Every one of these is somewhere we would book ourselves: steadings and a stone bothy on the Glen Dye estate under Clachnaben, estate cottages on Donside, a Victorian hunting lodge on the River Gairn next door to Balmoral and an old inn on the edge of the forest with its own sauna.

Inside Gamekeeper’s Cottage.
Gamekeeper's Cottage stands on the Glen Dye driveway looking over the River Dye, a handsome stone house behind a pale blue garden gate. It sleeps six in three bedrooms, with a big farmhouse table in the kitchen and a wood-burning stove in the sitting room, all done in soft blues, bright rugs and old paintings. There's a lawn for sitting out, a private wood-fired hot tub you can add when you book, and the estate's sauna to book as well. Dogs are welcome, and there are games for the children.
