The property is absolutely gorgeous The kitchen and open area are fantastic for hanging out in Top quality kitchen appliances and loads of glasses and dishes to make it very easy to host a large party’s including two caffitiers, a lovely tea pot, wine and water carafe, pads of spare cupboard space if you want a slightly extended stay. The washing machine and dishwasher made it really easy and homely to stay in. The views are out of this world (lovely in every bedroom).Comfortable beds and extra bedding added to the experience. Just loved it We removed a star (wish we could only take away half a star as it seems mean taking a whole star away for small issues) as there are a few areas that need updating. There is a large floorboard in the hall that was out of place and a trip hazard for my aunties and no door handle in one of the bathrooms so our shampoos got locked inside and we were unable to use the shower. There was a slight shortage of towels too and we all would have loved mirrors in the bedroom so we could get party ready in our rooms. It would also have been easier if the gardens were enclosed so you didn’t have to watch the dogs every time they went out for a wee.Other than that it is a BEAUTIFUL location and beautiful clean and comfortable property where everyone felt relaxed. There were people schooling horses in the fields out of the window and that was blissful to see.We all said that we would come back and would recommend it to friends.

Gourdon Trip

What a stunning part of the world this is! We stayed in 2 adjacent properties as an extended family of 14. The property was beautiful, in a picturesque location with all you would need for a get together of any kind. We came up to Aberdeenshire to scatter my Dad's ashes in a nearby village and it was the perfect balance of remote and within travelling distance of Aberdeen and surrounding areas. I can't recommend the property and the area/location highly enough
