Craignure

Had the best weekend with friends at Craignure.

Very helpful owner. House is stunning. Great for a quiet time away, walks and beach. Would highly recommend this property. ❤️

Having spent a week at this amazing property with phenomenal views of the sea I would highly recommend Craignure as a vacation destination.

The property is immaculately presented and very warm and comfortable. It is very close to the sea, the local hotel gift shop cafe and village shop. All in all we had an amazing stay and will definitely return .

Amazing week in Craignure- the location was spectacular with magnificent views across the bay and harbour, we even managed to spot dolphins!

! The house wanted for nothing and the hot tub was a welcome bonus especially to watch the sunsets. The village pub, cafe and shops were all a short walk away and very welcoming.

We were very excited to visit this part of Scotland and it didn't disappoint.

From the moment we arrived we were very impressed with the property, it's was immaculate, the views are amazing quality of finish is second to none. The harbour and the village is really lovely to walk around and enjoy. Also the surroundings area, Cullen, Port soy and Penman are all lovely. We enjoyed our stay!

A wonderful place to stay.

A beautifully renovated and extended modernised cottage with wonderful views. It is right in the heart of the old village and a stones throw away from the harbour!

This is the second time we have stayed at this fabulous house.

It is beautifully and tastefully decorated and its position overlooking the harbour is wonderful. Gardenstown is a lovely, friendly village. The owners are friendly and helpful. The house has everything you need and more, including binoculars. The two balconies are a delight. Thoroughly recommend this house.

The properfy is amazing with great views over the harbour and out to sea where we watched fishing boats going out and also saw a pod of dolphins swim past Everything is provided, the kitchen is well equipped with all modern appliances and the boiling water tap saves waiting on a kettle boiling when making coffee.

We loved the superking sized bed, shower is really good and was great to relax in the hot tub at the end of the day watching the sun go down with some amazing sunsets. Over all place is like new and very clean, would highly recomend a sray at Craignure.

We had such a wonderful stay at Craignure.

From the moment we arrived, it felt welcoming, and instantly like a home away from home. The house was beautiful and had everything we could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The location is stunning, with breathtaking views and peaceful surroundings that made it the perfect place to relax and unwind. Waking up to the sea each morning and enjoying walks with our dog, were the real highlights. Local shops and The Garden Arms pub are a must! Locals are so friendly and gave great recommendations of places to visit. The hosts have clearly put so much thought into every detail, making the house feel cosy, homely, and exceptionally well-equipped. It was the ideal base for exploring the local area. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to return!

What an absolutely beautiful property with the most gorgeous views.

Craignure was so comfortable with everything you need at hand. The master suite bed was fantastic as was the shower and kitchen had everything you can think of. Sitting in the hot tub watching the sun go down was spectacular. An absolute credit to the owners and great communication. Can't recommend this property highly enough definitely our favourite ❤️

Stunning house in a stunning location.

You'll be hard pressed to find a better view. Weather was great so we spent lots of time on the balcony and in the hot tub. Great walks either way to Crovie and to St Johns church. Would love to go back!

Lovely accommodation great place to relax and enjoy local pub cafe and shop

Craignure is like home from home .

Stunning views everywhere. Exceptionally well appointed . Lush Egyptian cotton bedding throughout . The view of the sunset from the hot tub is breathtaking. Paul and Ashley were great hosts. The little gift shop at the bottom of the hill is a must do ( quick mention to Paul’s daughter in law in the shop, very welcoming ,helpful , great service ) don’t miss quiz night in the Garden Arms . This property is awesome .

We enjoyed our stay Craignure accommodation was amazing with lovely views.

Great walks for our dog with a beach 5 minutes walk away.

AMAZING.

Me, my wife and Calvin the dog had the BEST week. The house is perfect. The wood burner is brilliant. The beds are comfy. The views are awesome. A short walk down to the beach and a short walk to the shop (and the pub). Great place to visit Banff, Cullen, Fraiserburgh etc. Will defo be back ❤️

What an amazing place to stay, perfect start to finish

You simply cannot get more out of this location.

Absolutely impressive. After three relaxing weeks, we return home feeling refreshed and are certain that we will see each other again next year.

We stayed for just three nights but thoroughly every moment.

The cottage had everything we could ask for — stunning views, a fabulous hot tub, and all the comforts of home. We only wish we could have stayed longer! We hopefully will return. Thank you!

We had a wonderful week at Craignure.

