With large windows along the frontage it is possible to enjoy the views in all weathers, floor to ceiling glass in the master bedroom and a bath with a view are just two of this houses unique features. It's bike friendly and also an ideal base for any outdoor pursuits, landscape photographers and artists and astro photography,a s well as for simply getting away from it all. Watch red kites, kestrels, partridges and hares from the dining area - many coming right to the doors.

Watch red kites, kestrels, partridges and hares from the dining area - many coming right to the doors. Listen out for the call of an owl at night, the evening bat and the heron that visits the pond. Good walks and cycles straight from the door. Ample garden area, and 10 acres of hillside including a pond to explore.More

We've taken loads of self catering holidays over the last 20 years and Glenhoul Brae is by far the nicest place we've ever stayed in.

This house is huge, beautifully designed and very special, and the setting is wow.
We spent half term at Glenhoul Brae. There were 8 people and we never felt crowded.
Morag (owner) was really easy to book and communicate with.
We will be back 10/10
