Family-friendly vacation rentals in Aberdeenshire

Really lovely place to spend some time with the family - ground floor access was perfect for the less mobile members of our party and the underfloor heating was great! So quiet and away from it all and great for the dogs as well - plenty of enclosed space for them to run about and not far from some lovely country walks. A few minor niggles with the property but nothing to detract from the scale of the place. We were a party of 7 and it could easily sleep 10.

Beautiful place, beautiful view, beautiful wildlife! We absolutely loved our long weekend here, it was clean, comfortable and peaceful. We will be back!

The place is in a stunning location and host very helpfuo and that good we Re staying another week . David

Absolutely amazing. Very clean and exactly as shown on pictures. I was a bit worried about being cold overnight but the heating was working very well and kept us warm at all times. Netflix wasn’t working- I guess it’s to with the rural area so it affects the internet connection. We weren’t aware of extra electricity charges until the arrival but that didn’t affect our stay what so ever. Everything was spot on. Thank you!

Brilliant place could not be better very quiet area good value for the money lots of woodland walks from the studio. within walking distance of shops and restaurants

Fantastic stay at Capo Farmhouse. Brilliant location, gorgeous house and a very helpful and very responsive to any questions or help that we required. We stayed for a special birthday and felt right at home and staying with Caroline made our special trip extra perfect.

The cabin is lovely and we especially enjoyed the log burning fire and seating area with comfy swing chair and hammock. Steve was very friendly and helpful. Perfect place to go to relax and Forres is beautiful too.

I had an amazing stay!The place was stunning,extremely beautiful, quiet, and peaceful with breathtaking views. All the amenities were exactly as described, and everything was clean and comfortable. The small town nearby (just a 10-minute drive) was charming and convenient for anything I needed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

Everything was as stated, including kitchen bathroom utilities, and a some useful necessities, wifi ,spices, shampoo, soap, dishing/washmachine tabs etc and home produced yoghurt and berries to give me a headstart for my 14 days stay Jane was very helpful and answered my questions swiftly, and was just across the road if any need. So a very nice stay, and would gladly return

Our third visit and it won’t be our last. We love the location and the cottage is so cosy. It’s quickly become our favourite getaway and this was a January holiday rather than a summer one and it’s just as magical!

Lovely find. The Smoke House is like stepping into a warm hug. We all loved the quirkiness of it. The fabulous social spaces. Really enjoyed our stay. So generously stocked with essentials.

My family have stayed at this apartment quite a few times.The apartment was immaculate when we arrived with a gift of delicious shortbread left for us.The apartment is spacious, well equipped,comfortable and well located for all the amenities.

Perfect place! We had a wonderful stay at Sheila’s cottage. It is beautiful, in a peaceful location with incredible views. The cottage was well appointed with everything we needed. Everything provided was great quality and the place was spotless. Comfy beds, great coffee machine and a lovely welcome gift. We are regular visitors to the area as we have family near by, we will absolutely be checking availability here first when planning our next trip.

Great property in a beautiful corner of the world. Very near Balmoral Castle and great hikes! His dogs are very friendly and love to play toss.

The cottage and lcoation are absolutely beautiful; it was perfect for a weekend of walking with my two dogs and relaxing in the evening by the fire. Very quiet and peaceful and the back garden is fantastic. I would definetly come again if I'm back in the area.

Lovely peaceful place to stay. We loved the resident deer, the sound of the birds, the rabbits and the area was really beautiful with a few nature reserves just down the road. The cottage itself is very tiny, but has a lovely history. The WiFi works but is a little patchy but that's to be expected in rural Scotland. Cat (the owner) is very responsive and helpful.

Very central and nice apartment. And Gail was very friendly and the communication was great!

We stayed for a week at The Creamery and were delighted with how comfortable, light and airy it was. The courtyard was private and great for storing bikes and sitting out for meals or relaxing. Leonie is great host: quick to communicate and full of local knowledge, and very friendly. We like this area for cycling and walking and would definitely return. Torphins is only 20 minutes away on foot and is a friendly place. We thoroughly enjoyed a delicious meal at the Indian restaurant there on our last night.

Really nice house, quiet street, 10 minutes walk to shops & cafes, small but sunny back garden

Super spot, spotlessly clean and a very cute building. We enjoyed our short stay in the Lodge. Ideal for any group except perhaps small children. Appreciated the log fire on a very driech weekend.

Lovely cosy private cottage between the river and woods , a great base to explore the area with easy access to town , lovely local walks and community activities.Great to sit in the kitchen and watch the birds and squirrels in the garden .Jenny was a friendly host , the cottage had everything we could possibly require Thank you

Beautiful place to stay. Plenty of room for the family. Terri was a great host and kept us informed of location, check in etc

Stephen is the perfect Host, we have booked this accommodation for our men when working in the area a couple of times and we are always Happy with it, would definitely recommend.

Great place with some great benefits; gym, washing facilities, sauna etc. Would definitely stay again.
