A wee flurry of spring snow
Late in the day....but it's a white Christmas in Dufftown 😁😁
We get the best visitors here at Hillside Havens. Of course, some are a little cuter than others 😁😍
It’s a bit blustery and wet today, so here’s one from last week of a little bumble bee taking advantage of the sun to get some heather harvesting done.
If you’ve been a busy bee, why not treat yourself to a relaxing break in one of our hot tub pods? 😊

Keeping the fires going to get the water nice and warm for our guests arrival. 🔥😊

What a stunning rainbow tonight, I just love how vivid the colours are against the dark clouds, and how the sun reflects off the hail stones as they fall. Can you hear the hail stones bouncing around me?! 🥶🌈

This wee guy is heading home after a night on the town! 😂

A lovely roaring fire is a treat for us at the weekends when we settle in with our kids and dogs and watch a movie with snacks. So cosy! 🥰
Derek has plenty of practice all week getting the fires going in our wood fired hot tubs, so this blaze is a doddle! 😄

I love the way the hot water ripples into the hot tub. It's so relaxing to watch, but even better to immerse yourself in during these cold wintry days! An added benefit of the wood fired hot tub is no noise pollution from jets or heating elements, so you can just lie back, relax and enjoy the sound of silence!

Firing up the hot tubs in time for our guest to arrive! We have all of our hot tubs up to temperature in time for our guests to arrive, and we provide all that you need to keep them warm throughout your stay - including training! 😊🔥
I just love watching the house martins as they swoop around our house. They have now left for the winter, which makes me quite sad, but I won't miss all the bird poop on the car!...
Plenty of room inside our glamping pods for couples or families with kids and dogs. Each pod is kitted out with everything that you might need for a self catering break. Including toasting forks for the fire pit - you just need to pack marshmallows! 😁
I feel so lucky to be surrounded by so much amazing wildlife. I'm pretty sure this is a Kestrel soaring above, but correct me if I'm wrong! 😁
Look what I met on my way to Huntly today! 😍🐑

Counting down the seconds
After todays announcement by our First Minister, we will regretfully be canceling all reservations in the coming 3 weeks. We will be in touch to arrange refunds or date changes.
We miss our guests, but boy are we glad we don’t have to clear this! 🥶

In the end even Derek had to turn back, it was pretty deep and very hard work! 😅
