Ellon Cottage proved even better than the photographs showed. The cottage was spotless, and well equipped. It was a delight to stay here due to its cosiness and warmth.

Thank you for the lovely review! We’re so pleased you had a relaxing long weekend on the Dorback Estate. The remoteness of the cottage means you can spend a night under the stars relaxing in the hot tub and if you're really lucky you might even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights in all their mesmerising glory - plus it's a real haven for wildlife spotting. We hope to welcome you back one day!

Escape to the wild

We thoroughly enjoyed the remoteness of this property and how beautiful the setting was.

The living room and kitchen were perfect. We expected the bedroom to be small but we both struggled with the limited head height getting in & out bed.

Sadly the hot tub was out of use for our stay which was a key factor when booking the property and so we were disappointed to not have used this as the days were sunny and the view was great.

There are some small improvements that would take this property to the next level, pillows weren’t great, too thick and hard affecting your neck and the bathroom needs really modernising. That said, this is a stunning location if you like remote peaceful places.

Thank you for leaving us a review of your stay at Ellon Cottage, we apologise the hot tub was not available during your stay, unfortunately the tub had been damaged and the owners were waiting on parts before it could be repaired. We will share the rest of your feedback with the property owners. We are glad you enjoyed the peace & tranquility of the Dorback Estate.

Sweet cottage in an idyllic rural spot overlooking mountains. Very clean and enjoyed the hot tub. Great place to base selves for Sking. Plenty of wood to make a fire for a cosy night in.
