Description from owner
Description
Brae Cottage has a very special place in my heart- it is where, as a child, I was brought for family holidays. Although it retains its traditional looks it has now been completely renovated, enlarged and brought up to date to provide all the benefits of modern living.
Snuggle up by the cosy open fire on a wintry day,
enjoy the evening sun and views of the Ythan Valley on a warm summer's evening and use the cottage as a great base to explore the best that Aberdeenshire and the Aberdeen area have to offer.
Situated close to several popular wedding venues (e.g. Schivas House and Newton Steading, Meldrum House, Thainstone House, Pittodrie House, Haddo House) the cottage is an ideal base either for bridal parties or their guests as accommodation at the venues can be limited. We can offer 3 or 4 day wedding packages with some extra touches and are very happy to discuss your own requirements.

“Perfect New Year Gettaway”
Had a wonderful stay with friends and one ‘furbaby’ in Brae Cottage. Three good sized bedrooms one en suite. Lounge with real fire. Whole house even the conservatory was cosy. Kitchen had everything needed and there were plenty of towels and 6 robes perfect for hot tub. Wonderful views down to Methlick. Enjoyed lovely shore walk at Seal Beach just 1/2 hour drive. Sarah had beautifully decorated the cottage for Christmas. Can’t recommend enough
