This cottage was just as described! The kitchen was well stocked with all that we needed for making our own meals and we enjoyed lovely views at the table while we ate. It was a perfect place to take our teens for scrambling over the rocks on the shore, and finding the cliff path all the way there!
We loved the garden which was ideal for the dogs. The location suited us as it was near our family. We were a bit disappointed that the pub within walking distance wasn't open
Perfect location for us and a lovely little property. Very easy to get to and from Aberdeen in around 15 to 20 minutes. Property needs a bit of upgrading, particularly to the kitchen. Property is smaller than expected and the angled ceilings upstairs make these rooms better for smaller children. Amazing sea view, quiet and with outdoor space/garden. Garden isn't enclosed which is good to know if you are bringing a dog.
We stayed for 5 days but plan to return for a week next year. It have everything you needed and many extras on top. To stand at the end of the garden and watch the dolphins was magical.
Lovely warm cosy cottage with all we needed for the stay, fantastic garden with beautiful views, small fence at each end and it felt very safe for our dogs who loved it. Lots of places to visit in the area. Very peaceful location, yet minutes drive away from shops etc for supplies. We saw the dolphins and seals from the bottom of the garden, it was perfect. Thank you for letting us stay, hope to be back one day.
It was our second time in this great house. It is perfectly situated in a small cul-de-sac and offers unrivalled views of the sea. It is lovingly furnished and nothing is missing. We would love to come back.
The views were great. The cottage was clean and set-up well.
Intro booklet received in advance was very helpful. Lots of good walks in the area.
Lisa and David were quick to respond when we had a question.
Really enjoyed the cottage, sitting in the sun room reading a book was special.
What can I say? It was our second time in the cottage and it was even better than the first time. We felt immediately at home. The house is beautifully situated, the view is fantastic, the conservatory is ideal for enjoying the time. From Portlethen you can reach the entire east coast, castles, fantastic beaches, beautiful towns and lots of nature.We would love to go back tomorrow.
Thank you Lisa and David for the hospitality, the great facilities, the many tips and the uncomplicated arrival and departure.
And if you ever want to sell the house....
Two golfers from Canada played golf in the area for a few days. Property was perfect as a home base. Good location in the Scottish countryside with a spectacular view of sea. Short drive to grocery store.
The property location was beautiful, being able to see the ocean out the front door as well as a short walk to the cliffâs edge. The living quarters were clean and fairly comfortable, though the kitchen area was quite small but feel that is probably the norm for places in Scotland. The amenities listed on the website noted a washer and a dryer. There is no dryer, so that amenity should be corrected for future customers. Also, we had an unfortunate happening where we did not have hot water in the shower after 4 days of our 8 night stay, but did have hot water in the kitchen and bathroom sink. Appears a part needed to be ordered for the shower and did not arrive in time before our departure. We did get some compensation for our inconvenience of not being able to shower for 4 days. Despite our unfortunate situation with the shower, we did enjoy our time here.
Our stay was absolutely fantastic. The cottage was just as described and even better in person. So incredibly peaceful there and the views are indescribable! Loved sitting on the bench and taking it all in. We even saw a double rainbow, end to end! Lisa and David are phenomenal hosts. There was an item that needed tended to and they took care of it asap. They went above and beyond! Location is great as well. Plenty to do in the area; castles, distilleries, museums, hiking etc! The people are friendly and really made you feel at home. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Lovely base by the sea with friendly cats coming to visit. Great base to explore local castles and to climb some Eastern Munros. Thoroughly recommended.
The photos in the listing do not do this house justice. The views from the garden are spectacular. It doesnât even seem real! There is everything you could possibly need in the house. Fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, floor to ceiling books and a big shower with hot water. We wish that we could move there and stay forever.
Zu zweit hatten wir eine wunderschöne Zeit, mit dem Zug kommt man ganz unkompliziert nach Aberdeen, das Cottage ist auch im Februar wunderbar warm und gemĂŒtlich und die Aussicht spektakulĂ€r.
We stayed from the 2nd to 7th of Jan 2024 and had a fantastic time . The cottage is fantastic,it's warm it's homely and it's fantasticly equipped. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
I hardly want to write this so nobody else books but it would be unfair to gatekeep such a perfect property. I cried when we had to leave! The garden and cliff top setting is just heavenly - we spent hours watching the waves, the birds and the sky change. The cottage is spotless, towels and bedding top quality and kitchen is filled with everything you need! Beforehand hosts responded rapidly and during everything was explained thoroughly so we didn't need to get in touch! Can't recommend enough and will hopefully be booking again in the future! Thank you x
