About this property
Ellon 4 miles. This simply stunning house occupies a lovely well maintained garden area extending to an acre and has fabulous far reaching views across the lovely Aberdeenshire countryside and over to the famous hills of Bennachie. With so much space, Schoolhill Croft would ideally suit a family or group of friends who want to explore Aberdeenshire and have a superior holiday home as a base. The accommodation is over two floors with five spacious bedrooms, two with en-suites and also two sitting rooms. There are large televisions all around the house and a very special extra is the games room complete with snooker table and Wii. The garden is mostly laid to lawn and is fully enclosed providing a great and safe outdoor space for children to play. The large decked area is ideal for an early evening BBQ and visitors can simply gaze at the stunning vista.

Very well presented and lots of space. Kids loved the games room and the garden.

The house ticked ALL our boxes - multiple areas to hang out [not all on top of each other], ground floor for elderly parents, three full bathrooms. Kitchen was well equipped. Host was really responsive and helpful when storm Gerret took the electricity down. We were greeted with lovely Christmas trees too. The area is rural BUT only 10 mins drive to Ellon and short drive to Ythan, Slain Castle or or Bullers of Buchan (beautiful coast line). Benachie is worth a slightly longer drive for a fabulous hike. We had a wonderful winter break. Will be awesome in other seasons. Thank you Gaz !!

there was so much space for my little one to run around both inside and outside of the property and as there was so much space it meant we could all have our own spaces to relax in the evenings if needed. Gary the owner was lovely and very helpful and insightful. A wonderful place to stay for bird watching and coastal walks. The pool table was an added bonus :)
