    There was nothing we didn’t like.

    Extremely comfortable and well appointed cottage, perfect for our short break in Aboyne. Great location and the cottage was cleaned to a very high standard.

    Beautiful cottage and very well equipped, lovely welcome pack. The cottage was spotlessly clean. My only comments and they are comments and not complaints and certainly would not stop me from staying again - double bed felt small especially when we are used to a king size and shower gel would have been nice touch (probably because I forgot mine). Thanks to Brenda for an amazing property - just beautiful

    The only thing that wasn’t 10/10 was it would have been nice for the TV to be a smart TV so streaming services can be played on the tv from a phone or tablet etc.

    Great location and very private , lots of space for kids to run around and modern house.

    Property was easy to find, we travelled from Dundee. Quiet area, well kept location. Property absolutely exceeded our expectations it was absolutely stunning. Initial walk in thought was wow this is nice very well maintained, then walked through to kitchen/diner then followed through livingroom/hall bedrooms etc and it just kept getting better and better. Extremely clean and fresh! Large drive way, and entry to property. All extremely well maintained and kept, especially for this time of year can be tricky with leafs falling off tree etc. a little welcome pack was left, with things such as bread/eggs and milk which was very thoughtful and added a lovely touch. We ate in the local bar/restraunt food was excellent. No complaints Not a single bad word to say about our stay here at Westwood cottage, will absolutely be booking again and recommending to friends and family.

    We liked it all

    Excellent location approximately half along the Deeside road which makes it superb for exploring Deeside but also only about an hour or so away from the East Coast. Plenty of private parking for a number of cars Also good location for visiting Aberdeen City. Excellent host who made sure we had everything we needed. We will stay again when visiting Deeside.

    The cottage was beautiful, everything good quality and very comfortable. Perfect for our family of 4 for a long weekend in Deeside and in easy reach of Aberdeen for an event we were attending. Aboyne is also lovely, though a small village it has great facilities - a small supermarket, butchers, Indian restaurant and pub. The golf course also looked good and accepts guests, though we didn't try that. Local walks are good, hills not so steep as nearby Cairngorms but still get good views from the top.
