Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Aberdeenshire

We absolutely loved our stay. Lovely comfy beds and a really homely feel about the cottage. We seen a red squirrel in the garden and lots of stags just outside crossing the river. We had dinner at the Fife Arms just along thr road and had a lovely walk too. Lovely friendly host too. Thanks Team Barbarella Beets

Our third visit and it won’t be our last. We love the location and the cottage is so cosy. It’s quickly become our favourite getaway and this was a January holiday rather than a summer one and it’s just as magical!

Lovely find. The Smoke House is like stepping into a warm hug. We all loved the quirkiness of it. The fabulous social spaces. Really enjoyed our stay. So generously stocked with essentials.

Beautifully located house near Aberlour, about 40 minutes walk into the town for the nearest shops and pub so a car is recommended, although the walk is lovely. By car it's 10 minutes to Aberlour along a country lane. House was well equipped, modern, comfortable, clean and had great views of the surrounding farm and countryside. The farm shop was an added bonus with meat from the farm we enjoyed on a BBQ one evening. The host is extremely friendly and responded quickly in our conversations pre arrival. Perfect spot for a family or group of friends exploring Speyside. Thank you!

I really love this cosy, private and beautiful cottage. I have stayed here a few times now for work and pleasure and it’s an ideal spot for both. I get such good nights’ sleep and the bird song is delightful. Everywhere is so green! The cottage itself has everything you need in it and it’s warm and cosy too. It’s a unique setting with a very special extra, where you can swim in their private pool if you wish. Thank you again for being really friendly and accommodating hosts. I’ll be back ! Or rather we will be- Matilda and Brown dog 😊🐾

Islas Cottage offered a lovely cosy space for our grooms accommodation for our wedding. Forbes was incredibly friendly and proactive in getting in touch beforehand, there was a really lovely care package of some essentials in the kitchen and some nice sweet treats too! The property was clean and well appointed, we would come back again!

I have never stayed in such a well organized Airbnb. I mean there were manuals for everything you can possibly have a question about the house, the area and everything in between in well put together binders, labeled, even with indexes. It was really thought out. of course the cottage was immaculate, spotlessly clean and the kitchen was so well put together, you could cook a five course meal in there. All the basics were there, not just in the kitchen but in bathrooms. Bed was super comfy, the views were amazing. I would 100% stay again.

Nicola’s place was perfect, we were playing golf over few days and very clean and sizeable with amazing fees over the beach. Nicola was very helpful and responsive with any questions we had while staying. Would thoroughly recommend and we’ll be back! Nick

Lovely little flat with great views of the Cairngorms. Very well fitted out, the lack of a TV was no loss as it made us do other things in the evening. Spotlessly clean. Didn't see Humphrey as he was on a bike ride round Scotland on behalf of the Samaritans, when we did need to contact him by text he responded very quickly and got things sorted out. Would totally recommend.

Excellent accomodation. Fantastic location, close to the beach. We loved the wee beach at the harbour. also recommend eating at The Ship Inn during your stay! Would definitely recommend this accomodation and would hope to return sometime!

Angela and Peter were fantastic and their place was so comfortable (love the beds!) and nice. Highly recommend!!!

My son and his family stayed in Diana’s place and it was perfect. Especially the games room which we all enjoyed. The flat was central to the village and all amenities. It was perfect and we will use it again.

Great place to stay in the Cairngorms. Fully equipped kitchen for cooking meals. Amazing whisky corner which my husband greatly appreciated.

Dan's place was fantastic! Lovely cosy flat with everything you need in a great location

Lovely flat, close to city centre and walkable to all of Aberdeen. Would recommend and would stay here again.

Angela and Marco's flat in Stonehaven was very spacious, comfortable and well equipped with a great view over the market square. It was a short walk along the shore to the lovely harbour with restaurants and pubs and there was a lot to explore in the local area. Parking was easy on the street right outside but there is also a car park in the square. A very enjoyable stay thanks!

We visited for my partners 30th with ages ranging from 5yrs - 80yrs and what a weekend we had. The house had everything we needed and more. The games room and hot tub was a favourite for us all with many hours spent in both. Colin was a fantastic host, great communication and nothing was too much. We realised there were no darts for the dart board and Colin went out the same day to get us some. Cannot recommend this place enough or Colin for his hosting. Thank you again for a lovely stay - we are already talking about when to rebook for our next occasion.

A lovely lodge - well equipped and beautifully located! We had a great stay and it really felt like a home away from home. Great for a family holiday!

What an amazing house and location. We have had a magical Christmas with everything we needed; walks, tennis, piano. The layout of the house and expansive living space suited us very well. The dog was as thrilled as her humans. The kitchen/dining room/glassware/crockery/cutlery are genuinely set up for a huge number which makes catering so much easier. As long as you don’t mind a short walk, Banchory is accessible by foot- you need a head torch in Winter! Definitely on the repeat list!
