“Buzzing about Beehive 🐝”
We just returned from a super holiday at Beehive Cottage a couple of weeks ago - it was a family holiday with one tween and a teenager. It is a very relaxing spot with a high standard of comfortable accommodation. The cottage is tastefully decorated in a minimalist style and was well equipped for our stay. The surrounding roads are very quiet so it was possible to go out for an evening stroll and take in the picturesque surrounding area. There is also a swing set, a pleasant lawned area and a patio bench just outside the cottage. The cottage is around 20 mins from Aberdeen which was a good option for rainy day activities. We only ended up here once despite a rather dismal weather forecast - as they say in Scotland it was dry between the showers and we were happy to enjoy visits to the local beaches and attractions with jackets at the ready as needed. Balmeadie beach is 15 mins away and is a lovely long white sandy beach and country park - we even saw a pod of dolphins as we walked along it. Also saw seals and seabirds from Newburgh beach which is only a couple of miles from the cottage. Balmoral is a 1.5 hr drive (worth the trip) and we also enjoyed days out at Pitmedden Gardens (stunning) and Haddo House and Gardens (both National Trust properties - the usual tearooms, walks, picnic areas type of day). Also took a trip to Inverurie to climb one of the local mountain peaks. There is a big supermarket about 10 mins drive from the cottage and some good restaurants nearby too. We had a great meal in the Cornkist in Ellon and enjoyed fish and chips by the river nearby on the last night of our holiday. The owners were super helpful, responsive and made our trip very easy to plan. Would definitely recommend Beehive Cottage for anyone needing to get away from it all.
