Stay

Your Space

Surrounded by sweeping estate grounds, the cottage offers three calm and comfortable double bedrooms, a spacious living area and an open-plan kitchen designed for slow, easy living. Light filters in through the trees, giving each space a quiet sense of retreat.

After a day roaming the hills, settle by the wood stove as the room fills with gentle warmth. With generous seating and a relaxed, lived-in comfort, the living room becomes a natural gathering place to unwind and share the moments that shaped the day.

Each bedroom has views across the woodland and surrounding grounds. The master includes its own en-suite shower room, while a thoughtfully-finished house bathroom, decorated with hand-printed wallpaper, offers a peaceful space to rest and restore after time outdoors.

Food for the soul

Sip coffee on the doorstep, soaking up the morning sun, or spend long evenings enjoying fresh, local produce prepared on the barbecue.

Filled with natural light, the kitchen is fully-equipped with everything you need for slow breakfasts or whipping up an evening feast. The wide table is perfect for laying out the morning papers, or a spot of remote working before heading out to discover the local area.

Following long days of adventures, our chefs can also deliver a beautiful prepared cottage supper – ready to warm and enjoy whenever you’re ready.

Unique experiences & activities

At Factors Cottage, the surrounding grounds become part of the stay. Guests can arrange a quiet woodland table experience, beginning with a gentle walk through the estate to gather seasonal herbs or flowers for the table. A simple, beautifully prepared meal is then served outdoors or in the cottage’s warm kitchen dining space, shaped by produce from Aldourie’s gardens and the rhythms of the landscape. It is a calm, thoughtful way to settle into the estate and savour its peaceful character.
