Cosy and charming, this home in the Cairngorms National Park is ideal for nature lovers. It looks out over the River Don, where you can fish for trout, and is in a great location for hill walking. It’s a former coaching inn dating back to the 18th century so if you’re looking for glitz and glam, this isn’t the home for you. That said, it’s been recently renovated and has all the contemporary comfort you might wish for. Your four-legged friends can even join you – this is a real home-from-home.

About Aberdeenshire
Aberdeenshire is fit for royalty. On the edge of the Cairngorms National Park the Queen’s Scottish holiday residence, Balmoral, is set amidst the untamed wilderness of heather-clad hills. The adjoining munros of the Cairngorms are home to ski resorts, and a troupe of reindeer can sometimes be spotted migrating over the land.
