Craigievar

Very clean, perfect for our needs, wonderful views.

The owner was especially helpful with a couple of our questions so, a "home run" in our estimation. Many thanks and we are finalizing next summer right now to revisit :)

Only gripe was inability to get en suite bathroom ventilator to operate.

Appeared to be switched on but would not function. Otherwise flawless. Nice hosts too!

Welcome gift on entry, some little extras for the dogs.

Everything you need for your stay. Great views. Plenty of space for 2 families and the dogs loved their walks on the beach. We enjoy it so much this was our 3rd stay. A visit to Aden country park is great for the kids, Newburgh beach to see the seals or walk through Forvie Nature Reserve to see the old settlement. Eating locally at both ST Olaf Hotel and Harbour Dunes Cafe was enjoyed by all.

Lovely house in beautiful setting.

Very well equipped. Ideal spot for visiting castles and coast. Owners friendly and helpful

The best location and the best property i have ever stayed in.

It was very clean, everything you would ever need and the views were excellent. By far the pest place to stay i have ever used. This was the second time i have stayed there and at 88 i am hoping to stay there again next year,

We had a lovely stay at Craigievar.

The accommodation was perfect,comfortable and cosy. Beautiful views over the golf course to the sea from the lovely sunny sitting room and nice area to sit out if warm enough. Nice welcome pack too. We were a couple and pooch so spoiled for space.

The reality of Craigievar is just as seen in the photographs.

The fantastic views over the golf course to the sea beyond can be seen from the dining kitchen and the lounge. There is also an outside terrace with comfortable garden furniture that offers a sheltered space to relax and enjoy the view. The house has everything you need and more with a well equipped kitchen and very comfortable beds.

Fantastic location on the edge of the golf course Very well equipped for cooking Immaculately clean We would absolutely recommend this cottage and is superbly located for exploring Scotland

We had a lovely stay at this property.

The accommodation was fantastic, a very comfortable bed and a kitchen with EVERYTHING you would need. I appreciated the thoughtful touches eg kitchen roll/washing pods/hand soap etc. It is also the first holiday rental with a food waste provided

Another wonderful stay at Craigievar.

We especially appreciated the welcome pack. Will definitely be returning.

What a fantastic place to stay & relax, the view was amazing, and we really appreciated the welcome pack.

Had everything we needed and the internet was great, as my partner has an online business so this is a must for us. We all enjoyed our walks along the beach everyday, especially our dog. Highly recommended Craigievar.

A fabulous property with fantastic views.

Facilities were first class, spotlessly clean. Appreciated the welcome pack. Spacious and comfortable in all rooms, good parking space. Enjoyed by 3 generations and a dog. Joe the owner was very friendly and had excellent knowledge of the area. Happy to recommend this property.

This is an excellent place to stay in such a beautiful location with lovely views across the golf course and beyond.

Comfortably furnished with many thoughtful features- nice electric reclining chairs in the lounge too. Easy parking right outside and a very practical layout all on the same level. Would certainly not hesitate to recommend and look forward to staying again.

House was very comfortable and clean, with everything you need.

Much appreciated welcome pack. Stunning views over the golf course. Great base to explore the surrounding area. Would highly recommend.

Lovely cottage.

Very clean and comfortable. Very well equipped kitchen

Very well equipped, comfortable, quiet, perfect for our week exploring Aberdeenshire.

Appreciated provision of simple things; washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, teas, coffees , snacks etc on top of quality furnishings and cleanliness.

Beautifully appointed and spotlessly clean bungalow, in the perfect location for exploring the Aberdeenshire countryside and coastline.

Would highly recommend and would be happy to return.

It was such a lovely and elegant stay.

Views overlook the most picturesque scenes: sea/rolling mounds (golf course) and changing sky (weather) -just so relaxing and quiet

This was our second visit and despite the weather we had another great stay with amazing views from the property.

Have already booked for a return visit next year.

Property owners were extremely helpful.

Which made us feel as if we were home from home. Certainly would love to go back again age and health permitting.

