The two traditional stone cottages on a farm at the foot of the Grampian Mountains 4 miles south of Alford (shops,pub,swimming pool,new 18-hole golf- course) and 23 miles west of the thriving town of Aberdeen (theatres, etc) make an excellent quiet country base from which to explore the very popular Royal Deeside as well as the countryside, castles and interesting coast of Aberdeenshire.

Easily accessible from the fast A94, or by air to Aberdeen airport (45 mins), this lesser-known area provides a wealth of fascination and history in its ancient castles - visit photogenic Craigievar, Dunnottar on the coast used recently to film Mel Gibson's 'Hamlet', the ruins of Slains Castle said to have inspired the idea of Dracula - its beautiful varied coastline of soaring cliffs, long sandy beaches, tiny villages and great variety of birds - its inviting countryside dotted with golf-courses, rivers and stocked trout lochs (permits available).

Follow the Castles and Whisky Trails and of course visit the very lovely Royal Deeside and Balmoral Castle.

Heating in both houses is by open- fire (some wood provided) and and electric panel heaters in Dairy and electric night-store heaters in Prospect Hill. Bed-linen and towels can be hired. Pets welcome. Both houses have telephones.
