Holiday rentals with a fire pit in Aberdeenshire

I had a lovely stay at this wonderful cottage. What struck me was how big and warm and cosy the rooms were. There was everything you needed for a holiday or work stay and more. It was particularly clean and tidy too. The bed was very comfy and the shower was super. I enjoyed the tables and work station in the kitchen to work on, as it was a work trip for me. There were lovely walks nearby to take doggy on and it was private and peaceful. We will certainly be back, thank you so much. Matilda and brown dog x

We spent wonderful 3 nights in Sandra’s place and it was just what we needed to relax and explore the area. The place is exactly as described. The kids especially enjoyed the climbing frame. Would highly recommend!

The house was fantastic. Great location and very peaceful. Great views of the mountains and walkable to town. Meip was a great host and provided food and hiking recommendations. House has a lot of history and very charming. Wish we could have stayed longer.

We had a wonderful stay in Kemnay! The house far exceeded our expectations and the location was within walking distance of groceries and drinks!

We were looking for a chilled break which also met our dog’s needs. The cottage is in a spectacular location, facing the sea with the coastal path right at the bottom of the garden. You do need a car to access this property which sits at the end of a single track lane, adjacent to the A92. The cottage was spotlessly clean, homely and very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped for self catering. We were very lucky with the weather and were able to enjoy the enclosed garden area. The coastal path walk to Johnshaven is very pretty and only takes around 30-40 minutes where there is a pub/restaurant serving great food, excellent cafe..”Hidden treasures” and a lovely gift shop, the Starfish Studio, as well as the harbour. Claire gave us some very useful advice about other dog friendly eating venues around the area including Charlton Farm and Picsnax at St Cyrus nature reserve/beach. St Cyrus beach is stunning and is a must visit. We plan to return soon ..so much to see!

We had such a brilliant stay at Lewis Lodge – already talking about when we can come back. There were seven of us (plus a couple of very content dogs), and the place felt like a proper home from home. The kitchen was definitely the heart of the house – the big island easily sat all of us, and it had everything we needed. We cooked every night: lazy breakfasts, full-on Sunday roasts, and everything in between. The log burner was a favourite too – nothing better than coming back from a walk and settling in by the fire. Speaking of walks, the riverside ones nearby are gorgeous, and The Balmoral Arms is just five minutes away – perfect for a drink by another roaring fire. Peaceful, welcoming, and just a lovely place to spend time with good people (and good dogs). Can’t wait to return.

A really great place to stay. Wonderful welcome pack, crystal clear, and comprehensive, instructions, and a lovely location. Rosalind was a very responsive, helpful and friendly host. We’d, certainly, recommend the property to friends and family.

really enjoyed our stay at Cladach. everything was exactly as described. we had a great time exploring the area. would definitely go back. Linda's communication was excellent.

Angela's place in Findhorn is simply beautiful and we had everything we needed from the amazing location, to the accommodation itself being exactly as advertised to the way the apartment is decorated and furnished. Angela made everything very easy for us; it is true, she does reply within 1 hour and we felt so welcome when we arrived. The fire was lit, there was prosecco chilling and the lamps we already on. The bay in Findhorn is stunning and the apartment is right on the sea front. It's a short walk to the sandy part of the bay to see the seals and there is a lovely pub, The Kimberley, no more than 100 metres up the road. Everything was wonderful. I would highly recommend Angela's place and we will definitely stay there again when we return to Findhorn. Thank you again.

Andrew was a fantastic host, home was really clean and was stunning. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a getaway in the area

Thank you so much - was the perfect spot for our band to stay being in close proximity to Barra Castle for the wedding. The place was exactly as described, clean and organised, and Darren was super helpful with check in talking me through the space. It was also a really lovely touch to have some food in the fridge - was much appreciated!

A really warm welcome from Liz, enjoyed the wine, scones, bread and beer! Tanar View was clean, well equipped and great touches all round, the log burner gave a really cosy feel. Fantastic walks all around will be back for another visit.

Absolutely lovely place that we didn't want to leave! Very quaint location away from everything. We were surrounded by farm animals, was lovely seeing chickens, rooster and even a peacock running around! The cabin turned out to be more spacious than the photos made it look. It was clean and well stocked with necessities. The highlight was definitely seeing the Aurora on our first night there! Would recommend to anyone who wants a peaceful getaway, 6/5 stars!

We really enjoyed our stay. Peaceful location with great facilities. Very close to ballater for food and activities

Lovely cabin, exactly as described. Portia was responsive and helpful. The place was spotless. Beautiful surroundings area, and a good place to stay for a base if exploring the local area, or using it while travelling around Scotland. Would definitely stay again!

Unique, cozy, secluded and tranquil. this glamping pod is the most amazing hidden jem. luxury, cozy and peaceful. everything you need and more. we will definitely be back.

What a fabulous place with the best hosts. Couldn't fault a thing. Everything was spotless and anything you could need was provided. Lovely comfortable stay. Lots of additional communal space which we didn't use but would have been great if travelling with friends of children. The hosts couldn't have done anymore for us. Definitely hope to visit again.

Excellent accommodation and excellent location. There’s a path next to the site which takes you up a hill where there are deer, nice for a short walk in the morning with the dog. I had a dog with me and missed the small extra payment on the info but the host was very patient (I even forgot to pay it the evening I said I would a couple days ago!). Would definitely go back. Thanks again, Nathan

The wee love nest was so cosy and beautifully decorated. The attention to detail is like nothing I've seen before! Just such a beautiful place to be and nice little walks in the surrounding area. The hot tub was absolutely wonderful and the hosts were incredibly welcoming and easy to chat to! 100% will be back in the future!

Switch off from the world and relax. Stunning cabin - can’t wait to come back again
