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.

21-May-2019	Taigh An Fasgaidh FK8 (overall)	Efficient service.
20-May-2019	The Ridge AH2 (overall)	In the centre of Stirling, but with a very private feel, this place really had the best of all worlds! There were great views from the two bedrooms and kitchen, as well as quirky, yet dignified décor which suited this former manse. With its warm presentation, including family photos, we felt at once at home and appreciative of the owner's hospitality at the Ridge. I would always want to stay here in future visits to Stirling and recommend it highly to couples and/or small families.
