About this property

A Modern Cottage with double height glazed gable end giving stunning views of the countryside. Set on a croft of 50 acres this is a quiet and relaxing rural location. Keith, with good local butchers, bakers and supermarket is only 4 miles with a village shop in Newmill for milk and a paper only 1 mile. A good location for exploring the castles and distilleries of the north east and easy driving distance to the coast for the beautiful beaches and dolphin watching.

While there was plenty that was great about the house—how secluded it is, how we woke every morning to sounds of sheep, how comfortable it is—the only thing that really mattered was the view out of the south window. You can get lost in it. I sat every morning with a cup of coffee and just looked out at the hills. Gorgeous.

Very well placed panoramic cottage for exploring Cairngorms and coast, far away from busy world. We did enjoy very much our 'home' for week - 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen and spacious living area. Hosts kindly provided clear and helpful instructions.

Amazing place

Our week in Keith went so fast, with so many things to do around (castles, destilaríeis, cities, beaches, local events). The house was amazing, very pleasant, great space inside and outside. So much to do that the kids survived Without internet.

Private, Gorgeous Scottish Country Retreat

Beautiful home away from home in the country. Gorgeous Scottish scenery out every window. A great private location with a fully stocked kitchen etc. If you are coming from abroad be prepared for a short narrow drive from the nearest town but we'll worth it. We were sad to leave..

Wonderful Highland stay

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house in the Highlands. The children really enjoyed their stay and there were lots of places to visit in the surrounding area. Everything necessary was also available in the house. We will definitely spend a holiday there again. Thank you very much for the wonderful time. We definitely recommend this house! Kind regards

Country Cottage

This is a fantastic property. Bright and cheery with wonderful views. We stayed a week and used it as a base for a golf vacation. Too many courses within a 30 minute drive to list. Played 4 courses, rented ebikes and rode the Speyside Way in Aberlour. We would defiantly recommend.

Quiet, modern, light country retreat

The upper sitting room suited the teenagers well. There were a few dead flies but otherwise clean. The owners responded quite quickly regarding the few problems that arose. The wood burning stove heated the sitting area very well. The views through the triple glazed gable end were stunning.

Peace & tranquility

A wonderful gem of a property set in the most picturesque countryside among rolling green hills with happy flocks of sheep just outside your window. The holiday home was very well equipped with everything you could need, including comfy beds and furniture and a cozy fireplace. We were able to cook and do some laundry, which came in handy. The owners keep the place spotless and they were very easy to contact when needed. We appreciated the little extras like very clear instructions for all the appliances and equipment, detergent, cleaning supplies, batteries and even bandages. There is no wifi but there is signal for data and there are plenty of tv channels and games in the house. Would highly recommend for couples or families who are looking for a relaxing Scottish experience.
