From your off-road parking space, take a moment to savour your peaceful surroundings before heading inside, via the porch, where you can store walking boots and rain coats. From here, discover a quaint snug area, where you can comfort those post-walk soles before finding the sitting room, with a striking woodburning stove takes centre stage. The kitchen suite is complete with everything the chef of the group could possibly need to cater family-favourite dishes, with a dishwasher for keeping the space clutter free and a washing machine for convenience. Sociable moments can be spent within the light-filled dining room, boasting a spacious dining table, where the entire group can gather to tuck into meals, pop open a bottle of fizz or while away fun-filled hours playing board games. Take the staircase to the first floor landing, which grants access to three exceptionally-appointed bedrooms, the master suite notable for its sumptuous king-size bed. The second bedroom boasts a plush double, whilst the final bedroom houses two single beds, allowing for a range of party types to enjoy this part of the country. The garden at Thistle Mill has been designed as an extension of the house itself, with a sunny seating area to bask in the sunshine, whilst admiring the soundtrack of the nearby stream. If you can tear yourself away from this oasis, head into the centre of Aberchirder, where you will find a number of shops and The New Inn to linger over a pint one evening. Alternatively, head for the coastline to visit the town of Banff, where you will find even more superb amenities, as well as the former royal Banff Castle, which boasts a distinctive yellow façade, a pre-Reformation market cross, a fine Biggar Fountain and a museum donated by Andrew Carnegie. Another local attraction is Duff House, a Georgian stately home, which houses a range of art work and large grounds, providing great parkland walks. Here, there is also two spectacular golf courses, Duff House Royal Golf Course and Royal Tarlair Golf Club, so that you can practice your swing, whilst beachcombers can venture to Sunnyside Beach, Hopeman East Beach and Findhorn Beach for some pristine sands and awe-inspiring views. Other attractions within the area to suit all ages and tastes, includes the Macduff Marine Aquarium, the Museum Of Scottish Lighthouses and the Speyside Cooperage Visitor Centre. With all of this and much more to enjoy, bring your loved ones to Thistle Mill Cottage to share a memorable holiday in Scotland.
