Farmstay holiday rentals in Aberdeenshire

Wonderful as always, felt right at home. Love Rora.

Cottage was stunning and in such a good location for all the distilleries we were visiting. The place was spotless and had everything you’d need for your stay. Karen passed her contact number but to be honest she had a comprehensive information book with all the local activities. We travelled to visit the local distilleries and GlenAllachie is about a two minute walk from the cottage. We had lovely weather so sat outside on the garden furniture and only saw about two cars pass and a handful of tourists. It really was quiet and relaxing and I’d have no hesitation in recommending the cottage. I’ll certainly be booking again when I’m next up. It’s a wee gem!!!! Thanks Karen

Beautifully located house near Aberlour, about 40 minutes walk into the town for the nearest shops and pub so a car is recommended, although the walk is lovely. By car it's 10 minutes to Aberlour along a country lane. House was well equipped, modern, comfortable, clean and had great views of the surrounding farm and countryside. The farm shop was an added bonus with meat from the farm we enjoyed on a BBQ one evening. The host is extremely friendly and responded quickly in our conversations pre arrival. Perfect spot for a family or group of friends exploring Speyside. Thank you!

Megan and Sean’s place is beautiful—thoughtfully designed, well equipped, and tastefully decorated. It was perfect for our family of five (two adults and three children). Megan went above and beyond, even baking a cake and bringing fresh flowers from her garden to welcome us. The house is full of charming details and has been expertly renovated, blending the character of the old building with modern comforts. We especially appreciated the thoughtful extras for families—there were toys and board games that kept the kids happily entertained. There was also a wealth of local resources—books, maps, and guides—to help us explore the region. Firewood was provided for the fireplace, and the BBQ was ready to go with a full gas tank. It’s a wonderful place to relax—we’ll definitely be back.

Perfect place! We had a wonderful stay at Sheila’s cottage. It is beautiful, in a peaceful location with incredible views. The cottage was well appointed with everything we needed. Everything provided was great quality and the place was spotless. Comfy beds, great coffee machine and a lovely welcome gift. We are regular visitors to the area as we have family near by, we will absolutely be checking availability here first when planning our next trip.

Fabulous cottage of a high standard with excellent facilities and plentiful equipment for a quality family break. Beautiful surroundings, with lawns, open fields and woodlands in abundance on the doorstep. Nature lovers dream location. Log burner, comfy beds, large and well equipped kitchen. Large garage to the rear of the property contained bikes, ping pong table etc. Enjoyed watching Robbie the robot mower who developed a personality of its own. Easy access to Laurencekirk (10 min drive) and Stonehaven (20 mins - don’t forget the Carron Chippy for your battered Mars bar!). Good location for Caingorms for a full day trip. Thanks for a great stay. Very helpful and friendly owners who were excellent communicators and provided assurance at every stage of booking.

This cottage is one of a kind. What a beautiful and authentic Scottish home and surroundings. Yvonne was very responsive when we needed her. Incredible stay!

Lyn of Sheval Croft is a piece of heaven on Earth. It was incredibly charming inside and sitting in the dome in the evening watching the sunset was so peaceful. We loved watching the horses roam in the field behind the house. Jennifer was a great host giving us incredibly detailed instructions that made our stay seamless. She also provided fantastic recommendations for in home whiskey tasting by Steve and local in home meal delivery by Mac & Cat. We hope to make it back to Speyside and would absolutely stay here again!

Loved my stay at the Shepherds Hut. ✨ The check in was straightforward and Becky was so lovely and responsive with messages. The hut itself is beautiful with modern interiors and nice little details! The outside tub was also a favourite feature. Throughout the stay I loved how there was a balance between having privacy but also knowing that the host was nearby if I needed anything. Would absolutely recommend staying here 🥰

I had a lovely stay at this wonderful cottage. What struck me was how big and warm and cosy the rooms were. There was everything you needed for a holiday or work stay and more. It was particularly clean and tidy too. The bed was very comfy and the shower was super. I enjoyed the tables and work station in the kitchen to work on, as it was a work trip for me. There were lovely walks nearby to take doggy on and it was private and peaceful. We will certainly be back, thank you so much. Matilda and brown dog x

Lovely house in a great location. Even better in real life than the photos and description.

We stayed here for a week -4 adults and 5 dogs. We arrived to a lovely welcome pack which was informative with phone numbers and local amenities, plus it contained multiple treats - an unexpected but welcomed bonus! Beautiful property, very well presented and furnished. Very clean with lots of facilities such as towels, plates, pans, washer and drier etc. surrounding area is so peaceful with a beautiful mountain backdrop. The rear garden is secure and well maintained with plenty of seating and space to relax. The bedrooms are comfortable and spacious with ample storage. The showers are wonderful - hot and powerful. There is ample parking space straight outside the property. Helen was fab at communicating throughout, and checked everything was ok once we checked in. Thank you so much for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home. We would definitely stay again 😊

We liked it very much on Shirley’s Farm! Really nice place to stay, many animals, really nice view and Surrounding the house is located in. Our Daughter liked the sheep, cows and the dog very much and it was the perfect place to stay at and discover the nature around it. Thanks for hosting us, Shirley!

Marion's place was warm and comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped. And the extra touches of fresh eggs, cups cakes, milk and juice made us feel very welcome. We loved that we looked out on a fields and happened to be there when the grass was being cut and stored for silage.

First time using Airbnb and with Sharon it was flawless from start to finish. Very responsive on mails, had a book of all local olaces to visit, restraunts and fuel stations. The house was immaculate, fresh linnen and very comfy beds. 5 stars all round, looking forward to going back.

Fantastic property. We really enjoyed our stay. The property is very spacious with lovely views. It worked really well for our family. Thank you!

A beautiful cottage with stunning scenery, perfect for a relaxed chilled holiday. The cottage is modern, spacious and has everything you need, the hot tub is great for winding down while watching the family of deer in the next field. We would highly recommend a stay here if you are looking to get away from it all but still want to have amenities close by, Stonehaven is only a 15 minute drive away as is Dunnottar Castle, worth a visit!

lovely stay with fantastic views from the living room and great walks on the doorstep

The house was very well equipped had everything you need. Good location close to Banff and Portsoy. Great space for family/friends gathering.

Lovely cottage! Scenery is fantastic and the house has everything you need. Kids loved the chickens and especially loved the playroom.

This was a brilliant find, in close proximity to lots of different places. Beautiful and clean, and hosts were friendly, however didn’t need to communicate with them for anything extra as they had everything very well organised/easy to find. Hot tub was fantastic. Bed was super comfy! We would certainly return. Only things for us that would have made it better - more baking trays for cooking. The noise from the pub next door was annoying, with chefs out talking/or emptying glasses. Kept us up on both nights, but that isn’t the hosts fault at all

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.

Really lovely and well equipped little cottage in a beautiful area of the world. Very comfortable bed. The dogs loved the enclosed garden. Handy EV charger at the front. Caroline was very responsive. Highly recommended overall.

Lesley is an amazing host and made us feel at home. Her place is exactly as described and we found it very peaceful, right what was needed for a break away from the city noise. There was also an extensive collection of kids toys and books that kept our toddler entertained for hours on end.
