Later, retire to the separate sitting room for where you can delve into a good book while watching the sun disappear through the French doors or alternatively step outside to indulge in a soothing soak in the bubbling hot tub and watch on as the stars fill the sky. There is also a desk in the sitting room ideal for remote workers.

Alternatively venture to the coast where you can spot seals on Newburgh Seal Beach or admire the swells of North Sea lapping at the golden shores at Balmedie Beach while your beloved canine companion roams freely. Follow the coast to discover Aberdeen where you can tour The Gordon Highlanders Museum, the Aberdeen Science Centre or enjoy a day of family fun at Codona’s amusement park or Jump In adventure park. Make unforgettable memories at Woodend Croft.
Pitmedden is a little village in Aberdeenshire's Udny parish, and it's an excellent place to start exploring the region because of its proximity to the countryside and the fact that it's just about seven miles from the shore at Newburgh. In addition to a café, small store, tavern, and takeout spot, the village also has everything else you need for a self-catered stay. The Pitmedden Garden, maintained by the National Trust for Scotland, is the town's most famous landmark. It features five miles of perfect boxwood hedges planted in creative patterns, as well as 80 different species of apple trees and stunning fountains. While just twenty miles away you can visit the enchanted castle of Fyvie Castle, another National Trust for Scotland site, where you can have a tour of the sumptuous rooms and hear of the folklore and even ghost stories that continue on today at the Museum of Farming Life. Nearby, in the old village of Tarves, which was probably established about the year 600 AD, you'll find a typical butcher shop where you can stock up on fresh, regional meats for your self-catered meals. The Newburgh Seal Beach and the Foveran Links Nature Reserve and Golf Course are worth the trip outside of town. Take a great holiday to the picturesque Pitmedden.

The house was very spacious. Brilliant showers. The decor was lovely. Loved the wood burner. The games room and the hot tub made sure we had plenty to do as weather wasnât the best.

It is the ideal place to get away with the family. Just enjoyed our second visit and on returning home booked our third. Comfort and attention to detail and the added little welcome touches add to the enjoyment. Everything about Woodend Croft is about quality and comfort and it truly is an excellent base to enjoy family time and explore what the area has to offer. Can't recommend it highly enough.
