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. On the ground floor there is a spacious, fully-equipped dining kitchen, a cosy lounge with wood-burning stove, a bathroom, and a small single (internal) bedroom. Upstairs there are two large bedrooms, one with a king-size bed and and one with two single beds. Outside, the farmhouse has a large (60sqm), fully-enclosed terrace with garden furniture. There is enough parking space for several cars.
Most rooms have sea views. Pets are very welcome.
