Blooming Heather

Located in Aberdeenshire's rolling countryside, this architect-designed lodge is ideal for nature lovers. As it's set on a family farm, there's plenty of room for exploring – pets are even welcome to tag along and enjoy some time in the fresh air, too. In the open-plan living area, large windows flood the room with light, while a log burner keeps things cosy in winter. Outside, a patio and garden provide space for relaxing in the sunshine. Those travelling with a large group may even be able to book the lodge next door. When it comes to exploring, you'll find Cairngorms National Park within driving distance, as well as West Aberdeen's shops, bars, and restaurants. Home truths: *Although one bedroom isn’t photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home. *While pets are welcome to join you and the garden is fully fenced, please be aware that there are livestock and horses in the adjacent fields, so pets must be kept under strict control. *A travel cot is available upon request if you're travelling with little ones. *You'll need a car in this area. There's parking for several cars in the driveway. *Parties and group gatherings aren't allowed here. *This is a family-run farm, and the host's family live in the original farmhouse on the grounds. You may bump into them during your stay. There's also another lodge next door, but the garden and patios are private.