The house was absolutely lovely, beautifully decorated and furnished to a very high standard. It was also exceptionally well equipped, one of the best we’ve stayed in. We enjoyed using the hot tub most evenings, it was a real treat to relax under the stars. There are plenty of beautiful walks nearby for the dog, and the sea views are stunning. We were fortunate to have good weather for most of the week, which was an added bonus. Paul and Ashleigh were excellent hosts, easy to contact if needed and thoughtful enough to leave a lovely welcome basket. We would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay.

Very clean and comfortable property with everything that we needed for a very relaxing week in Gardenstown.

Great location with beach walks on the doorstep, and a friendly pub just 5 minutes walk away, serving good food. Craignure welcomes dogs too. There are views over the harbour and out to sea from the open plan sitting area, and the small balcony off the second sitting area. The hot tub was a real favourite and we used it every day of our stay, even in the rain! We hope to return sometime soon.

The property really is 2nd to none, we were truly blown away to be honest, from the stunning views, the quiet, the fixtures and fittings and the layout of the place to take advantage of the relaxing views.

It was that good we were sad to leave. In all fairness, although the Internet pictures are extremely accurate, they still don't do the place enough justice, you have to be there to appreciate just how gorgeous it is!

The best place to relax!

Beautiful property.

Outstanding views. Loved every minute

Great place everything we needed and fabulous views defo be back

This is by far the best holiday home we have stayed in.

It is spacious, very modern and tastefully decorated. The views from the picture windows and balconies overlooking the sea and harbour are fabulous and kept us entertained watching the comings and goings of the boats. Everything about the house is luxurious and thoughtful. So much so, that we have already booked again for next year.

Craignure was a fantastic property in idyllic location with tremendous views.

The property was spotlessly clean and everything provided was of good quality. The hot tub was a great bonus and certainly contributed to a great relaxing weeks holiday. Highly recommend.

It was faultless, the owners had thought of everything

We had a wonderful stay at Craignure, initially booked for 4 nights but decided to stay an extra night as we didn't want to leave!

House is very comfortable and has beautiful views across the bays. Lovely to sit in the hot tub in the evenings, we were lucky enough to see a shooting star on our last night, just beautiful. Everything was spotlessly clean and beds very comfy. Gardenstown is a lovely village, loved the walk to Crovie and the local pub serves up delicious food. Thank you to our hosts for a five star experience, we will definitely be back someday!

The best place we have stayed in by far.

Everything was top class. Paul and Ashley have thought of everything. The views from the balcony and the terrace are fantastic. Sat in the hot tub watching the sun go down - beautiful. Thank you both.

Well what can we say, without doubt the best holiday cottage/apartment that we've ever stayed in, and we've had a few.

The views are amazing and a special thankyou to Paul and Ashley for changing the quilt, it really did make a difference for me. Well definitely be back as we've fallen in love with the place. Thanks Dave and Karlene.

Lovely place VERY Well set out.

Couldn't fault it. Only thing take your own towels for juquzie. Loved Every thing place area juquzie perfect. Thank uou.

Excellent cottage.

Fabulous location with stunning views to the bay. Built by the owner to an extremely high standard, Very highly recommended. Fred

The property was very comfortable, clean had everything there we had a great time and definitely will came back again ♥️

All mod cons and THE most comfortable super king bed!

Fantastic views from upstairs windows and also from the hot tub. Everything we needed was provided and we loved our stay .

Really enjoyed both the property and the location.

At first glance Gardenstown looked to be a bit of a challenge for access and parking and to be fair the roads are a little tight, but you very quickly get used to them and are driving and parking like a local in no time! A very clean and well equipped Craignure cleverly makes use of the space that it has and is well placed to show off its greatest attribute, Gardenstown Harbour. Not joking, we properly enjoying relaxing on the high balcony watching the little ships ply their trade and then a dip in the hot tub as the sun went down. Craignure is fabulous value for money. Top accommodation at a reasonable price and hosts Paul and Ashley always at hand if you need help with anything. Gardenstown and its neighbour Crovie are really special, little fishing villages highlighting the difference between how things once were and how they are now. Go see.

This is a lovely well equipped cottage, in a beautiful location.

The views were spectacular from every window! The cottage had very good quality fixtures and finishings and has been very carefully thought out so it is really easy to live in. Very clean and well maintained. The owners were lovely and friendly too. Our family (2 wee girls) loved it here and would really recommend highly. Thank you!

Beautiful house with spectacular views We will definitely book again

Excellent value for money.

Our stay at Craignure was wonderful.

