This cosy retreat is perfect for a romantic getaway in Northern Scotland. Set in the heart of Banchory, you’ll have access to an array of shops, cafes and restaurants from your doorstep. Explore nearby walking trails to discover woodland and riverside wildlife or go fishing on the River Dee. Further afield, you can enjoy a round of golf, cycle through the Cairngorms or take to the ski slopes in the winter months.
Enter the bright and airy, open-plan living space, comprising a kitchen/diner and an archway that leads into the bedroom and seating area. Two brown armchairs sit beneath a large window overlooking a leafy canopy, and a comfortable bed is dressed in white linens with tartan cushions. A desk and lamp are ideal for writing postcards to send back home. In the kitchen – compact but perfectly formed – a small table is set for two, and shelves are filled with blue and white crockery. This colour scheme continues into the bathroom. Head outside to the private, enclosed garden to listen to the sounds of nature as you sip your morning coffee. There is ample parking available.
Being just 200 metres from the centre of Banchory, wander through historic streets lined with independent shops and eateries. If you like to spend time among nature, follow wooded trails or enjoy a spot of fishing on the river. At Cairngorms National Park (15 miles) you’ll find more hiking and cycling routes that introduce you to rare Highland wildlife, exceptional viewpoints and open-air museums. During the winter, if the conditions are conducive, hit the slopes at Glenshee Ski Centre (48 miles) or The Lecht (40 miles).
