A very comfortable cottage which was scrupulously clean.
A very comfortable cottage which was scrupulously clean. Everything you need is provided and a plentiful supply of logs was available for the fires. There is no WiFi but a good phone signal.

We had a great week. Children missed wifi but loved fields and walks around. Beds comfortable and cottage was equipped with all we needed. Garden was good and secure for children and dogs. We found lots to do out and about in the area. Sun room helped to warm the house and make the most of the views. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Prospecthill cottage is a lovely traditional cottage set in beautiful rural Aberdeenshire with stunning views to the local hills and beyond. If you like a very peaceful and remote place to experience a slower pace of life, this is a great place to relax and unwind ! Equally, there is an abundance of places to do walking and hill-walking, wild-swimming and visit castles. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
