"THE BEST COTTAGE WE'VE STAYED AT" 2B2B pet friendly cottage with private garden

Scotland is magical. Whether you want to climb mountains, walk in the woods, picnic at the beach, enjoy fantastic local produce, play on some of the amazing golf courses, mountain bike through forests, follow the Whisky Trail, check out the fairy-tale castles or simply relax. Scotland has it all, and from Garden Cottage you can too. So come visit - relax and recharge while making new memories!

Set on over 350 acres and only minutes from beautiful beaches you'll find that Garden Cottage matches the photos, the rooms are light and bright and the towels are big and fluffy. Renovated throughout in February 2023 there's no hidden extras and we even provide "the little things" such as washing powder, dishwasher tablets and extra bin bags. We provide logs for the wood burner and fire pit and with no other holiday rentals you can be assured of a peaceful stay.

Graded 4* by Visit Scotland, and a winner of Trip Advisors Traveller Choice Award, all rooms in this single level cottage overlook the large private garden in this idyllic location. The cottage welcomes returning guests year after year, has neutral colours throughout, is very cosy and extremely well equipped with everything you need. It's all on the one level allowing access for all.

With a step -free route and accessible parking this centrally heated cottage has a large open plan kitchen/dining/living area with a wood burning stove. The kitchen is very well equipped so whether you want to cook a 3 course meal or enjoy a takeaway, there's everything you need. There's a full size dishwasher, microwave, fridge, electric cooker and coffee machine and the utility room, just off the kitchen, has a washing machine, dryer, iron & ironing board and a freezer.

The lounge/dining area has 2 leather sofas with a matching footstool and a bucket chair, coffee table, side table, large dining table with 6 chairs, a flat screen Freeview TV, mini Google Nest and there's a selection books. Doors from the living area lead onto the sunny patio.

The cottage very comfortably sleeps four in two bedrooms: both with Super King Sized beds (one of which can be made into twin beds if required so please let us know at time of booking). There's lots of room for your clothes as both bedrooms have a wardrobe, chest of drawers and bedside tables. There's also a hairdryer in each bedroom. There is a z-bed which is suitable for a young child (up to age 6 only) but please note this will reduce floor space considerably in the second bedroom.

The cottage has a step free ensuite shower room in the end bedroom and there is a bathroom which has a shower over the bath next to the second bedroom.

You have privacy to enjoy the exclusive cottage garden as well as the summer house overlooking the large pond. Outside on the patio there's a table with 4 chairs and bbq, 2 loungers, a wooden bench with outside toys stored in the seat as well as a couple of Adirondack chairs and a wooden picnic table by the firepit - and if you're bringing bikes we have plenty of dry secure storage for them next to the cottage in the outhouses. Please note: in the Winter months the garden furniture, loungers & bbq will be stored in the outhouse.

Linen, towels, electricity and wifi are all INCLUDED in the price and the recent installation of an environmentally friendly biomass boiler means this detached cottage is wonderfully warm 24/7. We will also pop in a small starter pack of food items.

Garden Cottage is just a couple of miles from the small villages of New Pitsligo, Cumminestown and Strichen with small local stores. Turriff where you will find the larger supermarkets such as Tesco, Costcutter and The Co-Op is 8 miles away. Turriff also offers a very good selection of local independent shops and several great places to eat.

If you plan on eating out while in the area you've lots of choice in Turriff and Banff but also the lovely little cafes and pubs in nearby Pennan, MacDuff, Portsoy, Fordyce, Gardenstown, Whitehills and Cullen.

We are very Pet Friendly, and welcome two well behaved dogs, but you MUST let us know at time of booking if any pets are accompanying you. Also, we do our very best to keep your costs down by not charging a pet fee, or ask for an additional pet cleaning deposit, and in return we ask that you respect our house request to keep dogs within the kitchen/living area only.

Guests are welcome to arrive anytime after 4pm, and to allow us to get ready for our next guests we ask that you vacate by 10am.

PLEASE NOTE Our rates DO NOT include for the charging of electric cars. If you wish to use the cottage electric to charge, please speak to us prior and at this time we will check the daily rate with our supplier and let you know the cost

Great cottage
The cottage is excellent. It is really well appointed and spacious. Garden is lovely and the dogs loved exploring the stream - sorry for the barking! Location is great for the coast, with some really beautiful beaches within a short drive. Overall, we loved the stay and would definitely return.

Perfect holiday home
We had everything we needed and more at Gardener's Cottage, which was toasty and warm. Anthony and Carrie made us feel so welcome. It was just as nice to hang out in the cottage as to venture out, though we enjoyed being near the sea very much. All in all a perfect place for a most relaxing break.

We stayed here over the Easter weekend and had a wonderful break. The property is located in a wonderfully tranquil part of north east Scotland. Everything you need has been catered for and the hosts are so welcoming. Spotlessly clean and modern, lovely and warm and ready to enjoy your stay. The welcome pack was a lovely personal touch when we arrived. Will definitely come back again!
