The perfect getaway, this stunning self-contained studio is the perfect sanctuary with one of the best views you will find on Royal Deeside in the Scottish Highlands yet totally retains its homely feel. Offering the luxury of a hot tub, romance of a wood burning fire, fully equipped kitchen, 50” tv, the peace and tranquillity second to none. Go through the patio doors to a huge area of decking where you can enjoy nature at its best, while turning the BBQ or pizza and enjoy your evening G+T. The views from this home are unblocked and unrivalled. Hay fields with regular visiting deer and pheasants lead to the River Dee and the hills beyond. The decking area is a superb entertaining space, and the garden has a fairy lit, pergola area to enjoy a fire and a drink in the evening. From the welcoming kitchen with its impressive dining table (up to 12) the villa opens up to an oak floored salon looking on to the fields and valley beyond. Go through the patio doors to a huge area of decking where you can enjoy nature at its best while soaking in the hot tub, cooking on the BBQ or in the pizza oven. Your bedroom, in the Glamping Studio, also enjoys this splendid panorama. I have hosted several 'month & more' guests since Covid, some quarantining then getting out in nature, others finished PHD research, one completed a novel, another a self-help book while teaching yoga classes on Zoom & working out in the stone circle! It has been a great new step for me & I've enjoyed the opportunity to get to know guests in a different way. Feel free to chat the possibility of longer stays. Once you make your booking, I will send you a PDF with more info including where to order food, local organic veg boxes, the fish man visits on a Thursday & what I can offer - I am not a bad cook given enough notice, whatever your plans, I'll help you work out how it can work for you. I'll also send you a video of how to find our place, which one is yours and how to get in etc. Here's a little more about the property as a whole-> Den of Allachlade has been home for me since October 1993. My daughter, Jessica, was born here and the house has morphed through several stages in parallel to my life. It has borne witness to family life, therapy, workshops, all sorts of weird and wonderful events and the transformation of many beautiful people. Someone once told me it was built on the site of an ancient temple: true or fantasy, it really has a special vibe to it and somehow manages to be home, therapy center and base for travelers, professional nomads, volunteers, holidaymakers, spiritual seekers... all in one go. A Scottish twist on a Laurel Canyon type commune, with a good helping of home style luxury. So, naturally the Den has grown organically with the shifting tides and times of life. The main house also has 3 additional self-contained units available separately if required for larger group bookings. The largest unit is the villa itself: Idyllic Deeside Villa with Panoramic View which you can enjoy with or without the three separate units and including exclusive use of the inflatable hot tub and main decking. I tend to have it showing available during holiday periods, however, please ask if you want it outside of that. The three year-round lets are- Glamping Cottage with Zen Garden, Balcony & Views The Annex Glamping Studio on the deck with panoramic view Over the winter period, the: Idyllic Deeside Apartment with Panoramic View is available. It is the villa divided into the home cottage, where I live, and the apartment, the massive open plan living, dining and kitchen area plus the Glamping Studio on the deck with panoramic view serving as bedroom (2 adults / 1 child) and bathroom (small wet room). When available you can add: Glamping Cottage with Zen Garden, Balcony & Views The Annex Booking the apartment includes exclusive use of the decking and the inflatable hot tub. Amongst the many human visitors, there is also a family of deer who can be seen grazing and frolicking just at the edge of garden. Then there’s the pheasant family: Charlie, the dad can be seen strutting his path daily and mum, Priscilla, is rather partial to a mud bath. As your host, I’d love to introduce you to these, my daily joys and so much more in this fabulous area where I am so grateful to live.
