Garden House, Udny Castle

Udny Garden House

This attractive former gardener's cottage has been converted to make a cosy family holiday home. It stands in the grounds of historic Udny Castle, adjacent to its walled garden. The garden is still kept and is full of fruit and vegetables which may be available to guests.

Thanks to its very convenient location, the Garden House is ideal for business visitors to Aberdeen as well as for family members wanting to celebrate anniversaries, graduations, weddings, etc in some comfort. (Grand parents can find young families more wearing than they remember them!)