Spacious, quite well equipped, quiet, lovely prospect over the golf course (first green, second tee) towards the sea.

Excellent property with everything you could need with a very concise information manual.

High quality furniture and was immaculate. The view was amazing. We would highly recommend this property and would love to back.

Lovely house equipped with everything you need for your holiday.

Great welcome pack. The view was amazing, beautiful beaches close by to explore, our 2 dogs loved it.

We have used many holiday properties over the years and this was one of the best in terms of space, comfort, location and being well equipped.

Absolutely as good as described on the website and have no hesitation about recommending highly.

Not only is it a beautifully maintained property in a superb location but we also appreciated the extra touches, such as some basic essentials as well as the welcoming bottle of wine and fruit and chocolates.

We’re very much looking forward to returning.

Excellent property, very comfortable & everything you needed for your stay was provided.

Lovely place.

This is by far the best accommodation we have booked and stayed at.

Exceptionally clean and well catered for. Location is fantastic, especially if you have dogs as the golf course is on your doorstep and beach a few hundred meters away. Anyone wishing to holiday in the area will be hard pushed to find better accommodation at this level of value for money. Highly recommend.

Had a lovely relaxing week at Craigievar.

Cottage is very well equipped, cosy and comfortable. The views over the golf course and out to sea are stunning. The beach is a short walk away and is a very beautiful and peaceful spot. Would not hesitate to return.

A really beautiful house in a gorgeous area.

It was a real pleasure to stay there and the owners were so kind and totally unobtrusive. The house has literally everything that you could need. ❤️

Beautiful, and had everything there in abundance, Host had catered for all of our needs.

Amazing property.

Fantastic views of the golf course and sea, and had everything provided that we could possibly need for a relaxing few days away. We really appreciated the treats that were provided, after a long drive to get here. The cottage is wonderfully peaceful, spotlessly clean, and we also had the pleasure of meeting the friendly owner, who answered any questions that we had, and advised on quiet walks with our dog etc. In short, it is impossible to improve this cottage and the relaxing stay we had.

Great cottage with fantastic views.

Booked for a week to catch up with family. Weather colder than expected but cottage was really cosy. Grandchildren loved their room. Cottage has everything you need, including bowls and towels for the dog, who loved the big garden. Lots to do close by including Cruden Bay beach, pop into the recently opened Harbour Cafe which is dog friendly, Forvie Nature Reserve, seal watching at Newburgh beach and a little further away is Aden Country Park which is great for any younger family members. The lock on the family bathroom door was stiff so may need checking, also not able to use bottom drawer in freezer as frozen solid, otherwise we have been so impressed with our stay we have already booked a return visit for next year.

We holiday twice yearly with my sister and her husband, and over the years, we have stopped in some lovely properties.

Craigievar is definitely one of the best. We all thought it was comfortable and extremely clean. The facilities were excellent and the furniture was of high quality. The view from the cottage is fantastic.. being able to see the sea and a golf course, the boys were in Heaven! The gorgeous weather in the day and beautiful harvest moons on an evening were an extra bonus. A big thank you to the owners for renting out such a lovely home

Very comfortable bungalow with amazing views.

Everything that we needed for our stay was included and the standard of cleanliness was excellent.

This is a wonderful property, so much so that we have stayed here three times.

It really feels like a home away from home, with everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The house is spacious, clean, and those views — we haven't tired of them yet. It's dog-friendly, with a big garden and amenities like dog bowls, towels, and poo bags available. The owners are friendly and helpful, always ensuring we had everything we needed. We enjoyed the lovely walks to the beach and Slains Castle. There are also two hotels with restaurants nearby, both welcoming dogs, making dining out very convenient. We will definitely stay here again whenever we are in the area.

Craigievar is in a wonderful location with stunning views across the golf course.

The property is very comfortable and tastefully furnished plus extremely well equipped, it has everything and more than you would expect from a holiday cottage. The owners also provided a very thoughtful “welcome pack”. We would happily return.

Very well presented property in a beautiful location with wonderful views.

