Absolutely fantastic, three generations all together for a special birthday, the house was perfect. Great space, everything we needed, bedrooms comfortable and hosts available for anything. even prior to arrival. So much to do in the surrounding area highly recommend clay pigeon shooting and golf in Ellon.

This home was fantastic. Well equipped, clean, warm and set in beautiful surroundings. All 10 of my family had a memorable weekend with fun and laughter. We would all recommend this house and we had no idea it has the most stunning wedding venue next to it too.

We had a brilliant weekend! Newton House was much nicer than we thought it would be, photos didn't do it justice. Hot tub was brilliant and access to the pool was great. Edward was really friendly and helpful.

Super cosy home, great sized rooms, very comfortable and lovely log burner which belts out the heat. Beds are very comfy, place was super clean and Edward was very attentive during our stay, nothing an issue. Beautiful surroundings and very secluded, lawns kept very neat. Plenty towels for use, great hot tub and swimming pool was a big hit with theRead more kids, plenty of spool floats, inflatable balls etc for playing with. Hide
