The Old Mill Fettercairn

The Old Mill is just outside Fettercairn. It's detached. It's got a four star rating.

The layout is upside down. The living room and kitchen are upstairs so you get the view over the fields. There's a glass balcony off that room. It's a good spot to sit, but it can be windy. Downstairs are the two bedrooms and the bathroom. One bedroom has French doors out to the front.

There's a garden at the back with a patio. A small stream runs along the edge of it. It's not fenced, so you'd need to keep an eye on kids or a dog, but we don't take pets.

You can walk into the village in a few minutes. There's a shop and a cafe. The Fettercairn Distillery is there if you want a tour. The village has that arch you've probably seen pictures of.

You're right on the edge of the Cairngorms. The Angus Glens are about twenty minutes away for walking or mountain biking. If you drive for half an hour east, you get to the coast. St Cyrus has a good beach. Montrose and Lunan Bay are the same sort of distance.

Aberdeen is about forty minutes north by car. You've got Dunnottar Castle near Stonehaven on the way. Balmoral is less than an hour's drive west, up through the hills.

For facilities: it's got a dishwasher, washing machine, WiFi, and parking right there. Bedding and towels are included. There's a cot and a highchair. The entrance is step-free.
