Rowan Cottage Cairnborrow

Rowan Cottage is out near Huntly, in Aberdeenshire. It's quiet. Basically just fields and hills around you.

It sleeps four. Two bedrooms, one bathroom. It's got a 5 Star rating, which means it's well-equipped and modern. The layout is all on one level, so it's straightforward for anyone who finds stairs a bit much.

You get the garden to yourselves. There's a summerhouse and some decking out there. Plenty of parking next to the cottage.

The kitchen has a dishwasher and a washing machine. There's a wood burner in the living room. All the bedding and towels are included. No pets, I'm afraid.

You're a fair bit from a shop or a pub, about three and a half miles to either. Huntly is your nearest town. It has shops, a castle, and a museum. It's also on the Malt Whisky Trail.

For a day out, you can drive to the coast at Stonehaven in under half an hour. Dunnottar Castle is there, which is worth seeing. Aberdeen is about 45 minutes south if you want a city day. To the west, you're not far from the Cairngorms National Park for walking.
