Set in 27 acres of grounds, this delightful house forms the north wing of the owners’ mansion. Dating back to 1687, the house is steeped in history and The Mews was added in 1842. The house has its original 1840 layout. Unfortunately there are no upstairs bathrooms as planning will not allow as the building is B listed. The house is conveniently laid out for family groups or couples with the bedroom areas accessed by two separate staircases on either side of a central lounge and kitchen area. On one side there are 2 adjoining bedrooms one can only be accessed via the other one, ideal for a family but not suitable for unrelated couples. There is a 48 bottle wine fridge in the kitchen which is well equipped but not overly large though you can seat 4 for dining. The dining room seats 8 in comfort.
Outside, guests have free access to the extensive walled garden at the rear and the parkland at the front, inhabited by the owners’ miniature Shetland pony herd and which leads down to a beautiful small lake with an island. An idyllic retreat, guests can explore the grounds or enjoy the many activities available in the area. Nearby, the Hill of Bennachie is a great place for walks, whilst the Lochter Centre near Inverurie (11 miles) offers outdoor activities to suit everyone, from archery to Segway and from go-karting to clay pigeon shooting, and much more! This is castle country and there are 14 of Scotland’s finest to choose from. Golf, fishing, and riding are all within easy reach in the area and there is a good selection of shops and eating places both in Insch and nearby Inverurie. Shop 500 yards, pub and restaurant 800 yards.

We stayed at the news just after Christmas for new year - 2 families with 4 adults, 3 teenage children and a dog.As soon as we arrived the owners greeted us and gave us full run down of everything we needed, the fire was already lit in anticipation of our arrival as too was the hot tub. We couldn’t have asked for better host who were around if we needed them. The accommodation suited our familles needs and was very well equipped for our 7 day stay. The accommodation is set in beautiful surroundings and accessible to a local shop at end of driveway and only 45mins to Aberdeen and castles etc.It’s mowed on the last 2 days and the kids had an amazing time sledging in the grounds of the house and building a snowman. Perfect end to a perfect holiday- would highly recommend 😃
