Eastern Highlands and East Coast

The Auchenblae house is very spacious, well equipped, modern and great for families or groups of friends. Very comfortable beds, enough bath rooms, the video/ TV/ Playroom was the favourite of our sons.Check-in was bery easy, the kitchen very well equipped, and the scottish recycling system well explained and set up. Communications with the owner were always quick and easy. Many very intetesting locations are a short drive away, like Stonehaven and Dunnottar Castle, Royal Deeside, Loch Muick, etc. we greatly enjoyed Auchenblae house and highly tecommend it.

Charming Village!

We cannot express what a beautiful home this was! Great decor, very neat, tidy, and clean. Enough space for us all to spread out and relax. The village is gorgeous and hospitable with a small cafe and general store. A stroll through the village is a must. Beautiful in every corner. We would love to visit again!

Family Weekend

We were very impressed with this property. The kitchen cupboards are very well stocked and the host had left us a lovely cheese platter, milk, coffee and biscuits. The house was spotlessly clean and the robes and slippers were a nice added touch. We would definitely recommend and hope to return in the future.

Above and beyond

Loved everything about this property. The house is beautiful and so clean. Amanda had left milk, snacks and the house has some basics to use which is great. The robes, slippers and bathroom products are lovely. Wished we'd stayed longer to enjoy everything about this house.

Beautiful property

Definitely the nicest house we had while visiting Scotland and France for two weeks. There were 7 of us, 3 couples and one single and we all had comfortable rooms. Plenty of bathrooms/showers. Big family area off the kitchen plus a huge family room/den on the second floor. Kitchen and baths were like new. About 30 minutes southwest of Aberdeen, lovely little village with friendly residents. only down-side was the local pub was temporarily closed. other than that, fantastic!
