Lovely spacious cottage located at the North entrance of Craigston Castle Estate, near Turriff. Nestled in the castle grounds, ideal for walking, cycling, fishing or relaxing in the countryside.

"Set in beautiful grounds on the Craigston Castle Estate, this charming cottage sleeps five people across three pretty bedrooms and welcomes one four-legged friend. Ideal for families or couples, this peaceful retreat on a working farm offers plenty of walking trails right from its front door, so your pup is sure to appreciate its exceptionally lovely location.

Step inside this spacious cottage and you’ll find a fresh, well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar where your loved ones can sit and keep you company as you cook up a storm. The comfy lounge/diner with cosy wood burning stove is the perfect place to host a group dinner and it offers some fantastic views over the property’s idyllic garden. French doors open onto a conservatory area that has patio doors leading to a large mature garden.  It’s also a great place to fire up the BBQ in the evening. A spacious ground floor bedroom provides lovely country views, and upstairs you’ll find two more cosy bedrooms.

Take your pup for a stroll at the doggie-friendly Banff Bridge Beach (9.5 miles), Inverboyndie (11.5 miles) or St Combs Beach (23.5 miles)—which is reputed to be the sunniest place in Scotland. Alternatively, go for a walk around the gorgeous grounds at Fyvie Castle (12.5 miles), which is a sterling example of Scottish Baronial architecture. There you’ll find a pretty walled garden, extensive parklands and a nice loch-side trail. Keep your eyes open for swans, coots, moor heads, greylag geese, tufted ducks and goldeneyes at the loch."

Such a warm and cosy cottage, we found it well equipped and so peaceful. We loved the 'dog box' with treats, bowls etc which made us feel that our dog was as welcome as we were. Elisabetta responded promptly to any requests and was friendly and supportive, throughout our stay.

The cottage is situated on the edge of a woodland in the Craigston Castle estate. The cottage was very clean on arrival and well presented. It had everything you need for a self catering holiday including dishwasher and tumble dryer. The garden is spacious and fully enclosed so perfect for our dog.

We had a wonderful, relaxing break with lovely walks right on the doorstep. Our little dog really enjoyed the freedom of the large, secure garden and the lodge was well equipped, comfortable and cosy (especially the lovely, big beds). Elisabetta was a great host and we thoroughly enjoyed her fascinating tour of the castle.

Plenty outside furniture and a good bbq. Lovely walks around the estate including a very good new pathway which has almost been finished.