The cottage was clean, cosy and everything was provided to a high standard. The views from the cottage were absolutely stunning & it was so lovely to sit by the window in the morning and see the sunrise over the sea. The hot tub was the perfect addition and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you so much for an amazing stay.

The cottage was beautiful, very clean and furnished to a very high standard.

Excellent amount of crockery and cooking utensils. The outdoor area was very good and we made good use of the lovely hot tub.

What a beautiful place this is!

The views over the harbour and out to sea are absolutely amazing. Beautifully presented, comfortable with everything you need for a week of pure relaxation. The hot tub was a wonderful bonus especially after a busy day of exploring this area of outstanding beauty. We simply didn't want to leave! Highly recommended!

A truly perfect cottage in a spectacular place.

We loved every minute and will be back.

Spent Christmas at Craignure and it was truly magical!

The house was immaculate, had everything you could possibly need and finished to a very high standard. The hosts Ashley & Paul were fantastic, so welcoming and friendly. The view, the hot tub, the Christmas decorations and all the little touches made this a Christmas to remember. Despite Gardenstown being 13hrs from home we are already planning our return trip.

Absolutely lovely property.

Well thought out, equipped to a very high standard. Had everything you could need for a relaxed break away. Nicely furnished and the hot tub was fantastic with a great view. Christmas decorations were a very nice touch. Excellent accommodation would highly recommend it to friends and family.

A Stunning Seaside Retreat I recently had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful apartment, and I can't recommend it highly enough!

The apartment itself is spacious, well-appointed, and incredibly comfortable. One of the standout features is the breathtaking sea view waking up to the sound of waves and the sight of the horizon was truly magical. The balcony was the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee or evening sunsets. The location is fantastic, nestled in a lovely area by the seaside. There are charming shops, delightful restaurants, and plenty of opportunities for beach activities just a short stroll away. Overall, this apartment exceeded all my expectations, and I can't wait to return. If you're looking for a serene getaway with stunning views, this is the place to be!

Had a great time.

Loved the property. Cosy and homely especially with the winter storms that we experienced. Great views from the property and the hot tub. Easy access to walks, beach, pub and cafe. Locals very friendly and welcoming. Definitely be back.

The property was perfect, everything you could need was provided, enjoyed everything about gardenstown, would book and stay again.

Hottub was fantastic.

What a tonic!

This was wonderful accommodation in the beautiful village of Gardenstown. The cottage was beautifully appointed with very comfortable beds (so lovely to have a super king bed in the master bedroom), high quality furnishings and fabulous recliner chairs. The nautical theme running through the house was just lovely. The views were just spectacular, both indoors and out. We were extremely lucky to be able to see the Northern Lights from the hot tub! Ashley and Paul were fabulous hosts; so welcoming and helpful. This is a real gem of a holiday cottage. We had such a restful break and we can’t wait to go back. Thank you.

Fantastic stay, lovely house with great amenities.

I love the fact it's out of the way in a small village. Great views of the harbour and sea.

Wow Craignure is everything and more you see in pictures.

Certainly won’t let you down. It’s definitely a home from home where no expense has been spared in the home furnishings. You couldn’t possibly find a fault. Just one thing to be mindful for there is no parking with this house. However I had my 1 year old and disabled father with us and made it work just fine. Would definitely recommend will most likely return.

Fabulous holiday let, perfect for us and our pooches.

Lazy mornings, surrounding walks then evening chilling just awesome; made very especially by perfect property & amazing views from the house & hot tub x

Fantastic house in a fantastic location.

Craignure is a beautiful home, furnished to a very high standard and has everything you need for a perfect holiday. Sunsets from the hot tub were a standout memory from a week in Gamrie. Paul and Ashley are excellent hosts. 10/10

Craignure was definitely a home away from home!

So comfortable and luxurious, we had such a lovely relaxing stay. Sunsets from the hot tub and dolphins in the bay were a bonus! Ashley and Paul are the most fantastic and thoughtful hosts. We will definitely return! Thanks so much again x

Craignure is a great place to stay in Gardenstown, we were able to park just opposite the entrance which is great for off loading your luggage.

The house is amazing, well equipped with everything you need, and it's all good quality and clean and had a boiling water tap instead of a kettle which was great for quick coffees. Good views from the window and balcony over the harbour, spent ages relaxing with a coffee watching the fishing boats going out. Double bedroom has plenty space and ensuite bathroom and bed must be a super king size as loads of room and very confy. Was great relaxing in the hot tub and watching the sun go down. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday.

Our stay at Craignure was lovely, from the moment we arrived until the moment we left, it was like home from home.

