About this property

A Charming Period Family Cottage On The Edge Of The Cairngorms National Park

A comfortable, cosy and archetypal Scottish cottage steeped in history with a large, well maintained private garden, veranda and southerly panoramic view over the Earl of Airlie's estate to the hills beyond; the cottage has 2 bedrooms sleeping 4 people - 1 large twin room and 1 double room; 1 bathroom with separate shower, new kitchen/morning room with log burner and TV, sitting room with open fire and TV, and porch for storage. IT IS SITUATED IN THE HAMLET OF DYKEHEAD, A FEW METRES FROM BEAUTIFUL GLENS CLOVA AND PROSEN, ON THE EDGE OF THE CAIRNGORMS NATIONAL PARK. EQUIDISTANT BETWEEN BALMORAL CASTLE AND THE SCOTTISH CAPITAL EDINBURGH, THE COTTAGE IS ABOUT ONE AND A HALF HOUR'S DRIVE - both well worth a visit! Whatever time of year, there is something to appeal to everyone - Enjoy Burn's night suppers in January, celebrate Valentine's day at The Gin Bothy in Glamis with afternoon tea and gin prosecco, take a snowdrop tour at Scone Palace or Cambo Estate, visit the V & A museum at Dundee, enjoy outdoor theatre at Glamis Castle, the annual Scottish game fair at Scone Palace, local highland games, Edinburgh Festival and Tattoo, outdoor cinema at Scone, wild swimming and picnics in the local rivers, the annual vintage farming rally, halloween and the annual antiques fair at Scone Palace, St Andrew's day celebrations, Christmas concerts, theatre in Perth or Dundee and local farmers' markets. This welcoming cottage, surrounded by breathtaking countryside, is the perfect spot for keen walkers, golfers, cyclists, fishers and those looking to unwind at the end of the day with a glass of wine and a good book beside a roaring log fire! Rural, yet within touching distance of the coast and some of Scotland's great towns and cities - Winters Cottage is a little gem.

Winters cottage is an absolute dream. My family and I visited over christmas and it came out to be the best christmas we’ve ever had. The area is quiet, with nature trails and monuments not too far away, the cottage itself was clean, stocked with everything you need, and incredibly cozy. The owner kept up consistent communication with me for months before our stay and was nothing but kind, warm and welcoming. We will absolutely be visiting again, and couldn’t recommend this location more

We had the pleasure to stay at the idyllic Winters cottage over the New Year. Throughout our stay Fiona, the host was really communicative providing many suggestions and assistance if needed. We were blessed with glorious weather especially during winter and with some days of snow, the property and nature surrounding it really had a charm from sunrise to sunset. The accommodation was clean and spacious with all the amenities provided. As there is a wood and coal bunker it really helped with keeping the cottage warm with the open and fire, especially for the kitchen. You can feel the charm of it being a historical family home and throughout the stay it provided a period of pure relaxation, being the truest experience of a a getaway. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We all loved Winters Cottage - which has clearly been loved by the family for generations. You will love it too if you like wonderful views from a spaceous garden, peace, comfort and cosy log fires. This cottage exceeds expectations. Easy access to the cottage via a lock box, great communication with the owner, everything you would need in the kitchen, easy private parking, all on one level apart from three little steps up to the bedrooms, and even a surprise third single bed in the twin room (which is large enough to easily accommodate the three beds with plenty of space to spare)!

About the host

Hosted by Fiona Howard

Host profile image
The next generation has taken on the mantle of caring for Winters Cottage. Our grandparents moved from Scotland to Warwickshire in the 1930s. We three ‘Winter’ sisters live in South Warwickshire and manage the cottage as a holiday destination, project managing the maintenance and restoration with care. Black ranges, box beds in the kitchen and oil lamps have all gone. Babies are no longer born at the cottage – our children no longer walk across the field to the primary school by the river at Cortachy. But this bothy still holds a special place in our hearts. We have passed our love of the cottage to our children and the next generation – the 7th in line – are now enjoying the magic of this special place. History repeats itself. How wonderful to know that some things don’t change.

Why they chose this property

In the1850s James Winter moved to the cottage from his father’s farm in Glen Prosen where he raised 5 children with his wife Eliza. He opened a post office and drapers store to sell linen from his business in Laurencekirk in what is now the kitchen/morning room. We can just remember the mahogany shop counter, wooden floors and open fire in the 1950s. The shop closed in the late 50s but we still have mementos of times gone by, including hand made linen, Victorian furniture and books, a family bible and a clock given by Peter Pan author J M Barrie to his sister who married our ancester, William. The cottage was handed down the generations to our father Donald and on to our generation. We are proud caretakers for generations to come and we hope you love the cottage as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Really easy to reach yet set in glorious highland scenery. At Perth you’ll soon be there. See the Grampian mountains coming into view. By Kirriemuir look out for Peter Pan; that’s where he comes from and he’s never grown up!

Can you see the red squirrels or deer feeding by the castle? Through the woods, over the river and up to Dykehead. You’re there and only 15 minutes since you left a different world. Sit under the verandah with a cup of tea and gaze at the wonderful view. It’s great to be back. Riverside walks, cycling, fishing, golf and the glens on your doorstep. Visit historic houses and castles such as Glamis, birthplace of Queen Elizabeth 11s mother and Scone Palace, crowning place of the King of Scots. Ski at Glenshee, visit the Braemar Highland Games or Balmoral Castle, Scottish home of the Royal Family. Walk the coastal path and see the quaint villages of Crail or Pittenweem, take a picnic and swim at Lunan Bay 35 minutes away. Visit historic St Andrews and Perth or Dundee, home of Scott’s ship ‘Discovery’ and the visitor centre dedicated to his fated voyage to the Antarctic. THE DUNDEE V & A MUSEUM OPENED IN SEPTEMBER 2018. FUNDAMENTAL TO THE V & A IS ITS ROLE IN PROMOTING AND ENCOURAGING THE DEVELOPMENT AND UNDERSTANDING OF BRITISH DESIGN AND IN PARTICULAR, SCOTLAND. RICH HERITAGE, CHARACTERIZED BY CREATIVITY, CRAFT AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP EMERGE FROM THE SUPERLATIVE COLLECTIONS AND EXHIBITIONS.

THE CATERAN TRAIL - one of Scotland’s great trails, is a fully waymarked 64 mile route through Perthshire and the Angus glens. It follows old drove roads and ancient tracks. The Caterans were fearsome cattle thieves who raided the glens from the Middle Ages to the 17th century. (see a reference to the Battle of Saughs). Stage 4 of the 5 stages is nearest the cottage - Kirkton of Glenisla to Alyth. Take a diversion on your way back to the cottage to the Wee Bear cafe at Lintrathan or Peel Farm cafe near Lintrathan. Excellent home made cakes!
