Cottage in nice location close to Aboyne, lovely views across the loch and on to the golf course, a lot of road traffic at the back of the house, out all day so didn’t bother us, one other thing welcome pack was the worst I’ve ever encountered 3 Kit Kats 2 packets of crisps for the money we paid I expected a little better even a bottle of milk would have been nice, but hey ho they are not obliged to give a welcome pack just remember to take ur tea coffee and milk otherwise nice holiday

Lovely and very well equipped house and the deck area fabulous. Very big so lots of space for 6. Very warm personal welcome.As mentioned before the road is busy and close to the house but we seemed to fairly easily zone out the noise so not a problem.
