Vacation rentals in Gardenstown

I had a fantastic stay at this apartment. The photos don’t do it justice, it’s absolutely gorgeous! The high ceilings and well thought out décor give it a real sense of space and calm. Everything was spotless, the bed was super comfortable, and I felt right at home from the moment I arrived. Sean was a lovely host. He was responsive and helpful throughout my stay. I asked for recommendations for where to eat and he shared brilliant local recommendations of different types of cuisines as well as different price points, which made a big difference. You can tell they genuinely care about the experience guests have because a lot of care has gone into the renovation, and for a new listing, it’s already a top-tier place to stay. I’d absolutely book again next time I’m in Aberdeen.

Loved my stay - this property is in a perfect location with great views of the sea. Master bedroom is really comfortable and the house is cosy - loved the seat in front of the window with the view! Kitchen is well equipped. While you're there, I recommend walking through the closes of the village - Denside is a delight at this time of year! Also the effort to get up to St John's Kirkyard via the beach is very much worth it, as-is heading round to Crovie via the Sneuk path. I had a lovely time with the folks in the Heritage Centre - recommend popping in to see them. The nearest parking is in a small car park beyond the cottage at the end of the sea wall, or next to the bins before heading down the sea wall, (see restrictions notice) or at the harbour.

Great place to stay topped off with the sauna, private outdoor area! A welcome basket that had everything needed when I arrived later. Would definitely recommend and look forward to staying again

Had a fantastic stay at Paul’s cabin, high up on a hill overlooking the Glen, we could see dear grazing down below. Extremely peaceful the outside bath and fire set the scene. We had a whisky tour at Cardhu which wasn’t far away also highly recommended. 10/10 recommend this stay.

Super spot, spotlessly clean and a very cute building. We enjoyed our short stay in the Lodge. Ideal for any group except perhaps small children. Appreciated the log fire on a very driech weekend.

My group of friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Gardenstown over new years, in such a private and peaceful location. Alan provided many local recommendations and tips to keep us busy. The house had a great amount of space for all 10 of us to stay comfortably. The photos really don’t do the place justice with so many lovely features. It felt very cozy and home like, with plenty of fireplaces to warm us up and an abundance of bathrooms/ fridges/ living areas to ensure we were all accommodated . The kitchen is also very well stocked with dishes for everyone. Alan was a very friendly and responsive host, being there to introduce us to the house, happy to answer all questions and always available to help. He was also very kind in offering to post our lost items following our stay, and advised us of the best routes home with weather being heavy for our drive back. We recommend the beautiful walk to St John’s kirkyard and exploring the neighbouring seaside towns if you visit!

Peppermill Cottage is a real gem of a find. Whitehills and the surrounding local villages are absolutely gorgeous. Add to this miles upon miles of coastline and countryside right on the doorstep and you're in for a treat. The cottage itself is well equipped and was squeaky clean for our arrival. We loved the sunny ourdoor space for lazy mornings with a coffee before heading out. Alison was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Couldn't ask for more!

This is an outstanding place for kids and furry friends. Sue and Jim could not have been more helpful or welcoming - the cottage is pristine, cosy and with all you need no matter the weather. The grounds are stunning; affording you real privacy and lots to explore and do from climbing trees to den making, and all whilst surrounded by nature. You are only 10 mins from Inverurie which has plenty of shops to meet your needs. A trip to the Old Post Office for brilliant cakes, Castle Fraser and Kemnay are worth a visit as is the Pit Stop for a great fry up and the Gordon Highlanders museum is perfect for a raining day. Easily the most pet friendly place we have ever stayed.
