Situated within 43 km of Balmoral Castle and 16 km of Corgarff Castle in Tomintoul, Glenlivet by Wigwam Holidays provides accommodation with a kitchenette. This holiday home features free private parking and luggage storage space. The property offers barbecue facilities and outdoor furniture. I'm generally not a person that stays in small huts like this, but I was positively surprised by this one. It isn't the most spaceous, but it was great for the two days we stayed there, and if you're a more wilderness/camping kind of person, I definitely recommend it. The surroundings were lovely woods with some nice walking paths, that especially at night provided some great opportunities for star watching, and the hut itself has a nice little kitchen with everything you need (except maybe an oven, but if you do it right, you can definitely do without that), and a nice and clean shower, the beds were also very comfortable. Every hut also has a fire place outside, and the owners provide firewood upon request, if there is no fire ban at the moment, which can happen if it becomes too dry. I can definitely recommend this if you are looking fora little bit more adventurous stay!

Located in Nethy Bridge, less than 1 km from Abernethy Golf Club, Ptarmigan provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and barbecue facilities. It is set 7.7 km from Boat of Garten Golf Club and offers bicycle parking. The apartment features family rooms. Lovely apartment in a beautiful area, the hosts were very nice and even offered some breakfast items. You can do a nice walk through nature to the Nethy Bridge Hotel for dinner. But the best thing: a highland cow near the castle and the miniature donkeys you could watch from the porch :)
