Description from owner
Description
Windyheads Cottage is set on a gentle hillside overlooking rolling farmland, met by the sea and sky, you’re sure to be taken aback by the views. With a long, private, single-lane approach through the pastures of old, this rustic yet modern cottage with stone walls, jacuzzi bath, and underfloor-heated stone floors will be sure to give you the Scottish rural welcome you’re after.
As of 1st Dec 2021, there's a brand new, 8 seater log fired Hot Tub and Sauna which can be rented for the duration of your stay.
The space
On your return from hiking the hills or strolling along the beach, take a moment with a freshly brewed coffee at the front garden table to admire the breathtaking surroundings. Or just immerse yourself in the log fired hot tub.
Head into the cosy dining room for a home-cooked meal with your loved ones, before settling in for the evening in the living room with exposed beams and a traditional stone wall steeped in history – put your feet up by the original open fireplace and enjoy the rest of the night with the background crackle.
When you’re ready for bed, retreat down the corridor to wrap up with pure, 500 thread count cotton linens and the blissful, complete silence that awaits.

“Fantastic Staycation”
Lovely, quiet and secluded cottage with great views all around. Perfect cosy getaway for the October holidays. My husband and I went with our 4 children. Lots of open space for the children to explore. The cottage was absolutely perfect, with the fire place making memorable evenings of roasted marshmallows on the cold nights. The 5 bedrooms were fantastic for our big family, with 2 separate beds in two of the rooms if the children wanted to share. We will definitely be looking to book again!

“Most Amazing Weekend...Ever!”
I simply cannot think of one single negative thing to say about our trip to Windyheads Cottage!! Truly wonderful owner Graeme with great communication who was more than accommodating with every query I had before, during and after our trip. Perfectly secluded but not too far from a local shop for extra supplies, palatial countryside views and a toasty hot tub for relaxing and taking everything in! Coal fire that really warmed the place up surrounded by really comfy sofas as well as fresh towels on the bed for every person staying! Fun upstairs nook with 2 further bedrooms and a sitting area with velux window to take in extra special views - not to mention a fully kitted out kitchen with a spacious fridge. All my friends were delighted with the place and took Graeme's contact details from me with plans to come back many times in the future! Would highly recommend this cottage for anyone looking for some peace and quiet with unusual attractions such as Haddo House and Dunottar Castle not too far away if you are looking for interesting things to do - although we didn't need any attractions, the cottage was more than enough entertainment for us! Thank you so much for a perfect holiday Graeme!
