Welcome to Deveron Valley Cottages! We’re Ally and Jason, and we’ve been calling Aberdeenshire home since 2019 when we moved up from South Wales. Nestled in a beautifully renovated farm steading, we run our holiday homes with a passion for creating a welcoming, peaceful retreat for our guests. Before making the leap to Scotland, Jason worked as a master blacksmith, crafting incredible pieces with skill and artistry, while Ally spent her time in the fast-paced world of customer service. Now, we get to enjoy a slower, more creative way of life—surrounded by stunning landscapes, friendly faces, and the things we love most. We both have a deep appreciation for the outdoors and can often be found exploring the countryside on long walks. Arts and crafts, motorbikes, and dogs are a huge part of our world, and speaking of dogs, no introduction would be complete without mentioning Morag—our retired greyhound, who spends her days lounging in the sun and reminding us to take life at a relaxed pace. Deveron Valley has given us the chance to share this incredible corner of Scotland with others, and we love welcoming visitors to experience the beauty and tranquility of our little haven. Whether you're here for a quiet escape or an adventure in the Highlands, we’re here to make your stay special. Looking forward to meeting you soon!
