Tucked away on a cul-de-sac on the outskirts of Stonehaven rests this charming pebbledash cottage, 77 Malcolm's Mount West. Set a stone's throw away from both the coast and country, 77 Malcolm's Mount West is an idyllic base for two couples looking to explore the delights of this picturesque part of Scotland. Park up on your private driveway before unloading your belongings into this delightful holiday home, kicking off your shoes as you step into the welcoming hallway space in your home-away-from-home. Follow the corridor through to the open-plan living/dining space and unwind with a leisurely seat on the sofa with a refreshing drink as you let the television do the entertaining following an action-packed day, warming your toes with the glow of the electric fire in the cooler months. Gather your loved ones together around the dining table to share a bottle of wine as the designated chef cooks up a storm in the neighbouring kitchen, fully-equipped with all of the modern amenities necessary to prepare hearty meals during your stay; toast to a wonderful holiday as you indulge in your culinary delights. As the evening draws to a close, prepare for bed with an invigorating rinse in the contemporary family shower room, stylishly tiled throughout, before choosing between either of the two thoughtfully laid-out double bedrooms, each providing a calming and neutral setting to rest your head. In the morning, kickstart your day with a steaming cup of coffee, soaking in the setting of the green garden as you plan the days itinerary. Pack up your beach-going essentials and spend a fun-filled day at Stonehaven Beach, dipping your toes in the peaceful waters of the bay, or bask in the sun with a seat on the golden sand that decorates the front. Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the promenade toward the scenic harbour and indulge in a portion of fish and chips or explore the fascinating displays of local history at The Tolbooth Museum. Get better acquainted with your surroundings and lace up your walking boots to wonder across the cliff tops to Dunnottar Castle then head to the picturesque landscape of the Cairngorms National Park, boasting a plethora of walking, cycling and hiking trails through rolling hills, heather moors and lochs; avid hikers can tackle the challenging climb to the summit of Ben Macdui, offering panoramic views across the stunning countryside from the top. Venture further afield to the popular city of Aberdeen, where you can enjoy a spot of retail therapy followed by a bite to eat at the many shops and eateries that litter the high-street; take in the views across the rooftops from the Ferris wheel at Codona's Amusement Park, discover the fascinating interactive exhibitions at Aberdeen Science Centre, or if you time it right, you might even catch the cities football team play at Pittodrie Stadium. Make memories that will last a lifetime with a stay at 77 Malcolm's Mount West. EPC Rating: Band C
