About this property

Tranquil rural location yet less than a mile from the sea...

The Stables cottage comfortably sleeps a total of 4 guests whilst the adjacent Coach House cottage sleeps an additional 2 guests.

Our standards are high, each cottage provides the same first class self-catering accommodation all on ground level. Each cottage is furnished and equipped to the highest standard to provide a relaxing holiday environment in a tranquil rural location, yet less than a mile from the sea.

Maybe you're planning a romantic break, or an action-packed holiday with the kids, or simply taking some time out for a well earned bit of peace and quiet.

Whatever your requirements, short break or long term stay at all times of the year, we hope either of our cottages The Stables (sleeps 4) or The Coach House (sleeps 2) can provide what you're looking for.

Parents can relax knowing that the large lawns and walled garden provide a safe open space for children to play.

A well-behaved dog is welcome subject to prior arrangement.

Built around a private gravelled courtyard within the lightly wooded grounds of a fine Grade B Listed Regency Buchan former Manse dating circa.1828 the former stables and coach house have been sympathetically converted to provide two spacious and tastefully appointed self catering holiday cottages.

Each cottage is double glazed, centrally heated, and complemented in the main sitting room with a glass fronted feature cast iron multi-fuel stove.

In the main bedroom you have the choice of two single beds or a 6ft wide super-king.

All accommodation is ground level.

** FREE WiFi ** included in both cottages.

Come and stay in this beautiful area of Scotland and be prepared to be enchanted by the rolling countryside, explore local deserted wave washed beaches and enjoy the hospitality of local towns and villages like Pennan, Crovie, Portsoy and Gardenstown.

Whilst spending time at Gamrie Lodge the area provides a multitude of activities including golf, riding, fishing, cycling and walking.

For those looking for less energetic experiences, why not explore the plentiful supply of dramatic ruins and historic buildings or seek out the many other idyllic places to slow down, rest, and take it easy with a book, sketch pad or easel.

Perfect Getaway with Comfort and Beauty
We had a wonderful two week stay at Gamrie Lodge. The holiday home offered us all the comfort we could wish for a pleasant and relaxing stay and the very delightfully landscaped garden, very discreetly tended by our host, offers additional relaxation. In terms of location, Gamrie Lodge is an ideal location for taking beautiful trips and walks along the coast. We look forward to seeing this beautiful place again soon.

Fantastic property in a beautiful location.
Would highly recommend The Stables. Stuart and Kevin were lovely hosts and really knowledgable about the local area. The garden was fantastic and just right for a spot of garden cricket! Accommodation was very clean and very well equipped with everything we needed to have a really comfortable stay. We were a party of two teenagers and two adults and we had plenty of space to relax, eat and sleep. The local area was so beautiful. Would recommend the walk between Gardenstown and Crovie and great crabbing in Gardenstown too. So many lovely places to visit within an hours drive as well as slightly further afield. It was great to have such a comfortable home to come back too in the evenings. We had the best holiday and really hope to visit again. Thank you Stuart and Kevin.

Why they chose this property

Always wanted to live in a period property in the country but close to the sea. Gamrie Lodge ticked all the boxes although many of the renovations have been lengthy and costly.

What makes this property unique

The house has a spiral staircase extending up all four floors, who couldn't love that!
