Located in Aberdeenshire's rolling countryside, this architect-designed lodge is ideal for nature lovers. As it's set on a family farm, there's plenty of room for exploring – pets are even welcome to tag along and enjoy some time in the fresh air, too. In the open-plan living area, large windows flood the room with light, while a log burner keeps things cosy in winter. Outside, a patio and garden provide space for relaxing in the sunshine. Those travelling with a large group may even be able to book the lodge next door. When it comes to exploring, you'll find Cairngorms National Park within driving distance, as well as West Aberdeen's shops, bars, and restaurants.

A travel cot is available upon request if you're travelling with little ones.

About Aberdeen
The pebble-grey houses and ancient university quads have earned Aberdeen the nickname “granite city”. On central Thistle Street, you’ll find the granite-stoned buildings are filled with everything from zero-waste cafés to street food markets, and there’s a real buzz about the centre. Art galleries are housed in resplendent Victorian buildings and repurposed hospitals, and a litany of indie record shops, bookshops and boutiques packed with curios fill the narrow streets...
