The grounds surrounding the cottage are perfect for outdoor dining, picnics by the river, or family games, while the nearby North Deeside provides convenient shopping options for self-catering needs.

The Boat House serves as an excellent base for exploring the rich offerings of Aberdeenshire, from the cultural experiences in Aberdeen, including the Aberdeen Art Gallery and Maritime Museum, to natural attractions like Newburgh Seal Beach and Stonehaven's picturesque harbour. For those seeking outdoor adventures, the region offers skiing at Lecht Ski Centre in winter, and year-round hiking opportunities at Munrow Baggers and Loch Muick. Guests can also enjoy charming local towns like Banchory, featuring delightful cafés and the stunning Crathes Castle. With its blend of comfort, convenience, and scenic beauty, the Boat House is a perfect retreat for families and groups looking to create lasting memories together.
