3 Bedroom Cottage in Aboyne

Birch Cottage is a late Victorian cottage which still retains many of its original features. It has been in the family for 4 generations, and we still have strong links with this beautiful area.
There are two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, accessed by a very steep staircase; downstairs there is an open-plan kitchen and living area, and a further double bedroom with en-suite toilet and shower room. The house faces South and has a secluded and sunny garden with seating area. It also has a small lawned garden on the other side of the little lane. The setting is tranquil, yet close to great amenities. At night you can hear the River Dee, and you may well see deer and (if you are lucky) red squirrels in the garden or on the lane. Across the River Dee is Aboyne, with pub, cafes, good shops, swimming pool, gliding club, & golf course; across the lane 15 miles of uninterrupted hill walking to the next glen. The cottage is an excellent base for exploring Royal Deeside with its opportunities for walking, biking, fishing, canoeing, bird watching etc. It also offers standing stones, Pictish crosses, historic castles, whisky distilleries. In the Summer there are Highland Games in the area, which people travel from all over the world to compete in; they are well worth attending! Thirty miles to the East of Aboyne is the city of Aberdeen, with modern shopping centres and other big city attractions, as well as sandy beaches, museums, and art galleries to explore.

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Birch Cottage, what's not to like? It is spacious, well equipped and tastefully furnished. The aura of the cottage is very warm and friendly and it still feels like the house is inhabited by a happy family. We especially enjoyed the combination of the open kitchen, dining area and living room. The stair to the first floor does not feel steep at all if you do it like a sailor during a storm: just lean forward or backwards. Even if the cottage is not located directly in Aboyne, it is close to the local pub and all other facilities we needed. Communication with the owners was perfect and they are are very friendly and generous. Recommended!

Summary: This Victorian stone cottage has been in the same family for four generations and has many minor features of design and equipment that show that the owners use it themselves frequently. It is located in a quiet private road about 10 minutes' walk across the bridge from the Boat Inn (excellent food and well-chosen beers and wine), and is very convenient for the Aboyne Water and Birse fishings on the Dee. There is an eclectic selection of books, maps, artworks and other objects of interest and an interesting mix of furniture, traditional and more modern. The kitchen area is well-equipped, with a washing machine and dryer in an adjacent utility area. The hot water supply might be a little limited for a party of six but was fine for two. The small front garden was very attractive, with a profusion of bee-friendly spring flowers and wooden outside furniture. Overall, comfortable and fairly-priced and we shall hope to return

Summary: We enjoyed our week at Birch Cottage, it is a lovely quaint cottage just outside Aboyne. Adrian & Vicky were very helpful and communications were good. The cottage was well stocked and we used the log fire all the time to keep warm. An ideal place to enjoy some peace and quiet and an escape from our busy lives.

Summary: This property is in a perfect location for a quiet peaceful stay, but with facilities within walking distance. It needs a few things to make it better. Welcome pack, bin liners, up to date info in the information pack. The fire hadn’t been cleaned out, there were cobwebs in one of the bedrooms, and a shelf full of dead flies in the conservatory. The garden needed some attention too. It was a bit overgrown with weeds. All this said, we still thought it was a charming cottage in a perfect location, and we would book again.
