  We had a wonderful few days staying at this lovely cottage just before Christmas to celebrate our ruby wedding anniversary.

  We had been keen to escape from the stress of Christmas and recharge our batteries and the appeal of a little fisherman’s cottage near the sea was hard to resist. The weather as predicted was awful but the cottage was so welcoming and warm with its log burning wood stove, lovely furnishings and decor. The bedrooms comfortably furnished with seaside themes and the beds so comfortable. There was a lovely welcome pack on arrival and the kitchen is well equipped with everything you could need. The upstairs main bedroom and shower room has a very low sloping ceiling which it takes a bit of getting used to and I did manage to bang my head on it once so something to be aware of but you only make that mistake once and just something to be aware of. Being a thick walled cottage, we never heard any loud traffic even though we were not far from the town centre. There are also so many decent shops nearby for supplies, eg. Places to eat, coffee shops, gift shop,bakers, fishmonger, co op, hotel, fish and chip shop etc all less than 5 minute walk away and a lovely harbour and beach 15 mins walk away. The cottage can comfortably accommodate a family of 4 or 2 couples or even just one couple like us looking for some peace and quiet. We loved our stay here and would definitely like to return again in the summer. Thank you so much for helping us celebrate our special anniversary and take home some lovely memories to treasure.

  After several attempts to make it to Drumhead Bothy expectations were high, and it didn't fail to impress.

  Just stepping out of the car the owners were so welcoming (& understanding of my previous cancellation / postponement). Throughout my weeks stay they were always considerate & sociable, imparting local knowledge that was greatly appreciated. The bothy itself is impeccably fitted out, the kitchen in particular is suitable for anything form a quick bite to a full roast! The view from the dining table over the hills is just a perfect start to the day - either soaking in the sun or watching the clouds rolling over the hills (neither disappoints, and changes minute by minute). And the waterfall shower is an ideal end to to a days walking round the Finzean estate and beyond. And as for sleep.... wow! A really comfortable bed & countryside peace makes a perfect combination. There is a lack of mobile signal in the area for some networks. But that's not necessarily a negative! Wi-Fi always available in the property. Thank you Angus & Judy, already looking at a return in 2024

  We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Angus and Gudy's cottage!

  From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with the warmest welcome and genuine kindness. The hosts went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and happiness throughout our stay, making us feel like part of their family. The accommodation itself was incredibly comfortable and impeccably clean, providing us with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We enjoyed spending time both inside the cozy cottage and outside in the beautiful surroundings, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere. Our stay happened to coincide with Eid alfeter, and we were pleasantly surprised by Angus and Gudy's thoughtful gift to celebrate the special occasion. Their generosity and attention to detail truly made our stay unforgettable. We can't wait to return to this charming cottage and will definitely be recommending it to all our friends and family. Thank you, Angus and Gudy, for an unforgettable experience!

  Just back from our 3 week break at Drumhead Bothy and it was well worth it.

  The accommodation was excellent with everything you could expect and more. If you found that it was lacking anything a quick chat with either Angus or Judy (the owners) would resolve this. They are excellent hosts and nothing is of any trouble for them, they make you feel extremely welcome and just want to make sure that you have an awesome time. There is a lovely secure garden which our pup enjoyed but be aware there is an indented pond. The views were amazing and during the 3 weeks we were there we experienced all the seasons Scotland could throw at us, we even had snow in April. This didn’t detract from our enjoyment and would definitely recommend this place to everyone. If we are ever up that far again this will definitely be our first choice of accommodation. Thank you once again Angus & Judy

  Drumhead Bothy is situated in the most spectacular place with views of the mountains.

  The Bothy is truly a home from home with everything you might need from the smallest detail, from the outstanding cleanliness and generosity supplied little extras. The orchar is so pretty to walk or sit for a while and there are great walks for dogs and children on the door step Our hosts were very welcoming, kind, informative and a delight to talk to, such a wonderful couple. ( and their two precious little dogs) We were a part of two with our dog and the Bothy is definitely set up well for four guests. 100% recommend Drumhead Bothy for your next stay even in the depths of a snowy time as I can assure you that you will not be cold. Lastly watching the wild birds from the huge apex window was a delight and mesmerising from early morning to late evening.
