East Wing is a luxurious self contained ground floor wing of a Victorian country house. The property is situated in a tranquil and very attractive garden setting, in a quiet rural location, yet it is a convenient base for visiting the North East and Royal Deeside, being located 25 miles from Aberdeen and 40 miles from Dundee.
East Wing is refurbished in a style in keeping with its period, yet manages to combine victorian charm with modern day convenience and luxury finishes. The property has been graded as 5* by the standards of the Visit Britain scheme, whilst at the same time being comfortable and feeling like a home from home. All the main rooms overlook the lovely gardens which offer loads of room for children to play in, or provide a relaxing place to walk or just sit and enjoy the view.
This is a non-smoking property, and I am sorry but we cannot accept dogs.
A second 2 bedroom property is also available at SH17513.
A perfect property for anyone looking for a quiet and relaxing break away from the hustle and bustle, but equally a good base for exploring North East Scotland, with its castles, whisky distilleries and lovely nearby coastline, to name but a few of its attractions.
