A fantastic week. Excellent directions and great communication with Elisabetta. North Lodge is larger than it looks from the outside. It was great to sit in the window seat enjoying breakfast and the view of the lovely garden. Good location for touring around, plenty to see and do in the local area. As there was just the two of us we didnt needRead more to venture upstairs, the downstairs bedroom has the most comfortable bed ever, with beautiful bedding and decor. The garden is fully enclosed, our adventurous German Shepherd did not find a way out, it was perfect and beautifully maintained. The gardener even stopped us for a chat as we were leaving to ensure everything had been ok. Turriff is a nice little town with good shopping. If you enjoy Malt have a look in Barrels and Botanicals, a great selection and owner is very knowledgeable. All in all a very good week, looking forward to our return in March 2027 Hide

We loved our one week stay at North Lodge. The cottage was warm, cosy, had all of the comforts that we needed. The views from every window were beautiful, making it an idyllic location. The cottage is very centrally located in Aberdeenshire. We spent our days exploring castles and ruins, and went on beautiful walks.

The Lodge is comfortable and quite quaint. The garden is large and fully enclosed which is good for those with a dog. It is ideally located on the edge of the castle estate with lots of walks around the grounds. There is a beautiful peaceful walled garden which is well worth a visit. Turriff is only 10 mins away by car and has plenty of local shopsRead more. Hide

The cottage is very comfortable and is very well equipped. It is situated in a quiet location, but is close enough to Turriff for shopping, restaurants etc. The enclosed garden was a bonus as we have a dog, there was also some nice place to walk closeby.
