Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found the cottage to be very clean, with no specific complaints about cleanliness, suggesting a high standard. One review mentioned poor quality bedding, which slightly lowers the score.
The location received mixed reviews. While some found Macduff to be a perfect starting point for exploring, others described the general area as run down and not safe at night, leading to an average score.
Guests generally found the cottage comfortable, with spacious rooms and a cosy sitting area. However, one review mentioned poor quality mattresses and a lack of storage, which slightly reduces the score.
The cottage is praised for its well-equipped kitchen and good Wi-Fi. However, issues with maintenance such as a jamming toilet door, a problematic shower screen, and a sliding door needing repair have led to a lower score.
There are no mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches from the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide a score for thoughtfulness.
About this property
Centrally located in Macduff, a coastal town in Aberdeenshire is RockStar Cottage, a family-friendly three-bedroom holiday home. Well-positioned near local amenities and the beach, whilst offering flexible sleeping arrangements and a well-equipped kitchen, the property provides the perfect base for a self-catered stay, welcoming five guests. Enter the homely living/dining room, featuring plush sofas, a dining table for five and a Smart TV, before heading into the kitchen, housing all expected appliances to rustle up delicious home cooked meals. Head outdoors for some fresh air to the rear garden, before returning indoors to freshen up in the ground-floor bathroom, featuring both a bath and shower. Once sleep calls, retire upstairs to find the three bedrooms, well-presented and dotted with storage, where you can make yourself at home ahead of your Aberdeenshire adventure; you'll find a double, a twin, and a single, offering flexibility for all. To ease your self-catered break, head into the town to stock up on the essentials or to visit one of many local eateries, before touring Macduff Marine Aquarium, hiking up Bridge of Alvah, playing a round of golf at Duff House Royal Golf Club, or attending a host of events at Duff House. Travelling towards the coastline, feel at one with nature by travelling through RSPB Scotland Troup Head, offering stunning cliff top views, or head west towards Portsoy Harbour, with the chance to discover the remains of Boyne Castle, or watch out for some dolphins at Moray Firth. Further popular attractions in the area include Fyvie Castle, a magnificent structure, housing antiques and heritage-rich exhibits, and Pitmedden Garden & Museum of Farming Life, where you can enjoy afternoon tea, follow the forest trail or stroll around its blooming gardens.

On the Moray Coast in the northeast of Scotland, MacDuff is located on Banff Bay and has a view of the town of Banff across the estuary of the River Deveron. Macduff has beautiful sunsets and breath-taking sea views, and the town's architecture honours its maritime past. With its charming fishing communities scattered around the coastline, Scotland's northeast coast is a hidden gem and a great place to explore. There is a busy working harbour at MacDuff. The town itself has a lot to offer, including a wide variety of stores and fine dining establishments. A trip to the MacDuff Aquarium is a must to witness the species present in the Moray Firth's waters. The Royal Tarlair course presents a challenge for golfers because it is built on sheer cliffs and lost balls are never found!

The cottage was very comfortable and spacious and provided a great base for exploring the joys of Northern Scotland. The bedrooms were comfortable, as was the sitting room. The kitchen was well equipped. There isn't anything that I would change and I would happily stay again. If anyone is thinking of visiting this area I would strongly recommend choosing Rock Cottage.

The cottage was comfortable and great fun although I was bamboozled by the electric hob and would have preferred a shorter walk to the loo at night.
