West Gallaton Farmhouse
Self-Catered Holidays
Our beautiful farmhouse is located just over two miles south of Stonehaven, on the east coast of Scotland. In a peaceful, rural location, yet with easy access to the town, you can enjoy stunning views over open rural landscape, all the way to the sea. We offer self-catered holiday lets throughout the year.
The house comfortably accommodates up to five adults in three bedrooms.
Outside, the farmhouse has a large (60sqm), fully-enclosed terrace with garden furniture. There is enough parking space for several cars.
On the ground floor there is a spacious, fully-equipped dining kitchen, cosy lounge with wood-burning stove, bathroom and small single (internal) bedroom. Upstairs there are two large bedrooms, one double and one twin.
Most rooms have sea views.
Pets are very welcome.

The house has oil-fired central heating and the lounge has a wood-burning stove.
Since June 2023, we have full-fibre broadband, with excellent internet connectivity.

In the summer months, the Stonehaven Land Train runs from the Market Square, via the harbour, to the castle.
Stonehaven is full of great places to eat, from beachfront cafes to harbour hotels and the Tolbooth, an award winning seafood restaurant located in one of Stonehaven's oldest buildings, overlooking the harbour.
Just along the road from the Farmhouse, riding lessons and hacks can be arranged at Halymyres riding stables. Stonehaven Golf course overlooks the bay. For cyclists, there are many safe quiet roads in this area, as well as forests for downhill biking. Dunnottar woods are at the end of the road - a very popular place for walking, with or without dogs.
The clifftop village of Catterline, with its spectacular sea views, is worth a trip. Watch the seals in the bay and enjoy lunch at the Creel Inn.
