We had a great holiday with family... had the Byre and the Stables. The cottages spacious and well equipped. Margaret and Ken are fabulous hosts. The hot tubs are brilliant. The location is stunning, the animals busy grazing. The dogs are friendly... just be careful of the cat 😉. Great golf courses nearby (Lumphanan is hilly but great fun). Cow Shed in Banchory did lovely food, but the cottage kitchens are well equipped and we created wonderful meals most nights. We had a wonderful time. Hope to get back one day. Thanks

There's a teapot! There's a Hot Tub! There's a TV, there's wifi! You're in the middle of a farm populated by Angus cattle and Texel Sheep, some lovely labradors and a psychotic (cuddly actually) cat. Comfy beds, hot showers, well-equipped kitchen, but most crucially... if there is anything missing Ken or Margaret will sort it out promptly. Lastly, we were superbly looked after by Kenny at the activities centre.

Another amazing weekend at Cairnton Farm this time with family. The kids absolutely loved watching the lambs and calves bouncing around the fields. The Byre was a great house plenty of space for the 6 of us and the dog. Something for all the family in the area. This time it was Gin making for the adults and lots of play parks in neighbouring villages for the kids. We will be back again.

Absolutely excellent place to stay with stunning views. Owners cannot do enough for you and very friendly even the two dogs. Activity centre just down the road owned by same people and can highly recommend it also as a good day out.

Spent three nights here with my wife and dog and had a lovely time. Nice tranquil and peaceful location to relax with stunning views over the valley and a beautiful night sky. The farm shop produced some of the tastiest steaks we have tried, it was a pleasure to enjoy them on the private patio with the BBQ and hot tub. The owners and their dogs were very accommodating to our needs. The Bothy itself is a very comfortable house to stay in with a wood burning stove I probably over-used. A full glass panoramic wall offers an amazing view over the valley and one particularly large bull. The local countryside offers some great drives and walks with waterfalls and woodland trails to observe. Loads of local produce in the area and villages to explore. We wish we'd had more time to spend here. Dan, Sam and Atlas.…

I have recently spent a wonderful week with my family in the stables at Cairnton farm cottages. It was extremely relaxing and such a friendly experience. I was with my two daughter and their family and also my granddaughter and her partner and three children who stayed in the byre cottage. We all had an amazing time. There is plenty of space in the cottages,also a wonderful hot tub and barbecue which we made use of. The location is fantastic, so far removed from traffic and the only noise to hear are farm noises(it is a working farm) we visited castles 🏰 Aberdeen theme park,we walked through woodland and went to an agricultural show. We would definitely stay there again, just wish it was a little bit nearer.

Just back from a stay in The Stables with family (4 adults, 1 child and a dog) and throughly enjoyed our short break. The location and cottage were perfect for our family. The under floor heating, log burner and of course the hot tub were a welcome addition after a day sledging after being snowed in unexpectantly! Our wee dog especially loved our daily visits from Boo and Skye too. Such gentle dogs. We loved the location of these cottages, set up in the hills with lovely views. Enjoyed having a wee walk down to see the cows on the farm too. Highly recommend these cottages for a quiet break.

Myself and 10 friends spent the past weekend at Cairnton Farm cottages for a Hen weekend and had an amazing time. The views are absolutely stunning and the owners are so helpful and accomodating. We also loved our daily visits from Skye and Boo. Skye visited us so much over the weekend that she became an honorary hen!!! We visited the nearby Activity Park for rifle shooting and quad bikes which was great fun followed by a lunch at the activity park. The food was beautiful and the portion sizes were fantastic. I would also highly recommend doing a mini gin tour of the nearby Lost Loch Spirits. All in all, everyone had a fantastic time and I cannot wait to return here at Hogmanay with my family!

Just spent an amazing week at The Bothy. From the moment we walked in everything was wow. The view from the dinning room, the decked out hottub, the location, the cows and horses and everything. Argh, it was all just lovely!! Farmer Ken and his gorgeous doggos in tow made sure we were utterly and completely happy in our little cottage. Thanks everyone at Cairnton farm!!! And strong recommendations to grab a steak roll from their activity park! Delish!!
