  • A charming cottage with thoughtful touches throughout
  • Cosy and comfortable, and boasting lovely rural views of the peaceful surroundings
  • Relax on the furnished patio with a sundowner after days spent exploring
Property code: OC-T32765

Sniff out this charming cottage near Cruden Bay for a couple's retreat, friends' getaway or family holiday - with a four-legged companion welcome, too. After days of playing in the surf or running along the sand, return home to a sundowner in the garden or a movie night as your tired hound snoozes at your feet.

Kick off your boots, leave the lead in the porch and follow your furry friend into the lounge/diner of this welcoming, stone two-storey property. After tiring days in the great outdoors your pup can snooze by your feet as you play one of the board games provided or enjoy a movie on the Smart TV. The dining table in the corner complements the breakfast bar in the kitchen, which is the ideal spot for a relaxed morning coffee. In this room, you'll find a microwave and a dishwasher to make life easy, and plenty of cupboard space in which to store your pet's treats. The family bathroom, with a separate shower and bath, is also on the ground floor. When night falls, kiss your chum goodnight and head upstairs to find two cosy bedrooms, both with sloping ceilings and skylights. Outside, the enclosed garden includes a furnished patio where you can relax with a book or sip a drink while your dog plays nearby. The property also offers private parking for two cars.

The cottage is on the outskirts of the village of Hatton, 3.5 miles from Cruden Bay, where dogs are welcome all year round on the vast, sandy beach. For a fascinating day out, head to Newburgh Beach, 10 miles from home, where you can observe the 400-strong colony of seals from the viewing area (do note the signs about keeping your furry friend on a lead, though).

Lovely cottage, warm, cosy and an enclosed garden for our dog. Such a nice welcome from the host, who was also available for questions at any time. Cruden Bay and Slains Castle is 100% worth a visit and we definitely want to come back.

Lovely quiet location out in the Aberdeenshire countryside, but within walking distance of the village of Hatton. The Bothy is very well equipped and lovely and warm. We stayed in November and endured a cold snap of ice and snow while we were there, but were oblivious in the snug warm Bothy. The enclosed garden was great for our dog to have a saRead morefe wander around. This was our second stay in the Bothy and can highly recommend. We loved the area so much that weve just bought a house about 10 minutes drive away! Hide
