• "We had a wonderful week at New-Stedi."

  Beautiful property, extremely well appointed (didn't have to keep washing mugs as so well stocked!),very comfy beds, great showers etc. We all loved the hot tub. Diane was one of the best hosts I've met - so warm, friendly and full of ideas of things to do if we asked. She responded to any queries very promptly. The only slight issue was a high vellux in one of the bedrooms that doesn't have a blind - didn't affect me as I was in another room but the sun streaming in woke the occupants early. Won't matter in autumn or winter. Otherwise a fantastic property in a beautiful area with a great host!! We would definitely go back there.

  Nef- Stedi had everything you could possibly need and Diane provided all those lovely little extras that made our stay even more memorable.

• "Cottage suited our needs completely."

  Was travelling with elderly mother so having a bedroom and full bathroom with walk in shower, on ground floor, was exactly what we needed. Upstairs equally well equiped. Lovely and warm, full kitchen, including freezer, we felt very much at home. Beautiful countryside but close to amenities and easy to find thanks to good instructions. Will definitely use again when in the area.

  Diane, the owner, was so relaxed and friendly. We were in Aberdeenshire to celebrate our daughter’s wedding close to Nef Stedi. On the morning of the wedding Diane brought a bottle of malt whisky to help steady nerves, such thoughtful gesture, she waved the bride, father of the bride and bridesmaids off which they found very touching.

• "Amazing! We arrived to a warm welcome from Diane who gave us a tour of the house and explained how things like the heating /hot tub etc work."

  There was a yummy plate of fresh cupcakes and a basket of essentials on the counter as well as milk & prosecco in the fridge! The cottage was spotlessly clean, modern and had everything you need to enjoy your stay. There was a games cupboard & a book cupboard both with a wide variety of games & books for all ages. The location is perfect. Remote enough to enjoy the night stars in all their brilliance but close enough to Inverurie for all your shopping needs. Lots of amazing places to visit. Check out Newburgh Beach to see the seal colony, Balmeddie Beach & dunes, Pitmedden Gardens, Haddo house, Tarlair outdoor swimming pool (derelict now but lovely all the same), Drum Castle, Crathes Castle and New Slaines castle. Many of these are part of the National Trust Scotland so it's worth purchasing a membership if you intend to visit more than a couple of their places. Ice cream lovers won't want to miss Barra Berries for the most amazing ice cream. It's less than 10 minutes drive from the cottage so you might want to visit more than once! The highlight for our boys (2 sons with special needs) was definitely the hot tub though! Our youngest was in 2 or 3 times a day. It was well maintained, freshly filled on the day we arrived and Diane checked it daily for chemical balance & cleanliness. It was the touch of luxury we needed after 6 pretty rough months. We can't wait to go back!!

  A friendly welcome followed by a quick tour of the house to explain a few things from owner Diane and we were left to enjoy ourselves. The accommodation is excellent with comfortable beds and lovely sparkling clean bathrooms with powerful showers and lots of quality towels provided. Pretty much everything we needed was in the kitchen and we enjoyed the experience of the super hot tub - accompanied by a glass of bubbly! A good selection of plastic glasses was provided to use safely around the pool; an example of the care and thought that has gone into equipping this property. Useful utility room with washer and tumble dryer. Lovely area, with plenty of places to visit. Castles, distilleries, beaches and wildlife hot-spots (seals at Newburgh beach and Spey bay for dolphins) all in around an hour's drive through the attractive countryside. Would definitely recommend Nef-Stedi as a base to explore Aberdeenshire and beyond. We had a very enjoyable stay.
