Lovely property in a beautiful setting. Well appointed with everything you need for a short stay. Generous welcome basket included their own grown strawberries and raspberries which were delicious. We ate at the adjoining farm shop and the food was delicious. Location was great for us, just 10 mins from Inverurie. Would defo stay again if we were back in the area.

Not dislikes but a couple of small issues that may help others. We did not realise we had booked a lodge (Seton) that was accessed via an outside wooden stair. Don’t recall that info being shared in any of the ‘blurb’ we read before booking the lodge. Not an issue for us but it would be for anyone with mobility issues. Bedroom has a large window in the ceiling directly above the bed but there is no blind to cover it at night. We stayed over the summer solstice and it was broad daylight from 2.30am, not great for sleeping. Same in the lounge area if you were going to be using the sofa bed.

This was the cutest little cottage & a great way to unplug. My only issues was upon arrival, we pulled into the farm shop & tried to find signage or a place to go to “check in” with someone. After walking around the castle/grounds we finally found someone who told us the door is left unlocked for incoming guests. I didn’t see that anywhere in our check in instructions so I kept wondering what would happen if the farm shop wasn’t open, how we would have known how to get in? Location felt remote however it truly was short distance to a grocery store or food options. Breakfast was arranged at the cafe next door which was lovely, however upon finishing we thought we could walk the grounds & show our toddler the animals or cows considering it was a farm & after clarification you can not see or go near their animals or cows etc. Outside of being near the castle while staying in your cottage, you don’t really get to experience a farm or a castle or even walk around & enjoy the grounds much. That made slightly difficult with 3-4 four old who want to walk & see everything.

Lovely decor with attention to detail. Toiletries were lovely that were provided and the hair conditioner as good as any expensive products I would usually use. Spotlessly clean., also liked how bathroom had underfloor heating, and lodge already warm when we arrived. It lwas great that there was fresh milk, tea and coffee and biscuits and nibbles for when we arrived, after a day of travelling. Visited cafe and shop, had lovely varied breakfasts and some take away food, thank you, used the discount voucher provided. All food we eat was delicious., fresh and we did not have to wait. All staff in cafe were very friendly and hard working even though cafe was busy. Think it was the manageress who even took the time to speak with all customers including having concern for my mum ( who is registered blind). I have recommended to friends, and would definitely book again if in the area.

The aesthetic’s of the Castle behind the lodges. Mostly the Jam is amazing. This is the second time I have stayed.

This is the second time I stayed but first time I visited the cafe next door owned by the castle for breakfast. I did not know if you were staying at the castle you had to book. The lady was very rude when I asked for a table and said you better hurry and eat before someone is reserved to sit here. I replied well make the food fast and we will. That was the only disappointing feature apart from the room had gone up in price a year out and they are slow to reply on email.

Exceptional quality and finish everything about the place oozed charm and felt like a home from home. Definitely recommend a visit . Welcome pack was filled to brim and even fresh milk in the fridge. For a nice cuppa on arrival. Perfect. Ps wonderful bedding and comfortable bed. Spotless.

Only one thing there was no spatula but chef managed with other utensils available. I’m sure if we had asked we would have been provided one .

Perfect little cottage, everything you need, very comfy bed, a great shower, a restaurant next door for breakfast or lunch, or cook your own.....all round brilliant.

One wee wee thing, maybe just add a cloth for wiping units and cleaning pans. A bit more information for arrival. Didn't know what cottage we were going to, or what to do. Was just sent a generic email. Probably just an error, but the manager at the restaurant was more than helpful, and friendly.

The lodge was very clean, comfortable bed and good quality bedding. It was great to have milk in the fridge for our tea, coffee and a little basket of nibbles. I had booked a table at the Farm Shop for our breakfast but unfortunately there wasn't one available when we went there so we offered to take it to the lodge but the staff very kindly offered to deliver it and we didn't have long to wait which was excellent.

My only complaint is that I thought breakfast was included which I would have expected at the price I paid for one night as it was quite expensive.

Pristine, large, lovely apartment. Hostess provided the best raspberries we've ever tasted and strawberries were out of this world too. Location is excellent for visiting dozens of castles, stone circles, and the gorgeous Aberdeenshire countryside.

Wish we could have stayed longer! If I had researched more about the area, I would have booked a longer stay!

We loved that we were staying in part of an old castle with history, we also enjoyed the comfortable beds, how well appointed it was and the lovely hosts who left a basket of goodies which was huge and included a large amount of their amazing berries.

That we only stayed one night, could have nestled in here for a week at least.

From the moment we arrived everything was beautiful. Lovely cottage, super comfortable beds, able to cook our own dinner, generous bathroom. Lovely basket of goodies - all delicious. The grounds are beautiful and the farm shop next door just delightful. Had one of the best berry smoothies ever!
