Set on the banks of the River Deveron, this sympathetically updated farm steading has been stylishly decorated to make a delightful holiday retreat for couples and smaller families. Surrounded by the spellbinding scenery of the Avochie Estate, the property offers spacious accommodation for four guests, with plenty of space for a waggy-tailed pal to join you for long, tranquil walks. With a range of charming original features including a welcoming wood burner, flagstone flooring and window seats, this bright and inviting hideaway is perfect for walkers, anglers and nature spotters exploring a stunning part of the unforgettable Aberdeenshire countryside.

Stepping inside this delightful property, the cosy lounge offers a warm welcome, with a Smart TV, plush seating and a lovely wood burner for your pet to enjoy. Exploring the ground floor further, there's a traditional country-style kitchen/diner with a central farmhouse table and ample storage space. The ground floor also features a refreshing bathroom and a handy utility room. From the lounge, a lovely wooden staircase winds up to the first floor and the two characterful en-suite bedrooms: a double and a lovely king-size, each with low sloping ceilings and far-reaching views. Outside, the estate features a tennis court, and the banks of the River Deveron pass close by, providing a serene spot for walking your dog. Private parking is available for two cars.

Exploring the surrounding Avochie Estate further, you and your pet will have over 1,500 acres of farmland, woodland, and pasture to discover. There’s fishing along the river, and nature spotters will have the opportunity to spot roe deer, game birds and ospreys. To the south, the historic town of Huntly (8 miles) has some pet-welcoming pubs. Heading north, you can spend an afternoon enjoying the peaceful dog-friendly beaches at Inverboyndie and Banff, both within 18 miles.

Very cosy cottage and lots of walks around the area. 15 mins from town or supermarkets. We loved the stay. Kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, plenty of room and owner was lovely. Thank you for the basket of goodies and the wood. We loved it. So relaxing.

Great location adjacent to the River Deveron. Very peaceful. A "get away from it all" type property. Well appointed and very comfortable.

Spotlessly clean cottage. Just perfect! Everything you needed. Loved the decor & design. Great for our two small dogs. A generously filled Welcome basket greeted us on arrival. Sat outside in the evening sun with a cuppa beside the beautiful river Deveron.. Sun shone every day for April & reached 20 degress! Walked The Cairngorms & Loch an Eilien ,Read more Bought fresh fish from Portsoy & walked the forest at Culvin to the waters edge. The roads are excellent to tour around Aberdeenshire. Hide

We loved the peaceful setting for this cottage. It was beautifully presented, comfortable, warm, modern and homely. Our dog was also very happy, we think the under floor heating was great for him.

Extremely well presented cottage in an excellent situation.As our weather was not particularly nice the underfloor heating was a boon as was the log fire. Nice relaxing stay with pleanty eateries within a ten mile radius.

Beautiful cottage in rural location which was still well located for day trips. Craftsmanship in the cottage renovation is second to none. Walks along the river and sightings of the osprey were a highlight. Perfect getaway with family.
