Took 5 hours sat in our coats before the house was habitable and have subsequently discovered that the contact number for the caretaker is disconnected. However, after that we had an enjoyable stay. The property was very clean and comfortable with everything you need. Is perfectly positioned for the beach and all village amenities and ideal for those with dogs. Would definitely recommend if the arrival issues are sorted as not very welcoming

It is very comfortable and well appointed, with a well-equipped kitchen & lovely bedding and towels. The artwork is also a delight! The wee shop opposite is great for bread, milk, newspapers etc & for finding out about local matters. The beach at Cruden Bay is a joy to walk on- or to build sandcastles , kick a football or enjoy paddling. Just along at Port Erroll is Harbour Dunes cafe, perfect for a coffee or a snack after a bracing walk. Peterhead, Fraserburgh, Boddam, Newburgh and Ellon all lie nearby and are worth a visit. We would definitely like to return sometime to 15, Main Street!
