About this property

Peterculter 3.7 miles. Resting near Peterculter, Aberdeenshire within accessible reach of the Cairngorms National Park is this beautiful, detached property, Holly Leaf Cottage. Located within easy reach of Drum Castle, Garden and Estate, Holly Leaf Cottage is a stunning National Trust for Scotland property offering wonderful holiday accommodation for a tranquil escape in Aberdeenshire, welcoming two guests, ideal for a couple or friends sharing. The property itself hosts a well-equipped kitchen, stocked with all the necessary appliances required to rustle up delicious homecooked meals before settling down in the dining room to tuck in. If you prefer to spend your evenings alfresco, why not take a stroll before sundown, soaking in your peaceful location before heading back inside and curling up in the sitting room; light the fire on cooler evenings or click on the TV to enjoy a movie. Retreat to the ground-floor bathroom to delight in a long soak or shower and when sleep calls, make yourself at home in the charming double bedroom on the first floor, unwinding and dozing off in preparation for another exciting day. This property is located close to Drum Castle, one of Scotland’s oldest tower houses, which offers visitors the opportunity to go back in history in its many rooms, including a library with more than 4,000 books, an exquisite chapel, built in the 1500s, a Garden of Historic Roses, and an award-winning wildlife garden where you can enjoy a picnic in the sunshine or take in the breathtaking views from the battlements. Roe deer, red kites, and red squirrels are among the various flora and fauna that call Drum's Old Wood of Drum home, making this an ideal location for nature enthusiasts. There is a convenience store and a café in Drumoak Village where visitors may eat lunch, and there are further services and activities in Peterculter.

For all of this and more, book a stay at Holly Leaf Cottage.This property can be booked with Ref. 1060438, together sleeping 4 guests.

The vibrant suburb of Peterculter - also known as Culter, is a charming location resting 8.3 miles away from Aberdeen city centre, sitting on the northern banks of the serene River Dee. Peterculter is home to a generous selection of shops, pubs, restaurants, a museum and heritage hall, village hall and activity centre, with historic tales found throughout attractions such as the quaint river of Culter Burn, and a statue of folk hero Rob Roy Macgregor, known for apparently leaping across Cutler Burn to chase away pursuing Hanoverian troops. The hustle and bustle of Aberdeen city centre is just a short journey away, boasting views of high cliffs, open farmland and rugged mountains, contrasted with sandy beaches and far-reaching sea views, as well as contemporary entertainment such as retail centres, welcoming pubs, exciting bars, and fine dining. Further afield is the extensive Cairngorm National Park, an adventurous and popular tourist hub spanning over 1,748 square miles of majestic views found on walking trails, cycle paths, outdoor activities, watersports and so much more! Peterculter is a lovely destination to experience the adventure, history and culture of Aberdeenshire in a more tranquil resting spot.
