Nestled on the Dorback Estate in Nethybridge, Ellon Cottage is a warm and inviting two-bedroom hideaway, thoughtfully renovated to preserve its traditional charm. With pine flooring throughout the ground floor and tasteful décor blending the old and new, this compact cottage offers a truly unique and relaxing escape.

On entering the cottage, you'll find a welcoming boot room with underfloor heating, perfect for drying off after outdoor adventures.

The sitting room exudes a cosy feel with its wood-burning stove and plush seating, an ideal space to unwind after a day of exploring. Set in a small alcove within the living room, the dining table provides a delightful space to eat, chat, and unwind in the glow of the wood burner.

Cozy cottage in the Cairngorms

on Saturday, 27 Jun 2026

This little stone cottage was an absolute gem. Tucked at the end of a wooded lane, it felt wonderfully secluded yet was easy to find, and that drive in, with the trees giving way to the cottage surrounded by rolling pastures, set the tone for the whole stay. The setting is absolutely lovely with the Cairngorm mountains rising in the distance. Inside, the cottage was every bit as charming and well-appointed as described. Nothing was overstated, and it was spotlessly clean throughout. The kitchen was a real highlight: well-stocked with everything we needed to cook proper dinner after a day out exploring, which made the whole trip feel more like a home away from home. Honestly, our few nights wasn't enough! We'd return in a heartbeat and recommend this cottage without hesitation to anyone wanting a peaceful, authentic Highland escape.

A lovely spot

on Saturday, 27 Jun 2026

We spent a week in Ellon Cottage. The location was perfect for us. We enjoyed the ability to walk straight from the door and our dogs loved their stay. We saw lots of wildlife both in and from the garden as well as whilst on walks on the Estate. The house itself was very welcoming and the sofas in the lounge were comfortable. The decor in the kitchen could do with a bit of TLC, particularly the paintwork above the worktops. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely consider returning.

Response from owner

We're also pleased that you found the cottage welcoming and the lounge comfortable – it's always great to know our guests feel at home. Thank you for your constructive feedback regarding the kitchen paintwork. We really appreciate you highlighting this, and we'll pass your comments on to the owner as part of the ongoing maintenance of the cottage. We're so pleased you enjoyed your stay overall, and we'd love to welcome you back to Ellon Cottage again in the future.

Beautiful Cottage

on Monday, 01 Jun 2026

If you like solitude this is a great choice. Very clean and comfortable. The bedrooms are tight due to ceiling height so be prepared to watch your head. As an older couple we did struggle with the TV as we couldnt get live TV, No instructions anywhere. We are app savvy but found it very frustrating , I think someone had messed about with it maybe should be checked after guests depart. Would I stay there again Yes
