About this property

A cosy log cabin nestled in the woods. next to the river Deveron

Deveron Lodge is a cosy two-storey log cabin nestled in 2.5 acres of woodland, with direct access to walks along the beautiful River Deveron.
Tastefully furnished, and with a log burner to ensure the evenings are warm and cosy, this picturesque home has a twin bedroom downstairs and a double bedroom upstairs. The large upstairs Mezzanine balcony (which holds an extra single bed), leads to a sheltered outdoor balcony area, where you can sit with a wee dram and listen to the birds and wildlife in the woods where the cabin is set.
There is ample room for five guests, with a large family bathroom on the ground floor, children particularly like the bed on the mezzanine balcony.
Deveron Lodge has the best of both worlds cosy in the winter snuggling up next to the log burner, and lots of outdoor space for the summer months with garden furniture and a BBQ.
Wood for the log burner is supplied in your own log shed next to the cabin, Dogs are also very welcome and we have 13 acres of woodland meadow and river walks, a perfect base for exploring the whiskey and castle trails and a short drive to the beautiful coastal towns and beaches of Banff, Portsoy Cullen and Findochty.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Wonderful

The cabin was clean, cosy and well provisioned. The location in a small wooded area surrounded by fields, with the river Derwent flowing by was glorious. We went for early morning woodland walks followed by wild swimming in the river which flowed extremely close by - idylic. The hosts were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable of the surrounding location. We loved our stay and hope to return

Fantastic short stay

The cottage is very impressive on the outside and inside. It is a home away from home and well kitted out. There is so much space and it's very comfortable and clean - you could happily stay for weeks at a time. The host was excellent and good at communicating. Would really like to return.

Holiday Away

Brilliant - good enough to call 'home'. Great hosts - arrived early but all was ready and the stove was lit (and cosy). Everything worked as expected. Wildlife all around you - if you care to look. Would we stay again? Such a silly question. Of Course. Plenty too see and visit within a 30 minute drive. Sorry to leave and return to real life but we can and will return. Easy to find on Google maps and SatNav. Overall 5* or A+

Thank you for such a lovely review Euan :) it was really nice meeting you and Morag and looking forward to seeing you again maybe in the spring. All the best Ally and Jason x

About the host

Hosted by Ally Cairns

Host profile image
Hello everyone I’m Ally and my partner is Jason in June 2019 we took over Deveron Valley Cottages.
We are from South Wales and took the big leap from call centre to countryside in a life changing decision. We are loving it!
Jason previously a Master Blacksmith for many years is enjoying the outdoor life as am I.
We love this part of the country and having lived in the Brecon Beacons National Park feel quite at home.
It’s been a big learning curve and we work hard to maintain the high standards we have achieved over the last three years.
If we are not pottering around in the garden, you will probably find us out on our motorbikes exploring the gorgeous cost roads or painting, sculpting and generally working in or around the 13 acres that the cottages sit in.
The change of lifestyle has really allowed us to pursue or hobbies whilst enjoying our work too.
We look forward to seeing you at Deveron Valley Cottages and hope you love it as much as we do

We are also on the 'Whiskey and Castle Trails' (nearest being Fyvie Castle and Glendronach Distillery). The fascinating Pictish standing stones and ancient stone circles seem to pop up everywhere and we have visited a few the Nearest being Rothiemay stone circle which is just a few miles away.
A little further afield is the hauntingly beautiful and remote Cabrach Region where you can explore the reindeer park, ski school and visitor centre.
About hours’ drive is the dramatic Dunottar castle, stunningly beautiful and closer to home Huntly Castle with its fascinating history.
