Cottage holiday rentals in Archiestown

We stayed here a few days in May. The Cottage is very remote, but you can reach the next village in arround 10 minutes by car. It offers great views of the surrounding area. the hot tub was amazing. Also the fireplace. we came to do some hikes and in the end decided to stay a whole day in the cottage, because it was so great.

This place is amazing. Great location to travel around the highlands. Every drive is more beautiful than the last. The donkeys are the sweetest and the cows are so nice to hear and very curious. The little produce stand had eggs and potatoes to purchase which was great for breakfast before adventuring out. Nice walk into town to the pub and deli, even got to meet Percy the local peacock. Everyone is so very friendly. Robert shared local spots and even where to visit the hairy coos nearby. I am glad we booked this little oasis before the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Such a beautiful little get away with so many little hidden gems nearby! Was quiet 24/7 and we loved the peace and the amount of sun the garden and hot tub got. Such a cosy cottage and made us feel at home straight away, worth the drive! Thank you for a lovely stay ❤️

The house was wonderful - we were delighted with both the location and with the property. The house was immaculate, and beautifully furnished with some really lovely pictures and objects throughout. The rooms were all good-sized and bright with the kitchen/dining area overlooking the garden a real standout. It was very well maintained and it felt like a proper home from home. The location was really lovely too - nice and quiet with a very short walk to the beach. We particularly enjoyed our walks around the area and along to Chanonry Point to look for the dolphins. A local pub and a lovely restaurant were close by too which was a bonus! Our host, Eva, provided us with clear and concise information prior to our arrival and messaged us a couple of times during our stay to make sure that all was in order. This was very much appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend the property to others, and we certainly plan to visit again!

We had the most wonderful stay in Butlers cottage. The attention to detail and interior was incredibly thought out, we have never stayed in such a beautiful cottage. The fires were lit upon our arrival and ross was there to welcome us in and show us around. He was genuinely one of the nicest hosts we have met, you can tell he’s passionate about what he does by how incredibly presented everything was. The garden and grounds were stunning, plenty of routes to walk the dog and plenty of places to sit and take in the surroundings. The cottage is tucked away, very nice and private yet still easy to get to and close to the little shop! which we loved. We bought the homemade rolls kit and they were to die for, easy to make and ended up with loads of them to take home. We will without a doubt be back again soon, we didn’t want to leave!!!

Beautiful location - clear directions supplied by the host. Local pub serving good food within a 5 minute walk. Cottage itself was clean & within a quiet location. There is a hot tub in a separate building available at an extra cost - was also clean, ready to use with a plentiful supply of towels . Would recommend for a couple looking for a weekend away interested in walking or exploring the surrounding areas

This place saved our holiday! We were camping in the Cairngorms and ended up with a catastrophic failure of our tent on the second night. Booked this beautiful cottage at 3:30am and checked in just over 12 hours later! Communication from Laura was fab, and she was always on hand with any queries we had. Delightful little cottage, and the bonus of a hot-tub and sauna made for a very different holiday than we had planned in a soggy tent. Would highly recommend, and would certainly look to go back if we stay in this part of Scotland again

Truly “off grid” in the literal sense! It runs on batteries and a generator!! Despite it not having wifi we all had great 4G so never felt truly disconnected thankfully. It’s such a private place with literally nobody for a square mile or more probably. I would say in the winter you will need a 4x4 to access as it’s a mile down a dirt track! Amazing place and can’t wait to revisit :)

Lovely property with all necessary amenities set in a stunning rural location. Perfect for dog owners with riverside walks 10 minutes from doorstep. Exploring Moray and Aberdeenshire coast and countryside is all to hand. Great beaches, restaurants, golf courses and local attractions only 20 minutes drive away. Despite being immensely busy out on farm Gale was just fantastic and gave all the help and advice when ever needed. Home from home for me in a real uncommercial location.