It was very well equipped,spotlessly clean and very comfortable .Although the weather was pretty cold and windy we did see some sunshine and enjoyed our holiday. We found the owners to be friendly and helpful. The welcome gifts we received were very much appreciated .

We were given a key for the back door which wouldn't fit, so we were unable to open the back door.

Unable to open windows in the lounge. We have stayed at many Sykes cottages over the years, and this is the first one that the owners didn't make themselves known, we never saw them all week, just to say hello and welcome even. It was also missing a radio in the kitchen, for background music. The rooms were first class and comfortable and the welcome pack was much appreciated, after a very long drive.

It is the second time we have stayed at Craigievar.

The setting, Cottage, facilities, cleanlieness, and views are outstanding. We stayed with our two dogs and thouroughly enjoyed our time. There is top notch food close by with the Kilmarnock Arms Hotel and a lovely walk to Slains Castle very close, as well as the beech. Highly recommended. Thank you from Gerald, June, Lottie & Tycho!

Excellent views looking towards Slain's Castle, overlooking the golf course and the sea.

The property was very comfortable and beautifully appointed. Would definitely return there again if we are on holiday in Aberdeenshire.

The cottage was amazing!

So clean and had everything in it we could possibly need :) The views from the cottage are incredible, and the garden is beautiful and very well maintained! Will 100% be coming back

Absolutely fabulous.

Everything was perfect. Only thing that let us down was the weather. Beds were very comfy. Plenty of seating in the lounge. Kitchen utensils etc well stocked and everything you would need was provided. View was stunning and even better on a sunny day. Could see Slains Castle from the cottage. Would absolutely stay there again. We all had a fantastic time.

We had a lovely stay at Craigievar, it had everything we needed for our stay with 3 adults, 2 dogs and a toddler!

Fantastic views over Cruden Bay golf course out to Slains Castle. Very well appointed and the hosts were very friendly and helpful during our stay.

We had a lovely few days at Craigievar, despite arriving during Storm Babet!

The cottage is warm, clean, modern, spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped, with everything you would need for your stay, and it was nice to receive the welcome pack, including wine. We had a small issue with the heating which was sorted out very quickly by the owner who lives next door. The weather was awful because of the storm, so we didn't venture far, so it was good to have Netflix as an alternative to the normal TV. The views from the cottage were still great, even in the bad weather, over the golf course towards the sea, where the waves were battering the shore in spectacular fashion, and also the imposing Slains Castle in the distance. We had a great meal in the St Olaf Hotel next door one night, very handy if you don't want to cook. We would happily return to Craigievar if we were going to stay up that way again. Thank you

The property is perfect 6 adults, a baby and a dog and plenty of room for us all.

Plenty to do without needing to use the car everyday and for those who play golf would be really perfect. We will return one day. The Rose family

We arrived late afternoon to a beautiful vista in front of the bungalow looking over Cruden Bay golf course bathed in sunshine.

The bungalow is well equipped with everything a holiday let needs. It was spotless. The welcome pack was lovely. Joe and Gillian live next door and were very welcoming. We had no need of their help as everything was as expected, but it is useful to know they are on hand if necessary. We have no doubts about returning or recommending Craigievar.

What a wonderful week we have had at Craigievar.

We arrived to a lovely welcome pack and were instantly amazed by how beautiful the house was and the gorgeous views! Wonderful base it had everything we needed and more. The local area is quiet - one thing you should know is the local shop only opens until 6pm (3 on Sundays) the beach is a short walk downhill and slains castle was a winner with the kids. The owners were so lovely and accommodating and not at all intrusive. I’m going to miss my morning brew watching the boats and the golfers!

Absolutely fantastic location.

We could not of asked for a better place to stay. The property has amazing views and feels like a home from home. Thank you for our wonderful stay. Pete

Lovely cottage.

Well equipped, well situated, ample room for a family of 5. The quality of fixtures and fittings was excellent. The extra touches such as bread, milk, wine and snacks were appreciated. But also having cling film and tin foil meant we didn’t have to buy full rolls for a 10 day holiday. A great base for visiting family in the area.

