The cottage is only a few miles from the bustling seaside town of Stonehaven: the wonderful open air Olympic sized heated swimming pool, open in the summer, attracts many visitors and the bustling harbour is a great place for a meal or drink overlooking the comings and goings. Wander around the interesting shops, or try a round at the local 18-hole golf course. The nearby Dunnottar Castle, sitting on the rugged coastline, is well worth a visit, and if you are here at New Year, you should not miss the Fireballs, a spectacular display where locals swing flaming spheres through the harbour to ward off evil spirits before throwing them in the sea. The cosmopolitan city of Aberdeen is a mere 15-minute drive, with a multitude of activities and attractions. Inland, visit the scenic Royal Deeside valley with picturesque towns and villages and the many castles including Balmoral. Further afield you’ll find ‘The Whisky Trail’ with centuries-old distilleries across the region or enjoy family days out with superb walks, cycle routes and clean sandy beaches.

We couldn’t be more thrilled with our stay at Sauchenshaw cottage, great communication and a brilliant welcome. Everything we could have wanted in the home with lovely arrival treats. The house was spotless and welcoming. We are already planning when we could come back and stay again!!Thank you again.

A wonderful versatile property with an interesting history. Alison and Ron are very accommodating and the bungalow has a garden to die for !! Would recommend for anyone, even if a mobility disability exists as there are only 3 steps to the side utility area door and a much easier access via the front door, the interior of the building is all on one level.
