"So happy we chose Garden Studio for our week holiday Aberdeenshire."
The accommodation was well equipped, beautifully furnished, cosy, clean and tidy. It was very relaxing to spend our afternoons sitting on the porch or in the hot tub and enjoy the views to the nearby hills of Bennachie and Dunnydeer. We found the location to be very convenient for visiting the local historical towns and attractions. Owners Sheila and Allen were very welcoming and included a basket of tasty treats in the kitchen on our arrival. We whole heartedly recommend Garden Studio!!!

The owners also gave us a basket full of goodies including some delicious home made toffee fudge (which also included the recipe which both me and my partner found absolutely amazing!). The hot tub was clean and warm with beautiful scenery to enjoy while relaxing. The place provided all the basic amenities including spices and toilet roll and towels, fluffy bathrobes and flip flops. The whole place also had an amazing floral scent when we first walked in and Sheila and her husband (the owners), took the time to welcome us and make us feel at home and told us how to use the hut tub and were available in case we needed anything across the duration of our stay. Overall an amazing experience!
