"The Sweet Donside Cabins are a little piece of heaven in Scotland, everything we could possible need was provided, we stayed in the Little Love Nest and the way it was decorated was absolutely amazing the added touches of pictures and ornaments was second to none, Lizzie and Brent are amazing hosts. Everything was spotless, the hot tub was ready as soon as we arrived and was such a treat with the lights all around the decking area. Each cabin is very private even though they are next to each other. We will definitely be back!"

Guise Cottage (UK46303)

Guise Cottage (UK46303)

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Guise Cottage as a family of 3. The cottage is in a beautiful location overlooking the farm and fields. It is very peaceful and the sunsets and sunrises were amazing! We loved sitting in the sunroom watching the skies and the animals and then retiring to the cosy living room with wood burner. The cottage was quickly heated and we really found it was a home from home. Beds were super comfy and the shower was excellent. Kitchen was very well equipped and we had all we needed. Liz is a fantastic host and it was great to have her on site in case we needed anything. Our son loved watched the sheep, cows, donkey and pony. We stayed here to be close to family in Alford. Highly recommend the Forbes Arms - we had a lovely meal. Itâ€™s such a beautiful area and Craigievar Castle is very nearby. We visited Castle Fraser also and did a small Speyside Distillery tour. Mither Tap is nearby for the hill walkers. just too much to fit in during a weekâ€™s stay! The weather definitely made it for us as well. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a lovely stay and keep up the fantastic work on the beautiful farm. We were in awe watching all you do."
