High Green Hall - a modernly converted church on a hill

High Green Hall is a converted church perched on the hillside in the picturesque fishing village of Gardenstown in Aberdeenshire.

This unique property has been fully renovated to offer a quirky, yet modern and comfortable holiday let. Its spacious design makes it the perfect property for staying, socialising and also quietly enjoying its natural surroundings.

High ceilings contribute to the light and spacious feel of the property, complemented by the modern extension with triple aspect and round picture windows, which allow views across the beautiful sweeping coast, perfect for watching passing dolphins and sunsets.

The large living room encompasses ample space to relax, with multiple sofas and TV. Sit by the wood burning stove and unwind in the winter months. The adjoining dining area seats 8 persons.

A large kitchen provides all modern facilities including oven, hob, microwave and American style fridge freezer. The utility room provides a washing machine for guest use.

This is a 4 bedroom property, offering 3 double bedrooms (one with en-suite) and a twin room with two single beds.

A large family bathroom with bidet, jacuzzi bath and separate walk-in shower.

Babies and young children are very welcome at High Green Hall. We provide a travel cot, highchair, children’s cutlery and plates, and a selection of books and toys. We also have beach items including towels, picnic blanket, crabbing buckets, nets and beach toys.

We have a large decking area that is perfect for guests to enjoy watching the sunset or cup of tea and a book while listening to the birds. A good size patio area with seating allows a more sheltered area to dine and enjoy the fresh sea air. Please note, children should be supervised in the garden area, as there are steps and some of the wild garden, if traversed, has steep sections.

We also welcome well behaved dogs (max of 2 dogs). Please advise at time of booking if you are bringing your four-legged friends. A surcharge applies towards additional cleaning costs. We provide dog bowls at the property. We kindly ask our guests to be responsible dog owners, respecting our property and the properties and area nearby.

The church retains its original characteristic, the walls are not perfectly straight and the house has what one would call a bit of character. We love its quirkiness and hope you do too!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Conveniences include an electric kettle and a washing machine.

Pure Paradise
This beautiful quaint village is pure paradise. As a family of six adults we loved every day of our 10 day stay in this wonderful village. The locals were so friendly and the scenery in the area was second to none. This property was everything we thought it would be and the pictures that sold us on the stay were not only matched in reality but surpassed. The view from the living area was sensational and the property was meticulously appointed. The seating was especially comfortable and made for a large party of adults. Parking was easy for two vehicles with one dedicated park and then street parking in front of the first car. They were always available. The kitchen was fantastic and had everything we needed to be self sufficient. The bedrooms were spacious and very warm and comfy. This was a delightful stay and I am so thrilled to endorse this property and village. 5 Star Rating.

Fantastic spot and views, beautiful property.
We stayed at High Green Hall for a few days following New Year. The property is in excellent order, and a fantastic large space for 2 families to spread out. All facilities were excellent, and it is very comfortably furnished, with excellent views of the bay and village. The house was warm, and the stove was an excellent addition, making it very toasty! A great stay, thanks very much for everything.

Traumhaft
Es war toll. Der abendliche Blick mit perfektem Sonnenuntergang überm Meer. Das Haus war sehr gut ausgestattet. Im Ort ein kleiner Laden, in welchem das Notwendigste (und ein bisschen mehr) zu finden war. Lediglich in den hinteren Schlafzimmern, gab es ein paar kleine Mitbewohner, die aber am Boden blieben ;-)
