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.

Cottage was as advertised and booking was easy.. We book several cottages each year but this is the only agency we use that retains a cleaning deposit which is why 4 rather than 5 stars. Being at the mercy of someone else's evaluation isn't ideal and leaves you wondering about the overall cost, similar with their cottages that require meter readings for oil and electricity. | |

The service provided by Unique Cottages was great. There was limited interaction, just booking, pay, go. The description of the cottage we rented was accurate and detailed. The location was absolutely stunning. One we would all happily experience again. The owners were delightful and helpful. Also very informative, knowing the area intimately. | |

Prima centrale locatie op het eiland met privacy. Zeer vriendelijke en behulpzame beheerder. Het huis is in een aantal opzichten geantidateerd, met name de keuken. Het was pas warm na een klein week flink stoken.. verder is er maar een badkamer. Eentweede zou goed zijn. | |

We had a lovely few days staying at Ghillie's Cabin. The hosts were lovely and also let us know when the northern lights were on show during our stay. They also informed us of when the Corran ferry would not be running due to bank holidays around the New Year. | |
