Customer Reviews of Ochil Cottage, nr Aboyne - Sleeps 4
1st comment: The cottage is very comfortable and very good value for money. It’s location in the village is convenient for two small shops and pubs. There are a number of local waymarked walks of varying lengths and degrees of fitness required . These are signposted from the square which is only yards from the cottage. (Leaflet in the cottage with full descriptions of walks). It’s a beautiful area with plenty to do and see. Bigger shops only 5 miles down the road in Aboyne for supplies. Highly recommended. Oct 2011.

4th comment: We received a warm welcome at Ochill Cottage from its friendly owners. The location was excellent with lots of great walks for dogs and humans nearby, and superb scenery. The cottage itself was comfortable and well equipped. A special treat was the Tuesday night live music (fiddles and guitars) in the nearby Aberdeen Arms, great for music lovers! We also had a great day at Go Ape at Crathes Castle, Banchory and enjoyed the Highland Games in nearby Aboyne. July 2011.
5th comment: Great location for exploring the mountains and the coast. Excellent walking from the cottage. The cottage itself was very well equipped....everything we needed to make it home from home. Lovely and easy to use log burners. Small garden with table and chairs for the good weather! Comfortable beds. 2 minutes from pubs producing excellent meals and real ales. Helpful owners should you need anything. Welcome pack on arrival. June 2011.
