About this property
Close to the River Dee, this property is in a great location to visit Balmoral and Aberdeen.. In an area renowned for superb fishing and golf, this wonderful property could not be in a better location! Just 50 yards from the rushing waters of the lovely River Dee and very close to Banchory Golf Course, this spacious and very comfortable accommodation makes full use of its situation, with patio doors from the living room offering an uninterrupted view of the river itself - where fishing may be arranged with the owner (subject to availability). With all modern facilities, it ensures a very relaxing stay in total comfort.
Banchory is a superb base for a varied holiday with Crathes Castle and garden, and Castle Fraser both well worth a visit. Also boasting two golf courses in the town, there is a wider choice in the surrounding area with excellent hillwalking and skiing available in the Cairngorms just a short distance away. A short drive leads to Ballater, where Queen Victoria first arrived in Desside in 1848. Although the line has long since closed, visitors can still visit the elegant train station in the heart of the town centre. Ballater is also an excellent base for local walks and outdoor activities. A popular walk leads to Lochnagar, the much painted and written about mountain by the current Prince of Wales.
Balmoral is easily accessible for the day and the local distillery at Lochnagar is well worth a visit, with tours and tasting of the local malt available. For an alternative day out, Aberdeen - Scotland’s third largest city, is well worth a visit. Many of the parks have been transformed into ‘flower gardens’ and are some of the most beautiful in Britain. There is also an excellent choice of restaurants and pubs and the livley city harbour comes alive in the evening with a number of theatres. Shops ½ mile.. 2 steps to entrance.

The house was in a beautiful location, The house was clean, well appointed and comfortable. We had difficulty with the oven, and were unable to get it hot enough to heat up our dinner one night, but we were able to get by just using the electric hob, which worked very well. We loved the open fire, and there was a well stocked wood shed. And there was a pint of milk left for us in the fridge, which helped us until we could access the local shops. There are lots of good shops in the Banchory, from smaller local traders, to larger supermarkets.

Lovely cottage. In perfect setting on banks of the River Dee. Quiet and secluded. Just needs a wee bit updating in places.
