2 bedroom accommodation in Fettercairn
With a lovely balcony to soak up the afternoon sun, this converted cornmill is ideal for a restful break in lovely surroundings!. Set in a wonderful location, the upside-down layout takes full advantage of the gorgeous views over the surrounding fields, with a contemporary glass fronted balcony accessed from the cosy open plan living area and kitchen on the first floor. A perfect spot to relax in the afternoon sunshine over a glass of something, while planning the next day’s excursion in this lovely part of Scotland. Downstairs are two bedrooms, one of which has French doors leading to a patio at the front, whilst at the back of the cottage, the garden with small, unfenced stream is accessed from the kitchen door.
Set just on the outskirts of the pretty village of Fettercairn, the cottage is within an easy walk of its shopand cafe. The Gothic Arch in the village centre is a memorial to a visit by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1861 on a route to Balmoral now known as the Victorian Heritage Trail. This famous trail takes in the scenic Cairn O Mount road revealing spectacular panoramic views over Angus and Aberdeenshire. The village also boasts its own distillery where visitors can take tours and sample the local dram.
There is a wealth of beautiful countryside in the surrounding area, including the Angus Glens leading deep into the Cairngorms with great walking, climbing and mountain biking. To the east there are pretty fishing villages, cliffs and excellent beaches at St Cyrus, Lunan Bay and Montrose. The area has lots of great sightseeing opportunities, including whisky tours, fishing, golf, castle visits, paddle boarding and sea safaris, to name a few, so you will definitely want to book a return visit!.

A truly lovely property in a quiet yet convenient spot in a pretty part of the world.
A truly lovely property in a quiet yet convenient spot in a pretty part of the world. Even in December, once the heating takes effect the cottage is cosy and homely. We loved the Christmas touches of decoration and how well-appointed the wee kitchen was. It's a simple 20 minute walk to the fantastic Roebuck Inn, under 10 to the Distillery visitor centre. Susan was really helpful with logistics and advice. We'd love to return.

There are some issues with The Old Mill, but very, very minor ones.
There are some issues with The Old Mill, but very, very minor ones. The main settee was a little bit uncomfortable, a bit dated looking. A wee box chair that would be uncomfortable for long periods. The cottage itself if it were occupied with 4 adults, maybe a little cramped. So that’s the downside…The upside is, it’s a fabulous cottage in a fabulous setting.The open planned upstairs has a compact kitchen; contained within everything you’d need, with a dining area and a large tv in a lounge area with a stunning balcony. This overlooks the farmland, a truly magical place to sit and relax. There are loads of windows, ergo terrifically bright and airy.Outside was dark enough to stargaze. The beds and bedrooms are comfy enough and large enough, ditto for the shower room and loo.The cottage was impeccably clean and tidy, with a decent welcome pack.The cottage is half a mile from Fettercairn itself, there is a cafe, ( amazing cakes etc) a wee shop (fully stocked) and pub/restaurant, both the food and drinks weee excellent. If you chose, you need not stray too far from the cottage. However with the Cairngorms, the Aberdeenshire and Angus coasts not too far away, you’ve loads to see and do. Moreover there tremendous walks around the Fasque estate straight from your doorstep The question you always ask after a holiday is, would you return, without hesitation🫡
