"Arrived early evening after an 8 hour journey and the best compliment I can give is it felt like home when we walked through the door, and our two Westies, settled just as quickly, which was a mark of just how welcoming the cottage is."
Brilliant location next to the beach and calming rumble of the waves…..and this is all you can hear which is pure bliss…..
Great walks along the beaches which were often empty, all the while often being watched by the seals…..
Everything you need is in the cottage and the Welcome Pack was a great touch……and the Black Book has all the info you need about staying in St Combs…..Fraserburgh is a short distance away with a supermarket, and an excellent Butcher and a marvellous Fish shop, as they say ‘ if you know you know’..
I cannot recommend Bella’s Cottage enough, and the quiet location of St Combs…..the cottage is not sterile but for us that is what made it the best place we could have stayed.
We are hoping to return sometime soon, especially as Annie and Hetty have the blues, running free on the beach beats walking on the lead in the city…..

"Beautiful , clean house , well maintained and very cosy."
On arrival the house was warm and bread and milk in fridge , couldn’t fault the property at all.
The view of the sea from both kitchen windows is an added bonus , the property is only 80 meters from the beach .

"We had a wonderful stay at Bellas Beach Cottage, the cottage was very clean and had everything we needed and more."
The Bedrooms were very big and spacious, beds and pillows very comfortable. The view overlooking the beach was outstanding and made us sad to leave. The Owner was lovely and really helpful with local knowledge and recommendations. The dogs had the best time too. We would love to return next year if not sooner.
Overall a lovely stay and would recommend.

"Booked this last year, reviews were great and looked beautiful, on arrival view was amazing, cottage inside was another story , the place had a musty , smell , had definitely not been cleaned, mould , dust everywhere, bottom room smelled of urine, toilet cisterns coming off walls, mould and marks all over blinds upstairs , had to go buy cleaning stuff and cleaned ourself, had to also buy cutlery as not enough for 6 people, dining room also only has 5 chairs so 1 person had to stand or go to living room on own."
Couch was filthy not been cleaned full of crumbs dirt etc only noticed as dropped phone under . Overall the place was filthy and the cleaners definitely need sacked, such a shame as I said the view is gorgeous

"What a terrific wee cottage, with an incredible view."
Everything you need for a kitchen was there and proper good quality stuff. The little extras of milk, tea bags, bread and biscuits was a welcome bonus. Alan was a very attentive host who was there if needed. Great space for 2 cars easily, if required. All the big supermarkets are within 5 miles. A fantastic charity shop called powerhouse is in the next village, just google, you'll find super bargains and very friendly volunteers. We'd loved to gave visited peterhead prison but unfortunately it was fully booked, I'd suggest a visit there. Fish and chip shops galore selling freshly caught fish. I'd highly recommend Bellas beach cottage any time.

"We had a wonderful stay at Bella's Cottage."
The cottage was warm and cozy and it was very comfortable. All facilities were as described and the rooms were well laid out and spotless. The area was quiet and peaceful with the beach literally on our doorstep. We requested that all perfumes be removed from the property as my partner is allergic to "parfum". This was done without any problem and the cottage was free of any strong scents. I would love to return to this cottage in the future.

"Lovely house in a fab location, right next to the beach."
Well equipped house with everything you need. Comfy bed and sofa, nice after a day of walking. Shower could do with updating, poor water pressure.
I was there in winter and the house was warm all day, lovely to return to after a cold walk on the beach.
Garden is not fully secure so you do have to keep an eye dogs when they are outside.
Overall a fab stay and great house, would definitely book again.

"If you like the beach ,this cottage is ideal, we stayed Sept 24, weather was not so kind but wrapped up in beach, our dogs loved it."
This is the second time we have stayed on this street and again my only concern was a high bath to get into shower ,which might be an issue for older people .A downstairs shower room would make a huge difference.
In saying all that we would recommend this cottage and will return.
It was nice to meet the owner Alan who was friendly and helpful
