5 Bedroom Ski Chalet in Banff, Cornhill
Welcome to White House Retreat – your ultimate Highland stay. Brimming with natural light, vibrant colours, and thoughtful touches, this home offers stunning views, easy access to local attractions, and all the space you need to relax and recharge.
Nestled in the picturesque town of Banff, it's a true Scottish experience. Whether you're exploring whisky distilleries, discovering castles, or even searching for Nessie, there's endless adventure to be had in this stunning corner of Scotland!
Throughout the home, thoughtful details and vibrant patterns create an elegant yet playful atmosphere, reflecting the warmth and spirit of Scotland. Spread across two spacious floors, the home is perfect for families, groups, or special occasions. With three distinct living areas, it offers the ideal space for both socializing and quiet moments, whether you're enjoying a cosy evening by the fire, reading in a sunlit nook, or gathering for movie night.
At the heart of the home is a large dining table off the kitchen, perfect for a hearty breakfast or a relaxed evening gathering. The charming country-style kitchen, with bold red accents and mint-green cabinetry, adds warmth and personality. The kitchen features a traditional Aga range, an electric oven, a grill, induction hobs, and a washing machine in the boiler room.
With five individually styled bedrooms, there's plenty of room for everyone. The largest bedroom, a family bedroom on the ground floor, offers a kingsize bed, a double bed, and a single bed, alongside a modern en-suite shower room that provides easy access for less able guests.
Upstairs, you'll find a kingsize bedroom, a double bedroom, a single bedroom, and a children's room with bunk beds for the little ones. Two additional bathrooms with modern finishes – one with a bath and the other with a bath and shower over – complete the upper floor.
Externally, there are wonderful natural gardens wrapping all around the house, completely private with plenty of space to enjoy.
Located near the top of Scotland on the Moray coast, this property is just 10 minutes from the sea. The area is renowned for its many whisky distilleries, offering a range of distillery tours, workshops, and masterclasses, with the opportunity to take home a rare bottle or two. Notable local distilleries include Balvenie, Strathisla, and GlenDronach, though there are plenty more to discover on the famous Whisky Trail. (It's said the only thing stronger than the whisky is the warmth of the Scottish welcome!)
For a day trip, Loch Ness is just two hours away, offering breathtaking views, a visit to the historic Loch Ness Castle (where you can book tickets online), and the chance to take a boat trip across the loch, passing the castle and soaking in the history of the area.
The region is also home to several other beautiful castles and historical sites. For the adventurous, St Fillan's Cave in Fife and McGregor's Cave in Perth are must-see landmarks. You can also visit Shore Inn at Portsoy, famous for being featured in several episodes of Peaky Blinders, with plenty of photo opportunities around the pub. Take a pleasant walk around the harbour and indulge in a treat at the nearby Portsoy Ice Cream Shop.
