This little stone cottage was an absolute gem. Tucked at the end of a wooded lane, it felt wonderfully secluded yet was easy to find, and that drive in, with the trees giving way to the cottage surrounded by rolling pastures, set the tone for the whole stay. The setting is absolutely lovely with the Cairngorm mountains rising in the distance.
Inside, the cottage was every bit as charming and well-appointed as described. Nothing was overstated, and it was spotlessly clean throughout. The kitchen was a real highlight: well-stocked with everything we needed to cook proper dinner after a day out exploring, which made the whole trip feel more like a home away from home.
Honestly, our few nights wasn't enough! We'd return in a heartbeat and recommend this cottage without hesitation to anyone wanting a peaceful, authentic Highland escape.

We spent a week in Ellon Cottage.
The location was perfect for us. We enjoyed the ability to walk straight from the door and our dogs loved their stay. We saw lots of wildlife both in and from the garden as well as whilst on walks on the Estate.
The house itself was very welcoming and the sofas in the lounge were comfortable.
The decor in the kitchen could do with a bit of TLC, particularly the paintwork above the worktops.
We enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider returning.

If you like solitude this is a great choice.
Very clean and comfortable. The bedrooms are tight due to ceiling height so be prepared to watch your head.
As an older couple we did struggle with the TV as we couldn’t get live TV, No instructions anywhere. We are app savvy but found it very frustrating , I think someone had messed about with it maybe should be checked after guests depart.
Would I stay there again Yes

Ellon Cottage proved even better than the photographs showed. The cottage was spotless, and well equipped. It was a delight to stay here due to its cosiness and warmth.
