Bed and Breakfast Description

 

Welcome to Greenbrae! People who use wheelchairs can access all visitors' rooms, and the garden.

In 2004 and 2005 we received a Highly Commended Certificate in the Visitor Experience category of the tourist board Northern Lights Awards. This award is judged on the basis of information provided by visitors to the tourist board. We were the first business in Scotland to qualify in the Ancestral Tourist Welcome scheme.

Our spacious and comfortable double/twin bedrooms are en-suite with a bath and a shower. Each room has tea and coffee making facilities. Fruit and herbal teas and decaffeinated coffee are also available. Each room has a hairdryer, shoe cleaner tissues and other bits and pieces you may find useful. A television and video or DVD player can be provided. Access to Wi-Fi internet is available. Two of our three bedrooms have access to the courtyard garden through patio doors. Visitors are welcome to enjoy the rest of our half an acre of garden.

Visitors have the use of the sunroom which has Sky television and a DVD player as well as views over the front garden with its bird feeding station, and beyond to the rolling farmland.

Our library is at your disposal that contains a wide selection of books, maps, local information and a reference section to help you identify the wildlife you will encounter. It is a place to enjoy a quiet read, write letters or play chess. However you are warned that you may be distracted by the view through the patio door to the courtyard garden and it's bird-feeding station, and our resident ducks!

Greenbrae welcomes cyclists and walkers as we have laundry, drying and ironing facilities available. We also have lockable storage for bikes. There is ample off road parking for all of our guests.

 

Peterhead Attractions

 
Greenbrae Farmhouse is an ideal base for exploring the Castle Trail. There are many other castle ruins in the area. Don't miss Slains Castle, on the cliff edge at Cruden Bay with its Dracula connections, or the atmospheric ruins of Ravenscraig castle that once belonged to the Kieth Clan at nearby Inerugie.

There is a wealth of wildlife to be discovered in Aberdeenshire. Greenbrae Farmhouse is just 12 miles from the RSPB reserve The Loch of Strathbeg. Up to 80,000 pinkfooted geese winter at Strathbeg and most days they can be seen and heard flying over Greenbrae at dawn and dusk. In the summer the terns breeding just outside the visitors center is well worth seeing. The reserve is an important site for other birds as well.

To the South of Greenbrae Farmhouse are the Sands of Forvie National Nature Reserve. The reserve has the largest breeding colony of Eider Duck in the UK. It is a regular fishing place for Osprey during the summer. In the winter the reserve has impressive numbers of waders and the mouth of the River Ythan is a good place to find both Grey and Common seals. By far the best places for seals are Peterhead and Fraserburgh harbours. Bottlenose Dolphin (best seen at the entrance to Aberdeen harbour), minke whales, harbour porpoises, Common and Risso's dolphin are also seen regularly.

In Macduff there is an excellent marine aquarium.

There is lots more to see and do in this corner of Scotland. Golf at Longside, Peterhead and of course Cruden Bay. Fishing at sea, in the river Ugie and in stocked fisheries. Walking and all kinds of activities at the Lochter and Kingscliffe centres.

There are also lots of events throughout the year to suit everyone. Music ranges from the monthly folk night at the Crichie Inn at Stuartfield to the Doric Festival celebrating the unique language, music and traditions of the NE of Scotland and the Wizard Festival rock weekend at New Deer.
