About this property

Whole house in the heart of the Mal-Whikey Countrys

The holiday house has been family-owned for almost 40 years.
The new winter garden is the new one in 2016.
The Cottag has been completely renovated over the last 10 years. So everything is either new (bathroom and kitchen) or renovated. The historic charm has been preserved in the form of a cozy fireplace and antique furniture.
The surrounding area offers many opportunities for hiking and excursions. For example, the most famous distilleries in the world, Glenlivet and Glenfiddich.
There are various well signposted hiking trails, which start in the immediate vicinity. And who would like to go directly from the front door.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Lovely Cottage, isolated

This is a wonderful cottage and if you like privacy, you'll love this place. It is about 15 minutes out of Dufftown and you'll have to drive a single track road to get to it, but it is worth it if you want to really experience the Scottish countryside.

The Dramathon was rained out, but

The house is warm and cozy, which was needed since the worst October storm in a while hit Speyside. Well provided, very comfortable. Easy to communicate and very responsive. Thirty minutes to any of a dozen distilleries. Overall a great place to stay away from town.

Prachtige locatie,

Het huisje staat afgelegen in een bebost stukje. De dichtsbijzijnde buren bevinden zich op ruim een kilometer. Doodstil, absolute privacy. Een aantal trails kun je bij het huisje beginnen. Het huisje is goed ingericht met deugdelijke apparatuur. Internet is wat minder maar ligt aan de locatie. Verder Top.

Erholung pur

Das Haus liegt ist ziemlich abgelegen und deshalb sehr ruhig. Es liegt mitten in der Natur, was uns gut gefallen hat. Dank der detaillierten Anfahrtsbeschreibung des Vermieters, haben wir auch sehr gut hin gefunden. Leider gibt es kein Internet. Ansonsten ist die Ausstattung sehr gut. Alles da, was man braucht. Wir waren leider nur drei Tage dort, aber es hat uns sehr gut gefallen.

Herrliche Ruhe zwischen Wald, Hügeln und Schafen

Ein Ferienhaus wie man es sich nur wünschen kann. In wunderschöner Landschaft absolute Ruhe und trotzdem sehr komfortabel und gemütlich. Als Großstadtbewohner muss man sich erst ein wenig an die Stille und Abgeschiedenheit gewöhnen, aber dann kann man es dort einfach nur genießen!

Alles gut, bis auf die Tatsache, dass wir von Internet ausgegangen waren

Negativ war nur, dass wir davon ausgegangen waren, über Internet zu verfügen. Die Lage des Hauses war ein Traum. Auch die Ausstattung des Hauses war gut.

Great visit

The property is secluded and remote - as advertised - and exactly what we required. Some found the lack of wifi a bit of a drawback, but we knew about that before we visited, so were prepared. Erech, the host, was very helpful, answering my questions from my initial enquiry right up to the time of our stay. Thank you very much - hope to return again in the future.

Absolute Ruhe

Wir hatten fünf wunderschöne Tage im Ferienhaus. Entgegen unserer Befürchtung war es auch einfach zu finden. Die Beschreibung für den Weg und das Haus vom Vermieter waren sehr hilfreich.
