Stranduff Lodge Croft - Kincardine O'Neil nr Aboyne, Aberdeenshire

Stranduff Lodge Croft is a delightful detached country cottage situated in an idyllic location, just outside the charming village of Kincardine O'Neil , in the heart of Royal Deeside. Built out of granite in the 19th century, Stranduff Lodge Croft was originally a working croft, since upgraded to provide superior and spacious accommodation for tourists and visitors, the croft is an excellent base for exploration, adventure or relaxation. With the addition of the superb views (see the peak of Lochnagar on a fine day) and the spacious garden grounds (over half an acre) with barbecue and garden furniture, a stay in Stranduff will be a stay to remember.

Furnished to a very high standard throughout, the original Stranduff Lodge Croft has a sitting room, dining kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms upstairs, one with double brass bed and one with twin beds.  The cottage has recently been extended in granite, to incorporate two original outhouses, leading off the vestibule there is a large lounge with magnificent views of the surrounding countryside, two additional bedrooms (1 double, 1 twin) and a shower room.  Visitors have the option of renting the original cottage only but for a small additional sum the recently added accommodation can be included (only a locked door in the vestibule separates the accommodation).  The two 'halves' of the cottage cannot be rented separately, although two families could rent the whole cottage using one named family only.  The cottage also has garden grounds to the side and the rear, with an additional garden area across a farm road featuring lawn and bushes/shrubs. A delightful burn (stream) runs at the front of the garden. Rates inclusive of all linen and towels, fuel and electricity.

For the hill walker, the hills of Deeside start at the front door; for the skier, the cottage is conveniently placed for both The Lecht and Glenshee ski slopes; golf, hunting, shooting, fishing, pony-trekking, gliding and many more outdoor and water sports activities are all available locally. Swimming and Squash are available in Aboyne a mere four miles away. At the end of the day, relax in the garden or in front of the stove in the sitting room.
