Family-friendly vacation rentals in Aberdeenshire

Beautiful lodge. My family and I had such a lovely time. We would love to return.

Thank you to Vivienne for allowing us to stay in her beautiful house. It was exactly what we needed after 2 very busy days. The hot tub went down an absolute treat. The scenery surrounding the place was incredibly beautiful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to relax and unwind.

Windyheads Bothy is a wonderful getaway. It has fantastic views and is surrounded by wildlife. There’s a fabulous widescreen fireplace which kept the living room nice and toasty. The place was great for a big family holiday.

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!

Thank you for your lovely space! The selling point really was the view and garden which was so much more tranquil in person. We were lucky that the house was empty so we had the space to ourselves. We enjoyed using the BBQ to make our Christmas dinner and although there was a limited kitchen space, it really was functional enough for the week we stayed. Highly recommend the Hot Tub purchase and a read of her book!!

We had a wonderful family break! We loved the outdoor space and the beds were super comfortable! We made use of the hot tub and BBQ and enjoyed days out to Stonehaven and St Cyrus beach.

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.

Another perfect stay at no.30. We love staying in Elaine’s beautiful home. Cosy, comfortable and well equipped. We could sit and stare out to sea all day. Planning our next trip already. Thank you again!

My family and I had a wonderful peaceful stay. Views are amazing. We were lucky with the weather and had BBQ on our last evening. Sheila was always on hand, a lovely host. If you're looking for a relaxing, peaceful stay this is a place to be considered. Thanks Sheila. We would in the future definitely come back.

Amazing place to stay- it was so relaxing being immersed in nature, and the chalet had everything we needed. Our toddler loved meeting the goats and chickens and exploring the woodland! Lovely, friendly hosts who made us feel at home. Can’t wait to stay again :)

We had a magical stay at the cottage! The pictures don’t do justice to it and we highly recommend getting better pictures. We got very lucky with the weather, saw sun, rainbow and snowfall! The place is also aptly located for northern lights sightings. We got amazing sightings from the cottage on two nights. The Aga kitchen is 5 stars in itself! We loved bringing in new years at the cottage with our little baby. The cot and high chair were both super helpful. Thank you Jennifer for being so responsive and helping our stay.

Thank you for allowing us to stay at your wonderful family home,. The peace and quiet was amazing as was the nature we were surrounded in. Your neighbours were so friendly too. Also thank you for also allowing us to stay for so long. It was perfect for our adventures. Can’t recommend enough.

This was a great spot to stay for our short break. Very close to restaurants, pubs and the beach was ideal for us all. Loved the private garden. Was also very quiet.

This was our second stay and as previously, everything was spot on. Great location, exactly as described, friendly responsive hosts and just a lovely space. Perfect for a family city break. Would absolutely book again.

We found the location and facilities of Lisa and Martins cottage to be superb. The cozy cottage is within walking distance to all of the local shops, pubs and restaurants but is still very quiet. We had delicious meals at the Clachan Grill and Balmoral Arms. Cottage is stylishly decorated, spotlessly clean with a beautiful garden area which the dogs loved. We found everything we needed for a great stay, Martin gave us some really useful tips on things to do and see in the area. Loved it here, the scenery in and around Ballater is breath taking ! Wonderful hosts, would recommend this cottage to anyone. Would book again !

We had a fantastic stay in Viewfield Gardens. Colin’s house is extremely well equipped, 2 receptions rooms, plus conservatory and a spacious kitchen diner! The bathroom was fab with a great shower! The house was spotlessly clean. It was a relaxing and welcoming place to come home to having explored the delights of Aberdeen. There is also a very pretty park within a minute’s walk! Communication with Colin was great! Lots of info before arrival - Thank you!

Ideally located in Central Forres with all local amenities easily accessed. House is clean, well equipped and great for a couple or lone traveller and is in a quiet pedestrian area just off the High Street.

Cute and cozy home that was perfect for my family of three (would well suit a family of four as well). Excellent location, will definitely stay again next time we are in town visiting family.

Our recent stay at Begona's 2nd-floor Airbnb flat in Aberdeen was excellent. The flat was clean, well-equipped, and provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Begona was a fantastic host, allowing us the flexibility of an early check-in and late check-out, which made our trip even more convenient. The location was ideal, with easy access to local amenities and public transport. The flat was quiet and private, making it a relaxing place to stay. Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend staying here!

Very central location, walking distance to anything you need. Good flat, has all the essentials and John is a very responsive and caring host.

Our stay was great. Area was quiet and within walking distance to groceries and restaurants. Nice central location and lovely place.

This was our third stay at Barra. I am still just as enamored of it as the first time I arrived. Food is amazing. Place is so elegant and sparkling. Great location for many adventures (including dropping me at the airport on my way back to US). Just cannot say enough good things about it.

This was an excellent house and the land was beautiful. Would stay here again.
