This pretty country house, situated in the stunning Deveron Valley near Huntly (11 miles), is ideal for a family or group of friends – plus up to four furry ones! Sleeping eight humans across four peaceful bedrooms, it's the perfect place for a relaxing catch up with your loved ones. Walk the coastal trail with the pups at Banff (14.5 miles) before popping into the town for a bite to eat in one of the cafes or pubs. When you're ready to go home, the cottage will be waiting to welcome with a peaceful ambience.
The property, which is furnished with beautiful antiques, is spacious and comfortable. Three steps take you down into the breakfast/sitting room, a cosy haven to wake up to in the morning, while the open-plan lounge/diner is fresh and bright with huge windows looking out on pretty views. The chef of your party will love cooking up a storm in the kitchen for everyone to enjoy at the grand dining table. After dinner, sink into the comfy sofas in front of the wood burner, the canines curled up at your feet. At bedtime, snuggle into bed in the tranquil bedrooms; wake up surrounded by soft, peaceful decor and grab your coffee, then head to the garden chalet with table tennis and watch the kids and dogs play.
There are plenty of places nearby that will allow pups to tag along with you. Head down the road to Huntly Castle (10 miles) and discover the pretty gardens, or take a tour of lots of the local historic buildings by starting the Castle Trail from Duff House (14.5 miles). Dogs ride free on the heritage railway between Keith and Dufftown (23.5 miles), and you can stop at the Dufftown Distillery for a whisky sample before heading home.
