The cottage has been tastefully furnished offering stylish and very comfortable accommodation for couples seeking a relaxing break away.

Fishing on the Dee, pony trekking at nearby Glentanar Estate and golf at The Aboyne Golf Club, or The Aboyne Loch, splendid walking in the outstanding highland scenery of Deeside, not to mention skiing in winter at the Lecht and Glenshee – an easy drive from the cottage – all within easy reach, there is something to do whatever time of the year. After a day out exploring come back to this little haven of peace and relax in the garden or toast your toes in front of the wood burner on cooler days. Absolute bliss!

Our 2nd visit to Cedar Cottage. We love the property which has the lounge upstairs with view over the village green. We wanted for nothing. The kitchen is fully equiped with a breakfast bar and a dining table. Comfortable seating in the lounge. A short walk brings you to the shops and cafes and the local supermarket. Strachans is like Dr Who's tardis. Everything you need under the one roof and a great whisky selection.Ballater, Banchory and Balmoral are all within a short drive away

We loved the accommodation, looked attractive from the outside and it was good on the inside too. Having the living room on the 1st floor works admirably. Parking was more than adequate. Well equipped for two people. Heating (surprisingly needed in the middle of June for a couple of days!) easy to control, and then with better weather, there's a great place to sit outside. Good views out over the green. We very much appreciated the welcome package left for us. Aboyne is a lovely place with good shops - butcher, baker, groceries and general store, well stocked co-op, newsagent and a great pub with cask ales and good food.Good walks nearby and further afield.Our only very minor complaint is that we found the bed a bit on soft side, but we realise that's a very individual thing!

This cottages raises the standard of holiday cottages. It is so sleek and comfortable. The view from the living room picture window is exceptional. The heating easy to use and each room can be individually set. The whole house is generous in space and comfort. The town has all the amenities that one needs all in walking distance. Access to the cairngorms is easy. We had a super week.
