About this property

Cross the threshold and head straight into the open-plan living space where you can snuggle up on the sofas whilst listening to the gentle crackling of the woodburning stove while the designated chef of the group cooks up a storm in the fully-equipped kitchen. Later, retire to the separate sitting room for where you can delve into a good book while watching the sun disappear through the French doors or alternatively step outside to indulge in a soothing soak in the bubbling hot tub and watch on as the stars fill the sky. There is also a desk in the sitting room ideal for remote workers. When sleep calls, choose from four well-appointed bedrooms, there is a king-size with zip/link beds completing the ground floor, an additional king-size, a double and a twin room on the first; all serviced by sleek en-suites so you can wash away the day’s adventures. If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic dwelling, explore the fabulous National Trust site of Pitmedden Garden and Museum which lies paces away from the property and boasts extensive Scottish Renaissance gardens with forest trails or immerse yourself in the past at the Museum of Farming Life. Alternatively venture to the coast where you can spot seals on Newburgh Seal Beach or admire the swells of North Sea lapping at the golden shores at Balmedie Beach while your beloved canine companion roams freely. Follow the coast to discover Aberdeen where you can tour The Gordon Highlanders Museum, the Aberdeen Science Centre or enjoy a day of family fun at Codona’s amusement park or Jump In adventure park. Make unforgettable memories at Woodend Croft.

Pitmedden is a little village in Aberdeenshire's Udny parish, and it's an excellent place to start exploring the region because of its proximity to the countryside and the fact that it's just about seven miles from the shore at Newburgh. In addition to a café, small store, tavern, and takeout spot, the village also has everything else you need for a self-catered stay. The Pitmedden Garden, maintained by the National Trust for Scotland, is the town's most famous landmark. It features five miles of perfect boxwood hedges planted in creative patterns, as well as 80 different species of apple trees and stunning fountains. While just twenty miles away you can visit the enchanted castle of Fyvie Castle, another National Trust for Scotland site, where you can have a tour of the sumptuous rooms and hear of the folklore and even ghost stories that continue on today at the Museum of Farming Life. Nearby, in the old village of Tarves, which was probably established about the year 600 AD, you'll find a typical butcher shop where you can stock up on fresh, regional meats for your self-catered meals. The Newburgh Seal Beach and the Foveran Links Nature Reserve and Golf Course are worth the trip outside of town. Take a great holiday to the picturesque Pitmedden.