The internal decor and furnishings are very high grade, and there was everything you could possibly need, from a fully fitted kitchen to a main bedroom with ensuite and super kingsize bed and great views. The hot tub was great and the views from there of the harbour and skyline are second to none. In fact this was one holiday we have had with Sykes that we didn't want to leave. We met the owners of Craignure Paul and Ashley who were both extremely helpful in providing us with information of the local area. I wont ever give 10 out of 10, but I will give this property and location 9.5 out of 10.

Craignure Cottage has been thoughtfully and beautifully furnished to a high standard; comfort and aesthetics were clearly high on the design outcome.

Our favourite place in the cottage was sitting in the reclining chairs looking at the views over the harbour and out to sea - or at least perhaps joint equal with relaxing in the hot tub. The location for beach walks and headland walks is perfect as well as for exploring the local area by car. Don’t be put off by lack of parking at the property - there’s masses available just a 2 minute walk away.

We had a fantastic base from which to enjoy our holiday.

This house is perfect with luxury aspects we didn’t expect. There are a few areas in the house in which you can sit and relax and enjoy different views that really help you relax and take it easy. The hot tub was brilliant as you could sit in this lovely heat watching the sun set on the horizon on the sea, absolutely beautiful. Another aspect that helped was that Paul (the owner) was on hand with great advice and general friendliness but not at all pushy. In summary I would encourage this as a holiday accommodation as it’s one of the best we have ever experienced and we have been to quite a few.

Just home from craignure and can't recommend this home high enough, simply fantastic.

With some homes the photos shown hide the truth but not here, everything is exactly as shown. Top quality furniture, bedding, towels no expense has been spared in making this a home from home. The views from the house are fantastic and with the living space being upstairs you have stunning views of the bay from the windows and balcony, sometimes we would be watching TV and then find ourselfs just looking out the window over the harbour. The hottub was great and also has views out over the harbour to sea and a great place to relax after a long day exploring the fantastic coastline and beautiful walks in the area. There is plenty of outside space which is on terraces but is well guarded by fences making it a safe home for children and animals. Sorry to go on a bit but we both enjoyed our stay so much we can't wait to return. Many thanks David & Caroline

We had a fantastic week away in Craignure.

The cottage is beautifully decorated and has everything you could need. The views are stunning from the balcony, sitting room and hot tub. We enjoyed relaxing and watching the view of the harbour and had a beautiful view of the sunset. The harbour is a very short walk away. Gardenstown is a peaceful place with a little dog-friendly pub, cafe and a couple of shops for groceries. It is a perfect little place for a relaxing holiday. Also the bird watching here is great, with gannets and other types of birds being spotted daily. The host was very friendly and welcoming and even texted to let us know there was going to be Northern Lights one evening. Lots of other places to drive to not too far away, including the local RSPB with hundreds of nesting gannets in May! Would definitely come back.

We had the most perfect stay at craignure.

I could not recommend it more . Everything was just perfect . The owners have pulled out all the stops to ensure your stay is memorable . The standard of accommodation is more than excellent . Thankyou. We will definitely return. Dogs loved it too

The property is stunning.

So modern and has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The views from the house are beautiful and the place is so peaceful. Would definitely go back.

We were lucky enough to be one of the first guests at Craignure which was a lovely surprise.

The house is very well thought out with many home comforts thought in advance. I loved the instructional videos, making it easy to get set up and relax into the holiday. This was our first visit to Gardenstown and the town itself is really quaint. The location of the Craignure is close to the harbour, affording fantastic views regardless of the weather. The town is well equipped with a shop (with pretty much everything you would need), pub and cafe. The local beach and coastal walks suited our dog perfectly. The house itself is lovely and was perfect for me, my hubbie, kids and dog. The kids enjoyed the huge TV in the living room as well as the hot-tub, participating in the latter every night of our stay. The harbour and bay views along with dark skies making that experience all the better. I enjoyed having the second seated area with the wood burner as a retreat at the end of the day, but also took advantage of the balcony in the morning for breakfast at sunrise and at night with a lovely glass as the sun went down. Some of the luxury features were very appreciated and we are now looking at getting our own boiling water tap! There are some basic provisions provided, so if you intend on using the dishwasher and washing machine during your stay, remember to bring some extra products. The hosts we also very helpful and only a call way. Our only disappointment was having to leave at the end. We would love to return and have already recommended Craignure to friends.

We had a very enjoyable stay for 7 nights, could've stayed longer great bed great shower great views great hot tub, host was a phone call away
