We had a wonderful week at Ferneyhowe last week. Warm and cosy, two log burners, plenty of room to get clothes dry. Usually there are essential things missing when you rent a holiday home - not here! Every home comfort has been thought of.

We enjoyed our week at Ferneyhowe Croft, one week was not enough time to explore, it was our second visit to Cairngorms and no doubt not our last. The Lonach Gathering was a joy, fishmonger & restaurant in Ballater excellent as was our return visit to a refurbished Kildrummy Inn. The house was warm welcoming and well equipped and the outside area gRead morereat for children and adults playtime! Our hosts were charming and available when needed but not intrusive. Hide
