Description from owner
Description
Detached sandstone cottage in a rural location.
In the grounds of Glenfarquhar Lodge, this former bakehouse has been tastefully converted into a unique two bedroomed character property.
The property was converted in 2007 to a very high standard, and has been equipped to a very high level. This is the ideal setting for families and couples alike.
The generous grounds offer large lawned areas in addition to private spacious nooks. The cottage enjoys close ample parking, and there are numerous private outside seating areas with a barbecue available.
This property sleeps up to 5 people comfortably, if you require accommodation for more than 5, East Wing is 60 yards away. This property is not able to accommodate dogs.
A cot and high-chair etc. are available on request for which no charge is made.
The cottage is light and airy and the décor is warm and inviting with quality fittings throughout.
A perfect property for anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing break away from the hustle and bustle, but equally a good base for exploring North East Scotland, with its castles, whisky distilleries and lovely nearby coastline, to name but a few of its attractions. All accommodation is centrally heated with a combi boiler for constant hot water. Entrance porch/boot room, large enough for a pushchair.
Living room:- A spacious double aspect Living/dining room, with 2 sofas - 1 of which is a sofa bed -, TV with DVD and freeview (small library) CD/Radio, Oak flooring with Persian rug. Dining table and chairs for up to 6 people. Small book library and games, with tourist information and maps provided. Steps down to kitchen. Bedrooms:- Both rooms are double aspect, and supplied with goose down duvets, and thick curtains. The larger room has a king size bed and also a single bed. The smaller room has a double bed.
Both bedrooms are extremely well appointed, and all Egyptian cotton linens and great towels are provided. The bedrooms are at opposite ends of the cottage, so great for privacy.
Kitchen:- Well appointed with ceramic hob and fan oven, extractor, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, microwave, washing machine/tumble dryer. A starter supply of tea, coffee and sugar will await you. All cleaning materials are also supplied. Bathroom:- A spacious room with quality suite, large deep Bath with shower over, W.C. and basin. We have a cot, travel cot/playpen and high chair which are available - Please note that only a limited amount of cot linen is provided - including fitted sheet -as parents prefer to bring their own.
The grounds are extensive, and guests may make full use of them. There are large expanses of lawn, we have provided some lawn games to help you take advantage of them, boule, croquet, and badminton etc. and a great variety of trees, shrubs and flowers.
This is a non-smoking property, and I am sorry but we are not able to accept dogs.

“Tranquility!!”
After staying for a week at Karen's lovely homely cottage we were reluctant to come home!! Everything was provided, including a full sized kitchen with washer/drier, dishwasher, microwave, cutler… More

“Wonderful cottage in tranquil setting - loved our stay!”
We stayed for 5 days and found this cottage to be comfortable, well laid out and in lovely condition. It had everything we needed - super comfortable beds, a great kitchen, Wi-Fi, and a great TV for late night film watching. Our Granddaughter Freya loved the bath, and parking right outside was convenient for loading and unloading our stuff. Fuchsia Cottage provided the ideal base from which to explore South Aberdeenshire, Angus and the Mearns. We had a brilliant day on the Beach at Lunan Bay, miles of sand and very few people. We visited Brechin Castle Outdoor Play Area much to the delight of Freya and her Mum and Dad, as well as Auchenblae Den, a little known gem of a place right on our doorstep. The Captain's Table at the Ship Inn, Stonehaven Harbour was visited on my wife's Birthday and is certainly to be recommended. Overall we had a wonderful few days and would hope to visit again. Many thanks to Karen and her Sister for being the perfect hosts and making sure we were always happy. The Cottage is certainly in a beautiful spot...!
