Cottage in Aberdeenshire Huntly, Aberdeenshire

Holiday Rental Description

Located amongst the rolling hills near Huntly in Aberdeenshire, this property is ideal for couples and small families that love the great outdoors. There are plenty of walking trails on the doorstep, including Tap o Noth, Craigfall viewpoint, The Buck of Cabrach and Bennachie Hill, along with numerous other forest trails in proximity. The cottage is adjacent to Leith Hall estate, a quirky family home and manicured gardens filled with artefacts collected from all over the world, now owned by the National Trust. The steading is also within easy reach of the Moray coastline with plenty of places you can go for day trips. The cottage is accessed with steps up to the front door into a hall, which then leads through to a small dining area for four people. One quirky thing you will notice in the cottage are the smaller doorframes throughout, yet the ceilings are very high, so it still feels spacious. Leading on from the dining area is the kitchen, which contains a beautiful Belfast sink that has been installed within a wooden dresser. The kitchen contains an electric cooker, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and fridge/freezer. There are steps up from here into the patio and garden area. From the hall, through a small corridor is the main bathroom, the second bathroom and the lounge, which you enter at mezzanine level and then step down into the main seating area that surrounds a cosy wood burner. The lounge is of a good size and has been comfortably furnished to provide guests with a homely atmosphere. The two bedrooms in the cottage are also accessed via steps down into each room. Both bedrooms contain king size zip and link beds (which can be made up as 2 6 twins on request). The main bedroom has an en suite bathroom with shower over bath and a WC, and both this bedroom and bathroom have been tastefully decorated and furnished with soft pastel colours and grey hues throughout. The second bedroom is of ample size and has a slightly lowered window and is serviced by the shared bathroom across the hall which contains a shower over bath, and a WC. There is an additional fold out bed, suitable for a child, which can be made up in the master bedroom if required. Outside, you will see where the old mill wheel used to be attached to the side of the property, with the stream that leads through the grounds and down into the woodland area of the garden. There is a separate garden area for our guests with a picnic bench and BBQ for when you want to make the most of al fresco dining during the summer months. Just off the main lawn, you will find a path which leads down into a magical garden somewhere both adults and children will love exploring. The driveway has plenty of space for two cars, and the steading is attached to the owner s property.
