Cottage vacation rentals in Gardenstown

We had a lovely mini break for my mum's birthday, the accommodation was perfect. Peaceful and private with a great enclosed garden for my daughters to run around. Inside the accommodation was beautiful, very homely. We will definitely return in the future.

The best Airbnb we have ever stayed in. Beautiful location, cozy, relaxing and peaceful. Property had everything we needed. Stunning views from the Hot Tub. Host recommend booking a meal at local hotel and it was fantastic. Would highly recommend Brae Cottage.

Windyheads Bothy is a wonderful getaway. It has fantastic views and is surrounded by wildlife. There’s a fabulous widescreen fireplace which kept the living room nice and toasty. The place was great for a big family holiday.

Lovely, cosy holiday home with amazing scenic walks round about. Hot tub is a added bonus to relax after a day of exploring. Deff recommend going down to the River Dee which is round the back and skim some stones. We saw geese and Highland cows which made the walk so pleasant. Highly recommend. Thank you for a lovely stay.

We stayed here for a week with our grown children and their partners. Alasdair's cottage was perfect. It immediately felt cosy and comfortable. The games barn was a fun addition, and a great place to store our bikes when not in use. We got the hot tub going and once up to temperature it was easy enough to keep it ticking over for several evenings. The kitchen was well appointed, enough utensils, crockery and pans for us to cook each night. The cottage is next to open fields and farm land with quiet roads that lead to Cublin Forest. This was an amazing place to explore on foot and on bike, especially the peninsula that runs along the Findhorn Estuary and into the sea. Deserted beach and inquisitive seals. We also drove about an hour north to do some hiking at Glenmore in the Cairngorms. After our busy days adventuring it was always great to return to the cottage to relax and sleep soundly in the super size comfortable beds.

My husband and I and our 20 year old daughter had a wonderful stay at Butler Cottage. The estate grounds are amazing with a mix of woodland and farm fields scattered over the hills. We enjoyed daily walks done and along the river. If your animal lovers like we are it was extra special. The Highland cows and sheep add beauty to the scenery, but the deer, hares, pheasants and other birds of prey really add the wow factor. The cottage is full of charm with an old world feel. It’s been very smartly renovated and decorated and is in great condition. We loved the farmhouse style kitchen which is open to a comfortable living room with high ceilings. The built in beds are beautifully done and although on the small side we enjoyed the authentic touch. The wood stoves on each end of the cottage work well to add extra warmth in the evenings. Ross was a gracious host. The place was with fresh flowers and a basket of fresh goods from the farm. He even had the fire started for the hot tub.

We visit Scotland every year and we’ve stayed in some wonderful places over the last 21 years. Gale’s place is definitely one of our top three favourites! Goodness - it is impeccably furnished, comfortable and wonderfully spacious. We absolutely loved the evenings by the fire, the bright and airy conservatory, the comfortable kitchen, extremely generous bedrooms and table tennis. We will most definitely be back if they’ll have us!

Another perfect stay at no.30. We love staying in Elaine’s beautiful home. Cosy, comfortable and well equipped. We could sit and stare out to sea all day. Planning our next trip already. Thank you again!

Great 3 night stay over a long weekend. Sue was so helpful from as soon as we booked to after we checked out as we had forgotten an item when checking out. Sue met us upon arrival and was very warm and inviting. We were given lots of local tips for the area. The location is stunning with great views and very open and airy feeling! We all felt very at home very quickly. We would 100% look to stay here again and have already recommended this location and this host to a good few people.

Lovely little cottage.

Spent a great week here with family, and we all felt at home. The property feels nice and secluded but is only a 10 minute drive from everything you need. loads of options for days out with or without kids and walks within reasonable driving distance. Bea was always easy to contact and very nice to communicate with if needed. highly recommend

We had a magical stay at the cottage! The pictures don’t do justice to it and we highly recommend getting better pictures. We got very lucky with the weather, saw sun, rainbow and snowfall! The place is also aptly located for northern lights sightings. We got amazing sightings from the cottage on two nights. The Aga kitchen is 5 stars in itself! We loved bringing in new years at the cottage with our little baby. The cot and high chair were both super helpful. Thank you Jennifer for being so responsive and helping our stay.

Beautiful little cottage in a super peaceful village. Great place to stay just outside of Aberdeen 😄 Michelle is a superb host, always on hand to answer questions and made us feel super welcome. Would stay here again anyday!

The cottage is lovely, very welcoming to dogs and the views of the bay are gorgeous. We enjoyed our time staying there.

Great stay in a beautiful cottage, so well equipped and very comfortable in a quiet area. Lovely place so close to the beach my grandson loved it as well. Recommend the Cullen Skink soup at Lily’s Cafe, very tasty

Lovely wee hidden gem. Just spent a very chilled few days. Found the cottage cosy an comfortable and a good base for travelling to all local tourist attractions. Kath gos above and beyond as a Airbnb host,very thoughtful and considerate. Throw into the mix the surrounding neighbours whom are extremely friendly. All makes your time a wonderful stay.

We had a great holliday. Location and the house were both perfect! The house was spotless and everything you need is there. Lots of great walks from the cottage. We all (family with 3 kids) had a wonderfull holiday.

We have stayed in Nanas cottage before knew what to expect. We weren't disappointed. It was as clean and comfortable as before. David has obviously gone to a lot of trouble to make it a welcoming place to stay and Findhorn itself is a lovely place to visit.

Great cottage to stay in. We loved being able to visit the spey side distilleries. Rachel had the travel cot for our toddler set up when we reached the listing. Nice neighbors and even saw a pheasant!

Great location away from the noise of the city centre, the cottage was lovely and clean and had very comfortable beds. I enjoyed the privacy and the surrounding views.

The cottage was a perfect place to meet our needs with Liz as host being flexible and most helpful. The cottage throughout is finished to a high spec and is beautifully appointed. Liz added many extra touches to make us feel at home. Although we were visiting relatives nearby, the location is perfect to explore Deeside and would be an ideal location for outdoor sports such as fishing, golfing & walking.

A great location for people exploring the region, or like us, birdwatching
