Our steading, self catering holiday cottages, are situated in a beautiful rural location, nestled in the rolling countryside of Aberdeenshire and are perfectly situated for visiting the Highlands, the Grampian mountains, coast and are in easy access to the Costal, Pictish, Whisky and Castle trails. The steading buildings were converted into three self catering cottages and were finished to a very high standard in late 2008. They are comfortably furnished and fully equipped, offering our guests a cosy and welcoming, home away from home.

Set in their own grounds of around 55 acres, which include 18 acres of woodland, there is a diverse mix of wildlife, which includes Roe Deer, Foxes,  Badgers and Rabbits.  Buzzards  and

Kestrels can be seen hovering in the skies and Swallows visit from April to late September. We also have a wonderful mix of garden birds, which include wrens, blue tits, sparrows and many others.

The owners, Tina & Sid Hadlum, live on site and are available to offer help in any way, but we respect your privacy at all times.

Fishing, golf, equestrian, shooting and hill walking are available locally. For the children there is 'Tons of Fun' a centre for the younger children near Turriff. Or you can take a boat trip out from the fishing port of MacDuff into the moray firth and view the Dolphins and visit the Sea Aquarium close to the historic harbour.
