This dwelling sits perfectly near the edge of the spectacular Cairngorms National Park, making it the ideal spot for those holidaying with four-legged friends. Head out and about and enjoy mornings stick-chasing and stretching your legs before returning back to this delightful croft to unwind in comfort and style. With two wood burners promising to keep you warm throughout your stay, cosy up in the lounge or lap up the warmth from the sun in the bright sunroom.

 

Step inside and admire the creature comforts which adorn this home from home. From quiet corners to communal areas, you can enjoy time spent with others but steal away a peaceful moment to yourself too. Your canine chum will love the snug lounge with its themed wallpaper and roaring wood burner sprawled out waiting for a tummy tickle as you switch on the TV for a moment of calm. Embrace the natural light and warmth in the glorious sunroom which boasts views of rolling hills, lush greenery and the majestic Grampian mountains. When hungry step into the kitchen, which is well-equipped for all occasions, rustle up tasty titbits or showcase your culinary talents then dine inside or out. With bedrooms both upstairs and down, choose your spot and rest your heads for a good night’s sleep ahead of tomorrow’s adventures.

 

Take the lead and head straight into the Cairngorms National Park for a day to remember. Surrounded by flora and fauna, including the twinflower, golden eagle and osprey, keep your eyes peeled for a glimpse of rare wildlife. All golfers should make sure you pack your clubs and hit the green at Tarland Golf Club, 5 miles from home. Work up an appetite before grabbing a bite to eat at the clubhouse.

We had a wonderful week at Ferneyhowe last week. Warm and cosy, two log burners, plenty of room to get clothes dry. Usually there are essential things missing when you rent a holiday home - not here! Every home comfort has been thought of.

We enjoyed our week at Ferneyhowe Croft, one week was not enough time to explore, it was our second visit to Cairngorms and no doubt not our last. The Lonach Gathering was a joy, fishmonger & restaurant in Ballater excellent as was our return visit to a refurbished Kildrummy Inn. The house was warm welcoming and well equipped and the outside area gRead morereat for children and adults playtime! Our hosts were charming and available when needed but not intrusive. Hide
