The Hayloft (UK7200) - sleeps 4
The Hayloft in Banchory, Aberdeenshire sleeps 4 people in 2 bedrooms. The Hayloft in Banchory a delightful cottage was once indeed a hay loft and was totally redesigned in 2012. The central feature of this exceptional small house is a picture-book living room window which looks directly south over exceptional fields, forest and sky; through which hay used to pass to feed the cattle that lived a few metres away. This is a particularly clever piece of architecture; on the ground floor there is a double bedroom with its own private bathroom. Upstairs there is a spectacular and long series of rooms including a large living/dining room (with that window) as well as a landing, kitchen and large double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. Outside there is ample space for wellies and bikes, all undercover and watched over by pillars painted in the trademark pink of the estate. As a guest at The Hayloft you also have full access to The Glen Dye Arms, a BYOB pub complete with roaring log fire, ancient bar and record player, as well as use of the amazing wood-fired sauna nearby.
