshine front and back, but plenty of shade can be found at the back in the afternoon. You can be straight out of the gate and onto a number of paths, ideal for dog walking. Or, you are on the western outskirts of the Sidlaw Hills and with Pitlochry and Braemar being just over an hour's drive away you are in a good location for more serious hill walking. Newtyle itself, a small, quiet friendly village, small well stocked post office / general shop ( bigger supermarkets, 20 minutes drive away), award winning butchers ( Piries, 'World Champion' pies and sausages!) and small, clean, friendly pub, The Commercial with good 'join in' acoustic music sessions, Wednesday nights. Andrea and Peter, owners of the Lodge, very friendly, considerate, helpful but very respectful too of your privacy. Our thanks to them. Overall, Bannatyne Lodge a wonderful place to stay for a quiet, relaxed holiday on the outskirts of a village which is a great place for easier local walks but with easy access to coast and mountain.

  The cottage we stayed in - Douglas Fir - was comfortable and cosy, important as we arrived during a cold March.

  The facilities within the cottage; heating, log fire, hot water, kitchen facilities etc were already setup for us so we had nothing to do but just unpack and start exploring the countryside. It was clear the cottage(s) are kept to a very high standard of cleanliness between guests - even allowing that dogs are allowed. A couple of times we needed extra fire logs but this was sorted within minutes by Adam. All in all we had a very welcome break here and would thoroughly recommend to anyone. Adam and Leanne are always around and on hand in case there are any issues which - to be honest - we didn't have. Highland Cottages generally is a great jumping off point to explore the Highlands and their close proximity to the A9 is actually an advantage if you want to go further afield than the local walks (a stone marking the centre of Scotland is within easy walking distance). The surroundings are stunning enough that you could even stay the whole day around the cottage and just enjoy the views.

  The cottage is situated in a very charming and remote part of the village which ensures that you feel completely immersed in the countryside and local walks are literally a stones throw from the cottage.

  There are some lovely touches within the cottage making it feel homely as well as cosy, we did indulge in the wood burning stove which was a favourite of ours. Taking into consideration the current Covid-19 situation our host was very careful to ensure everything was done at a distance and they were not intrusive at all, despite being only at the end of the driveway if we did need them. Considering current climes we did find the lack of a fridge freezer, or indeed a stand alone freezer slightly limiting in that we needed to do a shop everyday as we were not able to dine out in the local area, equally as we did all our cooking for the week in the cottage the hob was rather dated and without markings, rather confusing to work, however, the oven was super. A few minor updates to the kitchen would make this a 10 out of 10 for us. We could not fault anything else, even the sun shone most of the week!

  What a fantastic property.

  We loved every aspect of The Hayloft. We especially liked the dog friendly touches such as leaving us a dog toy, on the supplied dog bed. We brought our own bed with us but the dog ignored it for the one supplied by the owners of The Hayloft. The location is remote enough to be quiet & you feel very out of the way, but the Aden Country Park is literary accessed across the road. We spent most of the week in the park as the beaches at Cruden Bay & Peterhead were struggling with avian flu. The local shop was a few minutes drive away & could be walked to through the Country Park if preferred. I highly recommend The Hayloft & only wish we owners had not been away (Seattle USA) during our stay as I would like to have expressed my thanks personally. Awesome place & we would not hesitate to revisit or recommend to others. Thank you.
