Aberdeenshire & Morayshire
This area stretches north and west from the ‘granite city’ of Aberdeen, up along the north sea coast, with its long stretches of sandy beach, to Fraserburgh, or ‘The Broch’ as it is locally known. You then turn the corner to find a string of charming fishing villages such as Pennan, Crovie, Cullen and Gardenstown and more superb beaches. Inland from Aberdeen there is a hugely scenic drive along the river Dee into the heart of Royal Deeside.

Plenty to Explore

Aberdeen is a convenient base for exploring the wider region.
The countryside to the north and west of Aberdeen is often unfairly overlooked as a holiday destination. It is actually full of interest, with attractive and peaceful countryside, beautiful gardens, good walking, cycling, fishing, golfing and on its edge some magnificent beaches.

Wij zijn zeer tevreden over Unique Cottages als tussenpersoon bij de huur van verschillende cottages in Schotland. Alle details zijn duidelijk en er zijn geen "addertjes onder het gras" bij het boeken en de uiteindelijke huur van een cottage. | |

We would definitely book this cottage again in the future. It was cosy, comfortable, clean with modern amenities. The views were spectacular and the sunsets stunning. Although the property was private, everyone on the property was friendly and accommodating. | |

Well equipped kitchen, great location, comfortable arm chairs. Could do with a better sofa. Never used the wood burner, as the heating is toasty and the weather was amazing. Good flow from the over bath shower. | |

Mostly good, however, it was stated that we had no access to the cottage wing, but it was all open when we got there. So we were a bit confused. |