What a fantastic place, we (four adults and one dog) had a wonderful week in Craigievar.

Great kitchen / dining area with plenty of space and great views from the windows. Lounge is also great with plenty of room and large TV. The beach is a short walk away and can be made into a circular walk via the footpath across the golf course. A walk to Slains Castle is also well worth it. We did lots of walking every day as there are so many places nearby. Thank you for the welcome pack and lovely clean cottage.

This is a lovely property with wonderful views.

The furnishings are of excellent quality and very comfortable. The owners are available next door, but not intrusive at all. There was a great welcome pack including a bottle of wine. Very much appreciated. The nearby beach is around 15 minutes walk and a 15 minute drive takes you to Newburgh Seal beach both of which are wonderful. Further afield we visited Portsoy, Balmoral and St. Andrews. Thank you so much to Joe and Gillian for making our holiday extra special.

Lovely bungalow with a great view

Fantastic spacious clean property in a stunning location overlooking the golf course and within easy reach of great walks along the beach.

Many thanks for the welcome pack and everything you need was in the property. Thank you so much for a wonderful time.

A fantastic holiday home.

It was very clean and homely. We went in January and house was very cosy. Large kitchen and dining area which was very well equipped. Plenty of crockery, glasses, cutlery etc. Lovely welcome pack too. Very comfortable bed. Lounge was large with plenty of seating, large smart tv and beautiful views. House is in a lovely area with lovely beach nearby and plenty of interesting places to visit and walks to enjoy. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

We have stayed at this lovely property previously and as before it was better than perfect and suited our needs perfectly, everything was spotlessly clean and we look for to returning again soon.

With special thanks to the owner and Linda the cleaning lady who went out of their way to help us regarding an unfortunate situation with my mother in law.

Beautiful property with stunning views.

Lots of gorgeous beaches to walk on. Had everything we needed as well as lovely local pub Kilmarnock arms serving great food.

The bungalow was excellent very comfortable and modern brilliant location and the view was spectacular

Gillian & Jo extended a very warm & friendly welcome on arrival and throughout our stay.

Every aspect of the holiday property deserved 10/10 and the rest! Views are amazing, location ideal for dotting about the area and the Golf Course provided a spectacular array for both a golfer and non golfer. Sparkey our Bedlington was well cared for too with dog bowls, towels etc and plenty beach walks and entertainment. Would highly recommend a visit. Best wishes and thank you Hazel, Kenny & Sparkey

Perfect in every way Lovely place ,lovely people

A nice well equipped bungalow with the friendly helpful owners in the adjoining property.

Well located for attractions, coastal walks and lovely beaches.

What a week, the weather was perfect and so was the bungalow.

We have stayed in some nice cottages, I'd say this is one of the best. The view was out of this world, looking over to the castle was amazing. The welcome pack was the best we've ever had, very appreciated. Joe the owner came to check we were OK which was lovely too. Hopefully we will be back. Loved it. Thank you.

Craigievar was an outstanding property with everything we required for our holiday, the house was spotlessly clean in every way also with the most wonderful views over the golf course.

With grateful thanks to the property owners for their most thoughtful welcome pack and the wine.

It’s a very beautiful house, clean,a range rooms beautiful view, nice house also the roads are safe.

I see that everything is good and perfect

Cargievar is a stunning property, furnished to a very high standard and exceptionally clean throughout.

The hosts are very friendly with excellent communication. The views are magnificent and a real highlight. Don’t hesitate to book, you won’t regret it.

What a beautiful cottage with everything you need for your stay.

Felt like being at home. Stunning views and it was so peaceful. Just what we needed for a relaxing chilled week. Would definitely recommend and would definitely come back. Thank you

Lovely house, great location and well equipped.

Great base for touring the surrounding areas.

Property owner was lovely and very helpful.

Had an amazing time. Great facilities. Couldn't fault the place at all. Easy property to find. Some lovely walks and great places to visit locally. Would highly recommend. The property was well thought of to client comfort which was such a great personal touch. Would definitely come here again! Over the moon with the holiday and accommodation . Thank you!
