This traditional stone holiday cottage with a large enclosed garden is situated near the River Deveron, opposite Aswanley.
The Interior
The cottage has two bedrooms upstairs, a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a twin room. Downstairs, there is an additional bathroom and another toilet in the utility room next to the back door. The holiday cottage has an open plan kitchen and dining room, and spacious sunny conservatory. The sitting room has Sony Bravia 32″ LCD TV with Freeview and an open fire (with fire guard). The cottage has WI-FI.
The garden
The cottage has large enclosed garden perfect for children and dogs to run around in. It’s just a short walk from the cottage down to the River Deveron (you can walk across the fields if there is no livestock in them, otherwise the first 1km is along the road).
Activities
The proximity to the River makes the cottage ideal for fly fishing holidays, especially people who are trying fly fishing for the first time, as some of the easiest pools to fish on the River Deveron are within walking distance of the cottage.
There are bike rides straight from the door. Route maps of six short local cross country routes are available on arrival at the cottage (from a 2km walk – 12 km ride). There is good road riding from the cottage; a favourite is a 24 mile loop (with 500m of climbing) towards Dufftown, then to the Cabrach and back to Glass. Nearby, in the Cabrach, there are 4 new waymarked walking and cross-country routes (8 miles away) and the nearest purpose built mountain bike trails are at Moray Monster Trails (20 miles away) and Glenlivet Estate near Tomintoul (29 miles).
