About this cottage rental
A comfortable, cosy and archetypal Scottish cottage steeped in history with a large, well maintained private garden, veranda and southerly panoramic view over the Earl of Airlie's estate to the hills beyond; the cottage has 2 bedrooms sleeping 4 people - 1 large twin room and 1 double room; 1 bathroom with separate shower, new kitchen/morning room with log burner and TV, sitting room with open fire and TV, and porch for storage. IT IS SITUATED IN THE HAMLET OF DYKEHEAD, A FEW METRES FROM BEAUTIFUL GLENS CLOVA AND PROSEN, ON THE EDGE OF THE CAIRNGORMS NATIONAL PARK. EQUIDISTANT BETWEEN BALMORAL CASTLE AND THE SCOTTISH CAPITAL EDINBURGH, THE COTTAGE IS ABOUT ONE AND A HALF HOUR'S DRIVE - both well worth a visit! Whatever time of year, there is something to appeal to everyone - Enjoy Burn's night suppers in January, celebrate Valentine's day at The Gin Bothy in Glamis with afternoon tea and gin prosecco, take a snowdrop tour at Scone Palace or Cambo Estate, visit the V & A museum at Dundee, enjoy outdoor theatre at Glamis Castle, the annual Scottish game fair at Scone Palace, local highland games, Edinburgh Festival and Tattoo, outdoor cinema at Scone, wild swimming and picnics in the local rivers, the annual vintage farming rally, halloween and the annual antiques fair at Scone Palace, St Andrew's day celebrations, Christmas concerts, theatre in Perth or Dundee and local farmers' markets. This welcoming cottage, surrounded by breathtaking countryside, is the perfect spot for keen walkers, golfers, cyclists, fishers and those looking to unwind at the end of the day with a glass of wine and a good book beside a roaring log fire! Rural, yet within touching distance of the coast and some of Scotland's great towns and cities - Winters Cottage is a little gem.

We all loved Winters Cottage - which has clearly been loved by the family for generations. You will love it too if you like wonderful views from a spaceous garden, peace, comfort and cosy log fires. This cottage exceeds expectations. Easy access to the cottage via a lock box, great communication with the owner, everything you would need in the kitchen, easy private parking, all on one level apart from three little steps up to the bedrooms, and even a surprise third single bed in the twin room (which is large enough to easily accommodate the three beds with plenty of space to spare)!

Winter’s Cottage felt welcoming from the moment we opened the door! It had been a long day of traveling from my friend & I, but as soon as we arrived we felt comfortable & were instantly relaxed. The cleanliness ratings were spot on. Clean, without any nasty product odors. Beds were comfortable. Bedroom heaters warmed up quickly when we got back late & house had cooled for the night. Great for sleeping!Sitting room was our favorite spot to unwind each evening. Especially cozy with fireplace going on a chilly night! The water was just like our at home, refreshing! No need for water bottles.We even enjoyed reading about the history of the cottage and looking at the many photos displayed on the walls. We could imagine what it was like years ago.Host was very responsive to questions. She also checked to be sure we made it to the cottage, were able to get in, & that the cottage was in order upon our arrival. The yard is well kept, flowers are lovely, & the scenery —made us smile non-stop! We greatly enjoyed our stay at Winter’s cottage! It was definitely our Scottish home away from home!
