At Anniston Farm, we are proud to offer a selection of beautiful self-catering holiday cottages in the picturesque countryside of Aberdeenshire. Our cottages are converted from an old steading, located on a working farm, and provide the perfect getaway for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. With wifi available (albeit at rural speeds) and both guide and helper dogs welcome, we strive to make your stay as comfortable as possible.
Our cottages have been awarded 5 Stars by Visit Scotland, with the exception of one which has been given a 4 Star rating. We are also proud of our green credentials and aim to provide sustainable accommodation. We generate 7.5 MW of electricity with our own wind power and collect rainwater for multi-purpose use.
