Set in peaceful countryside overlooking splendid views of the Grampians, this wonderful period property is an idyllic hideout on the cusp of the Cairngorms National Park. Set out on an adventure with all the family, or sit back and stargaze under excellent dark skies from this peaceful and secluded retreat.

 

The detached cottage is characterful with huge rooms, all brimming with country-style charm. Tasteful wooden detailing complements the natural surroundings, while the view from every window is of spectacular unspoilt mountains, with large mature gardens at the foreground.

 

Enter through the hall to find a large, bright lounge with inviting wood burner where you can sit back with a dram of whisky, warming up after a day in the great outdoors. Or simply lose yourself in a film with the Smart TV. Next door, a spacious sunroom with panoramic views of that magnificent mountain scenery also sports a wood burner for keeping cosy on the cooler evenings. Through the lounge, cook up a storm in the well-equipped kitchen and enjoy a hearty meal at the large dining table. Also on this floor is a convenient ground-floor king-size bedroom and modern bathroom with bath and separate shower. Upstairs, a double bedroom with en-suite and a twin bedroom of  which each have beautiful views over the countryside.

 

Outside, bask in the large grounds enjoying the fresh air and spectacular panoramic views of the fields and mountains.

We had a wonderful week at Ferneyhowe last week. Warm and cosy, two log burners, plenty of room to get clothes dry. Usually there are essential things missing when you rent a holiday home - not here! Every home comfort has been thought of.

We enjoyed our week at Ferneyhowe Croft, one week was not enough time to explore, it was our second visit to Cairngorms and no doubt not our last. The Lonach Gathering was a joy, fishmonger & restaurant in Ballater excellent as was our return visit to a refurbished Kildrummy Inn. The house was warm welcoming and well equipped and the outside area gRead morereat for children and adults playtime! Our hosts were charming and available when needed but not intrusive. Hide
