Om overnatningsstedet

En charmerende periode Familiehus på kanten af Cairngorms National Park

Et behageligt, hyggeligt og arketypisk skotsk hytte, dybt i historien med en stor, velholdt have og sydlig panoramaudsigt; Winters Cottage har 2 soveværelser med plads til 4 personer - 1 stort dobbeltværelse og 1 dobbeltværelse; 1 badeværelse med separat bruser, nyt køkken / morgenrum, stue og bagagerum. Det ligger i den lille landsby Dykehead nær Glens Clova og Prosen, i udkanten af den fantastiske Cairngorms nationalpark. Et indbydende sommerhus omgivet af en betagende natur er det perfekte sted for ivrige vandrere, golfspillere, fiskere og dem, der ønsker at slappe af i slutningen af dagen med et glas vin og en god bog ved siden af en brølende pejs! Landligt, men alligevel inden for rørende afstand fra kysten og nogle af Skotlands store byer - Winters Cottage er en lille perle.

Bemærk venligst, hytten rengøres professionelt for hver vending. Ekstra rengøring er tilgængelig efter anmodning.

Vi er medlemmer af VISIT SCOTLAND (3-stjernet vurdering - 'meget godt').

BEMÆRK VENLIGST:

Vi byder børn over 5 år velkomne. Desværre har vi ikke faciliteter til yngre gæster.

Vi skal bare nævne, at hytten desværre ikke er egnet til enhver, der har brug for kørestolsadgang. Der er også 3 trin op til soveværelserne.

Winters Cottage er et røgfrit hotel.

Desværre kan vi ikke acceptere kæledyr.

KORTE BREAKS: I nogle tilfælde foretrækker du muligvis en kortere pause, som vi er glade for at arrangere, men håber, du forstår, at vi bliver nødt til at opkræve den angivne minimumssats.

We just finished our family holiday, staying 5 nights. The cottage was exactly as described, everything needed was provided. Kitchen has all the pots, pans, utensils needed. The beds are very comfortable and clean. Fiona has been a fantastic host, very responsive, friendly and provided us with a lot of information. The garden is amazing, fantastic for the kids to play, with amazing views over the fields and loads of birds to listen to. We had beautiful weather during our stay but the cottage has two log burners which would have been great on rainy days.The only thing we were surprised with was the history of the cottage, an old post office, we loved the pictures of the Winter's family who used to run it. We could tell that Winters Cottage is a much treasured family home that is being shared with us. Thank you very much.

Winters cottage is an absolute dream. My family and I visited over christmas and it came out to be the best christmas we’ve ever had. The area is quiet, with nature trails and monuments not too far away, the cottage itself was clean, stocked with everything you need, and incredibly cozy. The owner kept up consistent communication with me for months before our stay and was nothing but kind, warm and welcoming. We will absolutely be visiting again, and couldn’t recommend this location more

Om værten

Vært: Fiona Howard

Værtens profilbillede
The next generation has taken on the mantle of caring for Winters Cottage. Our grandparents moved from Scotland to Warwickshire in the 1930s. We three ‘Winter’ sisters live in South Warwickshire and manage the cottage as a holiday destination, project managing the maintenance and restoration with care. Black ranges, box beds in the kitchen and oil lamps have all gone. Babies are no longer born at the cottage – our children no longer walk across the field to the primary school by the river at Cortachy. But this bothy still holds a special place in our hearts. We have passed our love of the cottage to our children and the next generation – the 7th in line – are now enjoying the magic of this special place. History repeats itself. How wonderful to know that some things don’t change.

Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted

In the1850s James Winter moved to the cottage from his father’s farm in Glen Prosen where he raised 5 children with his wife Eliza. He opened a post office and drapers store to sell linen from his business in Laurencekirk in what is now the kitchen/morning room. We can just remember the mahogany shop counter, wooden floors and open fire in the 1950s. The shop closed in the late 50s but we still have mementos of times gone by, including hand made linen, Victorian furniture and books, a family bible and a clock given by Peter Pan author J M Barrie to his sister who married our ancester, William. The cottage was handed down the generations to our father Donald and on to our generation. We are proud caretakers for generations to come and we hope you love the cottage as much as we do!

Derfor er dette overnatningssted unikt

Really easy to reach yet set in glorious highland scenery. At Perth you’ll soon be there. See the Grampian mountains coming into view. By Kirriemuir look out for Peter Pan; that’s where he comes from and he’s never grown up!

Can you see the red squirrels or deer feeding by the castle? Through the woods, over the river and up to Dykehead. You’re there and only 15 minutes since you left a different world. Sit under the verandah with a cup of tea and gaze at the wonderful view. It’s great to be back. Riverside walks, cycling, fishing, golf and the glens on your doorstep. Visit historic houses and castles such as Glamis, birthplace of Queen Elizabeth 11s mother and Scone Palace, crowning place of the King of Scots. Ski at Glenshee, visit the Braemar Highland Games or Balmoral Castle, Scottish home of the Royal Family. Walk the coastal path and see the quaint villages of Crail or Pittenweem, take a picnic and swim at Lunan Bay 35 minutes away. Visit historic St Andrews and Perth or Dundee, home of Scott’s ship ‘Discovery’ and the visitor centre dedicated to his fated voyage to the Antarctic. THE DUNDEE V & A MUSEUM OPENED IN SEPTEMBER 2018. FUNDAMENTAL TO THE V & A IS ITS ROLE IN PROMOTING AND ENCOURAGING THE DEVELOPMENT AND UNDERSTANDING OF BRITISH DESIGN AND IN PARTICULAR, SCOTLAND. RICH HERITAGE, CHARACTERIZED BY CREATIVITY, CRAFT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP EMERGE FROM THE SUPERLATIVE COLLECTIONS AND EXHIBITIONS.

THE CATERAN TRAIL - one of Scotland’s great trails, is a fully waymarked 64 mile route through Perthshire and the Angus glens. It follows old drove roads and ancient tracks. The Caterans were fearsome cattle thieves who raided the glens from the Middle Ages to the 17th century. (see a reference to the Battle of Saughs). Stage 4 of the 5 stages is nearest the cottage - Kirkton of Glenisla to Alyth. Take a diversion on your way back to the cottage to the Wee Bear cafe at Lintrathan or Peel Farm cafe near Lintrathan. Excellent home made cakes!
