We had a wonderful stay at Drumhead Cottage. I booked with my partner and his brother to attend his sister's wedding at Finzean Hall and the walk down to the Hall was a short and beautiful little stroll, exactly what we were hoping for.

The cottage was clean and comfortable, good wifi, kitchen equiped with all the utensils you could possibly need and lovely bathroom with good water pressure. We absolutely loved starting each morning with a coffee in the hot tub, looking out on the beautiful surroundings. No better way to start the day!

Donna is an excellent host, attentive and helpful while still giving us plenty of privacy. Would definitely recommend!

This was our second stay here! Once again it was an extremely enjoyable break. The comfort of the cottage immediately gives a feeling of relaxation and provides the perfect opportunity to get away from it all. The weather was very good and we took ourselves out each day to a different area and enjoyed some lovely walks. How delightful it was to return to the cottage late afternoon and enjoy the tranquillity of the setting and unwind in the hot tub. Donna, once again, was the perfect host. Before we left we had already booked our next stay! Highly recommended.

We always like to leave cottages even cleaner than when we arrive - impossible here as it was spotless when we checked in! Donna was a great host and very helpful. Despite being near a minor road and next to the owner's house it was private and quiet. Secure storage for our bikes was welcome as was the hot tub after our rides,

Donna was a great host and very helpful with local knowledge. Secure bike storage and fast wifi were welcome as was the hot tub after rides.

Although it is close to a minor road and next to the owner's house it was quiet, peaceful and private with stupendous views.

The cottage is fantastic! It was very clean and tidy. The hot tub was amazing. We were not able to stay as long as we wanted because there was a storm which lead to a power cut in the area for a few days. Donna was super helpful and helped us to problem solve as well as recommending other accommodations that is available near the area. She also gave us a lot of tips to travel around Banchory. We are so glad that we have the opportunity to stay in the cottage at the end. Otherwise we wouldn't know what we would have missed!
Highly recommended!!

Truly was an amazing stay at Drumhead... Great location, brilliant views, a very relaxing hot tub, good quality bbq, and fantastic spotless cottage.

Donna was really helpful and went the extra mile to find charging points nearby, she does really put her soul into this and the extremely clean, really really well-equipped cottage is proof of that.

We went as a couple and have to say the location was perfect with glorious scenic views (definitely take your best camera). You will be treated with lots of information about the nearby local spots to visit, there are tons of activities to choose from, from a trip to nearby castles to fishing, horse riding, beaches, and more. The cottage itself is amazing and you will likely want to stay a few days in the cottage and enjoy the very quiet, serene relaxing cottage and if the weather is good I highly recommend making good use of bbq and the tub - we were lucky enough to have decent weather and have to say the bbq was perfect, very easy to use.
Donna comes every morning to clean the hot tub, and you will feel that cleanliness reflects across the whole cottage.

Being an EV owner, there are charging spots nearby which was a definite plus for us. There is a tesla charger 6 miles away from the cottage for all those who are worried about charging. I had the old type 2 chargers so my supercharger was limited however if you are going on a trip to the nearby town likelihood you will find a supercharger especially if you have a CCS charger or a CCS adaptor - we didn't have this luxury but we still didn't really have any issues with charging...

To summarize I would highly recommend Drumhead cottage, as a couple or even as a group. You will not be disappointed in fact you will come out wanting to go back again.
