Vacation rentals with a pool in Aberdeenshire

A lovely cottage in a fantastic rural location. The rooms were all a good size and very clean. The cottage had everything you could possibly need.

This cottage truly is off the grid. The owner Tilly had to drive us there from Tomintoul 15 min drive. No other house in sight. Just pure hilly countryside with about 100 deers hanging out in the field in front of us. Amazing peaceful place with outstanding views. No WiFi but liked that. Good 4g reception and digital terrestrial TV with a DVD player and choice of DVDs. We made good use of the hot tub daily and the sauna and even braved the plunge pool a few times which has fresh water from the mountains. Quite refreshing. We did a couple of day trips to Loch Ness 90 min and G2 adventure 50 min away. Local village Tomintoul has a nice village shop with amenities and pubs and restaurants. A restful idyllic place and good value for money.

This was our third visit to the cottage and we returned mostly because our autistic son loves it but also because it’s just lovely. Spotless doesn’t cover it, everything was pristine and it always smells lovely. The shower is fab, I could’ve stayed in it for days. Access to the swimming pool every day you’re there is great, an hour to yourselves in a warm pool. But what makes this place even more special is the staff. We broke down on our way and Edward offered to collect us and because we were being collected, we were offered a 12pm check out. Going the extra mile for guests is not what you see all the time and it helped us immensely. The host and staff are genuine, lovely people. Our son loved it again and we will definitely be back again. Maybe on the bus this time but we’ll be there 😂
