Set in the heart of Scotland’s ‘castle country’, this spacious holiday home, sleeping 14 guests, is surrounded by spectacular rolling countryside and picture-perfect views. It’s the ideal spot for friends and family to gather together and enjoy a relaxing break in beautiful surroundings with wonderful historical attractions, sporty adventures and family-friendly activities nearby. The house has been lovingly restored to its former glory and is well-equipped with everything you need for an incredibly comfortable stay.

Inside, you’ll find three storeys with wonderful views over rolling fields and traditional country-style furniture alongside contemporary touches in calm inviting tones. There’s at least one bedroom on each floor, and ample room for everyone to spread out and find their own favourite nook of this handsome home.

On the ground floor, you’ll find the heart of the home: a bright and airy kitchen and dining area with a dining table for 12 and a charming Aga – perfect for the cook in your party. There’s also a separate formal dining room with a smaller dining table and a warming wood burner. After dinner, head into the living room where another toasty wood burner (first basket of logs supplied), a TV and comfortable sofas all call for relaxed evenings together. There’s a king-size bedroom (zip-and-link) with an en-suite bathroom, and a double bedroom with an en-suite wet room on the mezzanine level.

As night falls, climb the magnificent sweeping staircase to the first floor. You’ll find a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room which has a spectacular feature stained-glass window, adding a stylish splash of colour to the space.

As you reach the second floor, you’ll find the four remaining bedrooms, all bright and airy. Each one is individually designed with its own colour theme and has its own en-suite. There are two double bedrooms and two king-size bedrooms (zip-and-link and easily adapted to twin beds).

Enjoy morning coffee outside in your own private garden, where you can all relax and enjoy the views along with your four-legged friends. Walk down to the nearby pool house and enjoy a dip in the heated pool.  Plan great group adventures for the day and, on your return, enjoy a long soak in the hot tub as you all relax and gaze up at the stars. Private parking is available for guests.

Absolutely fantastic, three generations all together for a special birthday, the house was perfect. Great space, everything we needed, bedrooms comfortable and hosts available for anything. even prior to arrival. So much to do in the surrounding area highly recommend clay pigeon shooting and golf in Ellon.

This home was fantastic. Well equipped, clean, warm and set in beautiful surroundings. All 10 of my family had a memorable weekend with fun and laughter. We would all recommend this house and we had no idea it has the most stunning wedding venue next to it too.

We had a brilliant weekend! Newton House was much nicer than we thought it would be, photos didn't do it justice. Hot tub was brilliant and access to the pool was great. Edward was really friendly and helpful.

Super cosy home, great sized rooms, very comfortable and lovely log burner which belts out the heat. Beds are very comfy, place was super clean and Edward was very attentive during our stay, nothing an issue. Beautiful surroundings and very secluded, lawns kept very neat. Plenty towels for use, great hot tub and swimming pool was a big hit with theRead more kids, plenty of spool floats, inflatable balls etc for playing with. Hide
