Luxurious top-floor apartment within a country mansion and nestled within a 65-acre estate. An idyllic base for a family of six and their two canine friends, look no further for an elegant escape to this great destination.

Usher through your two happy hounds into the enchanting open-plan living room. Embrace a fireside snooze with your pups while the rest of the group pick a film to watch on the Smart TV. Wake yourself up with a tasty meal cooked by your group’s head chef in the well-appointed kitchen. Sip drams of whisky in the spacious dining room, with gorgeous views across the Aberdeenshire countryside. Get stuck into rustling up a delicious meal in the elegant yet modern kitchen, and lay the table in the spacious dining area with lovely views over the countryside. Compete for king or queen of the billiard table, before making your way to one of three beautifully decorated bedrooms. A king with an en-suite, and two double bedrooms invite you to rest weary muscles. Enjoy an on-site yoga class first thing, then spend your afternoon sniffing out ancient woodlands and landscaped lawns with your contented canines.

Your pups will be barking mad when they see the sheer amount of pathways, woodlands and rugged moorland to run upon. Stretch the paws with a hike up the nine summits of Bennachie (10 miles), stopping in Inverurie (4 miles) for some refreshment in the dog-friendly pub. Aptly named as ‘Scotland’s Castle Country’, Aberdeen (19 miles) is well worth a visit. Immerse yourself in imposing castles, stately mansions and history-rich ruins, or venture to the truly magical Cairngorms National Park (26 miles) where over 100 routes are sure to keep you and your pups entertained for hours.

One of the best places weve stayed and we were sad to leave, the owners have done amazing work to restore it to this level. Thankyou to you both and we hope to be back again.

An absolutely fantastic place to holiday at. The area is wonderful, the seal beach at Newburgh exquisite and trips into historic Aberdeen very easy. We were amazed at the hosts' welcoming and their house (you stay in the West Wing) is amazing. We will easily go again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Manar house. We were in the Don View, the largest of the 3 apartments. Dean and his family were most welcoming, making out stay all the more enjoyable. It was a great base for us as we have family in the area. Would definitely visit again, either in the same suite, or in one of the two other suites, the Gordon and Read morethe Sutherland, if it was just the two of us. A lot of work has been done converting the west wing of the house into these three suites, worth a stay Hide

So much work has been put into renovating and modernising this beautiful house. The apartment is beautifully presented and incredibly comfortable; truly one of the best places we have stayed in. An hour from the Aberdeen Coast or the Cairngorms, the biggest challenge is deciding whether to go and explore or stay home and relax in luxury! The billiRead moreards room was an added bonus and much used during our stay. We will return! Hide
