Strange looking visitor in the yard this morning?

The British Driving Society are having their Annual Evening Carriage Drive around the Estate and Country Park tonight starting at 6pm. Please be aware that as well as being in the Country Park they will also be on Estate Roads and a small section of the Main Drive. Thank you in advance for your patience.

Please note that there will be a one way system in operation again for the Easter Egg Hunt on SUNDAY using the Main Drive only.This means there will be no vehicle access via any of the private Estate Drives from 9.30am - 5pm - they will be blocked & closed. Thank you.

With Spring on its way (honest!) how about a change of scene? Number 2 The Old Laundry is available for immediate entry, newly decorated and finished to a high standard - how about sitting with a coffee and admiring the view over the River Ythan?

Available for immediate entry. Number 2 The Old Laundry. Our only 'upside down' house, living room on first floor to take full advantage of uninterrupted view across the Ythan. Please call 01651 851664 to arrange a viewing.
