Perched above the River Don and boasting sweeping views of Aberdeenshire, this Grade B manor house is brimming with wow-factor. It was built in 1811 by the famed architect John Smith, and inside, you'll find a treasure trove of traditional Georgian touches – effortlessly paired with 21st-century luxuries, of course. Settle down with a scotch in front of the open fires, enjoy a game in the billiards room, or find your zen in the yoga studio. Outside, 65 acres of private estate include grassy lawns, ancient woodland, and resident Highland cows and ponies – all just twenty-five minutes by train from Aberdeen. Want something truly unforgettable? Speak to your host to arrange mini Highland games, whisky tastings, distillery tours, and other special extras.

Home truths

    The two main suites aren’t photographed. We’re awaiting new photographs of these rooms, but expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.

    There’s a sunken trampoline and a kid’s play area in the garden, as well as a full outdoor kitchen with a pizza oven.

    The yoga studio is a flexible space that can be used for events.

    We highly recommend hiring a car in this location. You can also reach the city of Aberdeen by train – it's twenty-five minutes from Inverurie.

    Your host can provide three cots if you're travelling with little ones.
