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
There are many whisky distilleries in Speyside and Aberdeen, a bustling city with good transport connections with the rest of the UK, has a charming old university and a distinct architecture, many of the buildings being built from granite. 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.
There are many historic, archaeological and other attractions, the most famous being Balmoral, the Royal Family's holiday residence on Deeside. The area thus offers the visitor a wide variety of activities from which to choose.

26-Mar-2024 | The Black Barn DB7 (overall) | Got back to us quick when asked questions about stay | ||
26-Mar-2024 | East Denwick Mill GA1 (overall) | We liked that the owner was available next door, but wasn't at all intrusive. He gave us information about the island when we asked for it. So just the right amount of support. | ||
26-Mar-2024 | River Cottage at Old Melrose CN6 (overall) | We have stayed twice River Cottage and love both the cottage and surrounding countryside. When you arrive, there is a lovely hamper with homemade bread and marmalade, plus freshly laid eggs. The cottage is very clean, well-appointed and organised. The kitchen is great to cook in. We would recommend bringing a shower cap for the excellent overhead shower. The owners, who live next door, are very pleasant, welcoming and discreet. We hardly noticed them apart from the odd times when our paths crossed. The grounds are lovely for walking and have access to the river Tweed. In the local towns, there are some excellent small shops that are worth exploring, especially for food and books! | ||

23-Mar-2024 | Coldwells Cottage EK5 (overall) | Professional service from booking to completion of holiday. Timely reminders and kept informed via email. The only aspect of Unique Cottages service that I don't like is the £150 compulsory cleaning deposit, other cottage holiday booking agencies do not have this charge. | ||
