Absolutely beautiful cottage! We recently stayed here as a family of 4, with an elderly parent travelling with us, the layout and accessibility is brilliant for families. Well equipped kitchen made cooking easy, cosy living room and brilliant games room! The hot tub was also a lovely extra. The beds were really comfortable, and all rooms felt spacious and clean. Would 100% stay here again. The communication prior to arrival was clear and friendly, thank you for a lovely stay.

Excellent location to explore Aberdeenshire area. Fantastic and well equipped cottage. Hosts have thought of almost everything that guests will need. The games room was a nice touch too. And the welcome pack was the icing on the cake!

We have just returned from Benwells after a fantastic week! The cottage has everything you need and more. So well equipped and the games room and hot tub make this a really special place to stay. Lynne was so helpful when we had a car mishap and we couldn’t have asked for more from this beautiful cottage.Only downside is that we live too far away to come here again any time soon! Highly recommend Benwells for a peaceful get away.
