About this property

Complimentary Welcome Hamper

A complimentary welcome hamper will be awaiting you on your arrival containing milk, tea, fresh coffee, bread, butter, eggs, juice, wine and cheese, along with other essential items to prepare a light snack or breakfast. There may be some regional variations.

Discreetly set in Kincardineshire on the border of the Scottish Highlands, this four bedroom cottage allows you plenty of personal space with two bedrooms upstairs and two downstairs. With an open plan sitting room and kitchen, there’s plenty of room for enjoying an evening glass of wine - on a summer's night, enjoy the outdoor patio overlooking the cottage garden. Set within the Fasque House Estate, its four hundred acres are the natural home to a host of Scottish wildlife including deer, red squirrels, otters and eagles. This charismatic property can also double as a base from which to explore further afield with Aberdeen and Dundee only an hour away. An easy drive opens up a world of activities to try such as the visitor centre at Montrose Basin Nature Reserve which gives you a telescopic view of local wildlife, from migratory birds to seals.

      Lovely, clean and well stocked property. The food hamper was amazing. Unfortunately we could not get the bath in the upstairs bathroom to run any water and the handle on the oven door was broken. Otherwise we thought the property very good.

      prachtig huis, magnifieke plek, goede bedden, veel privacy en stiltetoch geen 5 sterren want was niet schoon genoeg en er was te weinig verwarming, de keuken kan ook beter qua uitrusting (pannen onbruikbaar, en keukenmachine gemist)
