Broadsea Farm B&B
Broadsea is set in scenic farmland between Inverurie and the hill of Bennachie, the hill being very popular with walkers. Located 5 miles from Inverurie, this family run farm of some 200 acres offers accommodation of a high standard, along with a warm welcome.
The location is good for anglers in that it is only a short distance by car from the River Don, upstream of Inverurie. It is also an excellent base from which to explore most of the rainbow trout fisheries listed on this website.
