Located amongst the rolling hills near the little town of Huntly, relax and slow down in beautiful Aberdeenshire and enjoy the tranquil countryside, quiet lanes, rich history and fantastic places to explore. Ideal for couples and small families that love the great outdoors, walking, cycling, skiing and fishing are all readily available on your doorstep. When the day is done, return to the warm welcome of this charming and quirky steading conversion to relax in front of the roaring wood burner.

 

High ceilings and cream walls give a sense of space and light, with smaller door frames throughout a charming quirk, simultaneously creating a cosy atmosphere. The interior layout is unusual, with steps in various rooms adding to the overall character, one of contemporary elegance with an authentic twist.

 

Up steps and into the hall, exposed brickwork leads you to a small dining area for four people to enjoy sociable mealtimes. The kitchen, compact and simple, has a beautiful Belfast sink within a wooden dresser. From here, steps lead to the patio and garden area, so open those doors and let the fresh air flood in. The elegant, and at the same time, homely lounge entered at mezzanine level has high ceilings yet remains cosy once the wood burner is lit. Perfect for resting walk-weary limbs, settle on the comfortable sofa for a movie night. Wake refreshed in tastefully decorated king-size bedrooms, furnished with soft pastel colours and grey hues. There is an additional fold-out bed in the master bedroom if required, and a soak in the roll-top bath is a daily event not to be missed.

 

Attached to the owner’s property, the steading is also close to a babbling stream which leads down into the shared, woodland area. There is a separate garden for guests with a picnic bench and BBQ ideal for al fresco dining during the summer months. Children will love following the path from the main lawn into a ‘fairy garden’, perfect for hours of exploring and play. Parking is available for two cars.

The cottage was lovely and we felt at home especially relaxing in the lounge. It was spotlessly clean and the king size bed was very comfy, the bedroom decor was very much to my taste, and the kitchen was well equipped. The area was quiet and the scenery very picturesque. We enjoyed walks around Aberlour, Dufftown and Leith Hall just down the roaRead mored. Thank you for the wine and shortbread which we enjoyed and hope to return in the future. Hide

If you want some peace and quiet this is an ideal place to get just that. It is only a short drive to Huntly: The Bank restaurant and Forbes Raeburn butcher are recommended. You can access the coast, Speyside and south towards Braemar with ease We were lucky to get to chat with Jan the owner who lived next door, who had relocated with his wife fRead morerom Germany, and is genuinely passionate about the area. He keeps the cottage very clean, all of the furnishings are comfortable, and all other facilities are of good and work well. (The hot water is very hot.) The garden area is a bonus especially if you have dogs. If you have a car with low sills / spoilers it may have difficulty with the access track, but it should not really be an issue for most vehicles. In short - really good. Hide

We enjoyed our stay in this comfortable cottage. The cottage is located in peaceful countryside and travelling about makes it the ideal location as we were able to visit many places. Also walks in the area.

Second stay for us at this lovely cottage in a beautiful rural location. This time in winter and we found it to be nice and warm with efficient heating and cosy with the log burner. Its very spacious and comfortable and well kitted out. The beds are very comfortable. Nice walks nearby- our dog loved the enclosed garden!

Woodside Steading is a comfortable, well-equiped and beautifully unique place in a gorgeous setting. We spent a very happy week here and found the kitchen easy to use, the dining room very handy and the living room cosy.
