Set in 65 acres of beautiful Aberdeenshire countryside, this traditional, luxury ground-floor apartment is every canine’s dream – so why not book a stay here and enjoy the countryside estate with your furry companion? There’s room for up to three human guests and one dog in this spacious and stylish accommodation. Spend your mornings wandering through ancient woodlands and pathways right outside your front door, before heading to the nearby market town of Inverurie (4 miles) where you’ll discover plenty of dog-friendly shops and cafés. Enjoy a pint in a local pub while your four-pawed pal dozes contentedly at your feet.
The inside of the property is decorated in an antique style with stylish vintage pieces and tasteful artefacts. There’s an open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with lovely stone walls and wooden floors. In the evening, you can enjoy watching something on the Smart TV while your pet warms their fur by the cosy wood burner. The farmhouse kitchen, complete with a Belfast sink, is a great place for cooking up holiday meals. There are two welcoming bedrooms as well as a private patio with seating – ideal for enjoying morning coffee in the fresh air. The shared billiard room is a great place to relax with your fellow guests.
The surrounding grounds should keep your pet active for hours, but when it’s time for something new, the East Aquhorthies Stone Circle (3 miles) is a great bet. This fascinating 4,000-year-old site offers lovely all-round views and there’s a woodland behind it for pups with insatiable energy to burn some off. You may also choose to drive to Aberdeen (19 miles) to explore this cultural city and take your pet for a run along the beach there.
