This traditional cottage has been beautifully restored to a very high standard; bright & stylishly furnished with an open plan kitchen/living area with underfloor heating. The open plan area comprises a well equipped kitchen with integrated appliances, comfortable dining and additional seating in the glass extension to catch the morning sun with a coffee from the Nespresso machine. The living area has comfortable seating, a flat screen TV and a well-stocked wood burning stove.
The bedrooms are both ensuite; the master having a roll top bath in the bathroom. A door from the twin room leads onto a patio with a cafe style table & chairs perfect for morning coffee. A separate outhouse is provided as a perfect wet kit boot room. There is a stainless steel sink, washing machine, tumble drier and overhead pulley for drying clothes.
In addition to two laid lawn areas to the front of the cottage there are two separate decking areas for al fresco dining and BBQs. Deck chairs are also provided to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
At Dupplin Estate safety is our number one priority. We are taking all the steps possible to ensure your safety when you stay with us. Properties are left vacant for 72hrs between stays and we have invested in a fogging machine to safely disinfect the property in addition to our new Covid-19 cleaning protocols.
We are a member of the Scottish Association of Self Caterers who have been instrumental in producing the new strict 2-stage (Clean & Disinfect) cleaning protocols which we have adopted. During the height of the pandemic, we offered free Medical stays to support doctors and nurses who needed an emergency base. We had to abide by incredibly strict cleaning protocols and as a result we feel confident that we can provide you with a safe environment for you to relax in.
All of our cleaning and admin staff have undertaken the Landlord’s Little Helper Covid-19 Holiday Let Cleaning course. This together with our own COVID-19 cleaning checklists and risk assessments allow us to reassure you that safety is the number one priority for anyone staying at Dupplin Estate. We take this responsibility seriously both for you and also for our staff and community.
We have invested in additional PPE, hand sanitiser, disinfectants specifically for COVID-19 and a fogging machine for use between stays to ensure the property is fully disinfected. This uses a food safe chemical and poses no risk but allows us to ensure we can guarantee a thorough disinfection of the property.
We will continue to keep a close eye on government guidelines and changes to cleaning protocols as more research is done into Covid-19.
Some of the lovely soft furnishings which add to the atmosphere in our cottages have sadly had to be removed (until we have a vaccine) so please forgive us if it is not as ‘pretty’ as it looks in some of the photographs. We have some books in the property, but the pages have not been cleaned on every stay (our 72hr vacancy between stays should deal with this). The guest information folder is cleaned between stays. There is disinfectant and hand sanitiser under the sink if you need it at any stage during your stay.
We usually provide canisters of coffee, tea and sugar. We have now switched to sachets which are not reused for the next guest if you don’t use them.
As part of our commitment to the environment we used to use refillable products from Scottish Fine Soaps in the bathrooms. We have replaced these with smaller single use bottles (any not used are not recycled to the next guests).
