A stylish cabin with an enormous picture window and an al fresco copper bathtub, perfectly positioned amongst nature on the sweeping North East coast of Scotland.
  • Sleeps: 2
  • Bedroom: 1
  • Bathroom: 1
  • Minimum stay: 1 night

Beautifully located just outside the quaint Aberdeenshire harbour town of Macduff, Rustic Hollow is surrounded by Scottish nature at its most beautiful.

Fans of romantic getaways themselves, friendly owners Holly and Stuart had a dream of creating the ideal couples’ retreat. They started by choosing a favourite spot at the end of their private field – which not only catches the sun all day long, but is a haven for the local rabbits, deer, and pheasants.

Then, Holly and Stuart worked closely with an expert team of cabin-makers to create Rustic Hollow, a modern-yet-simple retreat that’s not only beautifully furnished, but showcases the surrounding rural landscape and huge skies to perfection.

Chilly nights won’t be a problem, as there’s underfloor heating and a gorgeous wood-burning stove to keep you toasty, though balmy summer evenings may be better spent with a soak in the al fresco copper bathtub, instead! Just add a glass of bubbles, and watch the sun setting right in front of you.  

(Why not follow your soak with a round of toasted marshmallows around the sunken firepit, under a twinkling canopy of stars?)

Meanwhile, there’s an ample kitchen, complete with an electric hob, and all the cutlery and utensils you could possibly need to enjoy romantic suppers. You’ll have a dreamy walk-in shower, too, along with a stack of fluffy towels.

And when it’s finally time to turn in, you can snuggle up in the downy kingsize bed… positioned right by a huge picture window that guarantees the very best morning views!
