The cottage had everything we could need and more. The cottage was immaculately clean and very comfortable and the location was perfect for sunrise walks on the beach and for exploring both the Aberdeenshire and Moray Coasts. Will we return, definately. Thank you for a wonderful holiday..

It is in a superb location with sea views and a very pleasant walk along the front into Banff. It is modern and stylish with comfortable beds and good bathroom. I am pleased to say that we did not experience the technical problems with the wifi and TV that we did on our previous visit. Very enjoyable indeed and no complaints despite somewhat poor weather. Hope to return again someday. Thanks.