We stayed three nights at this cozy place with our dog and felt very comfortable during the time, the house was very tidy and it is located in an absolutely calm area. It is a perfect location to visit Cairngorms Nationalpark and Loch Ness and one day we even visited the eastern parts and saw puffins. Would definitely recommend this place for everyone travelling Scotland.

We stayed for 4 nights and highly recommend. The cottage is clean, cosy and comfortable and is kitted out with everything you’d need. It’s well placed for trips to Aviemore and Kingussie, we visited Loch Morlich and Loch Ness to name a few. Really brilliant decor throughout and the hosts have paid a lot of attention to detail. The bed is really comfy too. We were lucky enough to see a woodpecker among other birds at the feeder outside the window, as well as a red squirrel which we loved! We also had our dog with us and he enjoyed walking and sniffing nearby the cottage. Unfortunately we had quite a bit of rain during our stay but even that didn’t seem so bad because the sound of the rain on the roof somehow made us feel even more cosy. Absolutely can’t fault this beautiful cottage and would definitely recommend to anyone considering.

Çalums place was neatly tucked away in the Cairngorms what a beautiful place cute and quaint and such a lovely gesture to leave special coffee pods condiments local Scottish chocolates and wine such a lovely little place with room to rest recover from climbing hiking running loved discovering Nethy cafe nearby with friendly staff and angie the owner so lovely thanks Calum your place was wonderful

This is a very comfortable, clean, homely place. It is airy but cosy. Lovely, roomy bedrooms with very comfortable beds and pristine bedding. Close to everything in Cromarty. A really relaxing home from home. Thank you Veronica, for a wonderful weekend

We stayed here for two nights before our return to the states to relax from our three weeks in Scotland. Pictures do not do it justice. So close to restaurants and pubs in town and the beach. Small lovely town and everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Next time I will spend more time here!

Very comfortable cottage in peaceful location yet only a couple of minutes walk from the main street of Braemar.

John's place is just incredible. We spent 2 nights here and had a lovely stay. The kitchen is well stocked. The washer and dryer work well. The cottage has so many personal touches, definitely an A+ for comfort. The fresh flowers and champagne left for us just added to our delight with the place.

A very comfy warm and cosy cottage. Situated in a lovely setting with expansive views to Ben Rinnes. A great base for exploring Speyside.

We had a wonderful time at the Bothey it was absolutely spotless and very comfortable. Sharon & Kevin were great hosts too. We would highly recommended this property. Many thanks Andreena & Neil

Great place to spend a few days close enough to the main centre but felt more secluded and private. Sheila was a great host not intrusive but always available if needed. Was great to have the little.amenities on arrival bread butter milk coffee etc. Definitely worth booking if looking for somewhere in the Moray area that is private but walkable to the town centre.

Traquair cottage is outside the main village but not too far. It is a great location for all outdoors pursuits, set in beautiful countryside, centrally located at the heart of the whisky industry as-well-as The Speyside Way. Comfortable and warm with plenty of hot water, it was the ideal place to base ourselves for a wee cycling holiday. Plus of-course, the whisky was great!

What a great place to stay. The hosts were wonderful and communicative. When we had a slight problem with the fire. they came and helped immediately. As soon as we entered, felt right at home, and then extended an extra night. Everything is in the pictures and it’s actually better. Great location for just walking and being at one with nature, even in the rain. One suggestion is the TV is very small and was challenging to watch TV. I think it would add a little bit more for a bigger TV specially on rainy days.

Wonderful Dairy Farm cottage with lovely host. The store & cafe was wonderful as well. We took the recommendations and drove out to the west coast beach and saw so many wonderful things along the drive! Highly recommend any of Carolyn’s cottages for your stay. We drove into Cromarty and along that coast area and found some great treasures to take back to the USA.

Lovely place to stay. Recommend a visit to the Craig Inn next door, great pie and chips. For those who like to cook, the kitchen is great. Beryl was a great host. Recommended.

Absolutely fantastic property. Beautiful views out to the sea/estuary. Lovely walks in the surrounding area. Would highly recommend this property.
