Large detached house

It was a real treat to arrive here after a long journey. It is a beautiful, modern house in an idyllic setting. We had ample room to spread out and accommodate our large extended family. Everything was spotless. Vinnie showed my sister around and was responsive to all our questions and requests throughout the stay. We will cherish our memories of this house forever! Highly recommended!

Spacious house with various rooms for social interaction set in quiet and beautiful surroundings. A well equiped kitchen, and an attentive owner. Ideal for a family get together.

It's a stunning modern house with great facilities and a few quirky details. Relaxing and comfortable.

We had an absolutely wonderful vacation in Scotland. This property was perfect for our family and get togethers with our family in Aberdeen. It was also easy and close for traveling to central Scotland and the highlands. Vin and family are wonderful and made everything easy!! Hope to be back.

We throughly enjoyed our stay! My husband, children and I were visiting from the US to see both sides of my family. We were able to host our relatives for dinners, the kids enjoyed playing outside on the beautiful grounds with their cousins, and the house had lots of extra space so that we could have overnight guests during our stay. I would definitely return again and my only suggestion would be that the swing bed be relocated to another room as we weren’t able to make good use of that space and en suite.

We were family and friends of 10 staying for a week for a family wedding in the area. The property was a perfect choice for us, lots of space, bedrooms and bathrooms for all of us. It is located in its own grounds and very secluded. The house and gardens are maintained to a high standard, and the house is equipped with everything we needed to cater for the whole group. It was wet and cold weather wise but the house was very warm and comfortable. The host was there to welcome us and show us how everything worked and also very promptly answered any questions we had during the week. We have no complaints about our stay at all and would recommend the property unreservedly. The whole family spanning three generations (and the dog) all had a great stay.

Property was everything we could have hoped for and more. Spacious and well equipped, clean and comfortable. Suited our family group perfectly with great outdoor space for children and dog to play. Excellent walks without getting in the car and access to the Deeside Way. We’re already earmarking it for a return trip! P.s. hanging bed takes a little getting used but was fine - may not be to everyone’s taste.

Superb property full of memorabilia from Crathes Castle. Very well appointed and wonderfully situated. Could do with easier shower facilities as only one was walk in and that in the room with the swinging bed , so not ideal for elderly or handicapped. Ensuring adequate hot water at key times was a challenge, but overall a fantastic house for a large family group.

From booking to finish this was one of the best holiday lets we have had. Superb property set in such beautiful grounds. This property is so well equipped with ever thing the larger family would need. Very homely property . We had our 4 grandchildren with us ages 11-6 and the grounds were excellent, lots of scope for the kids to roam and they had an absolute ball den building etc. Ideal location for walking . Would certainly recommend. Thank you Vinny for such a fantastic break.

Have just spent a very relaxing week with extended family ranging in age from 12-83yrs & this accommodation suited everyone in our party & is set in beautiful grounds which I feel would stunning in all seasons. The layout with 2 lounge areas plus an outside space, 2 dining/eating options & a spacious well equipped kitchen for food prep meant there was plenty space for all & options for everyone to take time out or be together as required. The bedrooms were bright, clean & spacious with lots of storage for longer stays & a good selection of bathrooms to suit all needs. The host & housekeeper were extremely helpful with all aspects of our stay. Our only observation regarding the appointment of the bedrooms is that the suspended bed in the 2nd master bedroom might not be for everyone and therefore might prove restrictive if your party members suffer from motion sickness. Otherwise we would have no hesitation in highly recommending this fantastic accommodation & would hope to be able to revisit in future.
