About this property
Overlooking the rural greenery of Cruden Bay Golf Club in the heart of the picture-perfect village of Cruden Bay, rests this delightful bungalow, Craigievar. Set across one level and enjoying easy access to the rugged coastline of Aberdeenshire, Craigievar makes an excellent choice for a group or family of six’s next adventure to Scotland. On arrival, you’ll be delighted to uncover three off-road parking spaces, so you can unpack, settle in and get your break off to a swift start! After an eventful day of exploring the area, make your way to the spacious kitchen/diner which offers all the essential amenities to help prepare mouthwatering dishes, whilst the adjoining utility is equipped with a washing machine and tumble dryer to help freshen up your holiday attire! Uncork a bottle of wine and gather together at the dining table to indulge in the fruits of your labour before carrying the conversation outside to the front garden, where you can soak in the far-reaching views across the surrounding greenery towards the glistening waters of the coast beyond sitting on the lovely provided furniture. Afterward, progress to the wonderful sitting room and curl up on the seating together in front of your favourite movie, or escape the excitement and indulge in a blissful soak in the bath. As the day draws to a close, be enticed by three well-presented bedrooms, including two doubles, one benefiting from access to its own en-suite, and a pull-out trundle bedroom; catch your rest in one of these, ahead of an exciting day filled with excursions. Take advantage of your close proximity to the well-kept green of Cruden Bay Golf Club, renowned as a architectural masterpiece, and spend a peaceful afternoon testing your swing with the spectacular backdrop of the shores of Aberdeenshire, or head to the glorious sands of Cruden Bay Beach to truly soak in your coastal setting. The 16th century remains of Slains Castle can be found nearby, perched in an elevated position upon a clifftop overlooking Cruden Bay. The Trump International Links Course and Royal Aberdeen Golf Course can also be found nearby, offering fans more opportunities to play a tournament or two! The Bennachie Visitor Centre, set amidst a lovely range of hills, is also within reach and makes for a great day out packed with hiking amidst the dramatic scenery. For more fun outdoors, be sure to visit Forvie National Nature Reserve, the Pitmedden Gardens and the award-winning Aden Country Park & Farm Museum. For a wonderful escape, choose Craigievar.

It really feels like a home away from home, with everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The house is spacious, clean, and those views â we haven't tired of them yet. It's dog-friendly, with a big garden and amenities like dog bowls, towels, and poo bags available. The owners are friendly and helpful, always ensuring we had everything we needed. We enjoyed the lovely walks to the beach and Slains Castle. There are also two hotels with restaurants nearby, both welcoming dogs, making dining out very convenient. We will definitely stay here again whenever we are in the area.
