schöne kleine Ferienwohnung

Die saubere und großzügig ausgestattete Wohnung ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für jede Art Ziel in der Nähe. Abderdeen und die Küstenstädte, der Whiskey Trail, Wanderungen im naheliegenden Nationalpark oder kleine Runden vor Ort. Das direkt vor Ort liegende Schloss war leider wegen Renovierungsarbeiten geschlossen. Wer völlige Abgeschiedenheit (kein WLAN, kein Handy-Empfang) sucht, ist hier genau richtig!
