The Laurels

What an amazing find, beautiful cottage in a stunning location.

The cottage was everything you could wish for, home from home & more. Everything was just perfect, very comfortable & cosy. The sea was on your doorstep, spent a lot of time outside watching the sea.

We loved The Laurels!

Beautiful house, beautiful place, beautiful weeks holiday. The house was clean and comfortable with everything we needed to cook all week. The beds, bedding, bath, shower.. all just perfect. The house is situated on the water practically and looking out over the sea is incredible. Bit of a hill getting in and out of Pennan itself but it’s very much worth it. Swimming in the little harbour each day. We all had a wonderful time. Thank you so much!

Wonderful accommodation - lots of space.

Each bedroom is has sea view - which is amazing. A perfect place to spend the solstice in Pennan with wonderful skies all through the night.

Lovely spacious cottage.

It was spotlessly clean and had everything we could need beds very comfortable. Beautiful location.

We had a fantastic time at The Laurels, the house was super clean and well maintained, very modern and very comfortable.

The bedrooms were big and the beds were all very comfortable, best nights sleeps listening to the waves as all the bedrooms look out on the sea. We loved the outside space at the back and the wee path up to a viewing point. We highly recommend and plan to go back next year. Can’t wait.

The Laurels is a very comfortable house with all the facilities you need.

Waking up in the morning to see the sea from the window is an added bonus.

We had a fantastic time at this cottage, we would highly recommend it.

We will definitely revisit.

The cottage is in an absolutely gorgeous location, you can hear/watch the waves crashing on the shore whilst staying cosy inside.

The shower is great and the heating or the fire keep you warm after a cold walk around the farmlands. We had a great stay and Vicki was really great with communications before and during our stay! The beds were really comfy and the windows keep all outside noise out so I slept great despite being in a new place!

Both the location and accommodation were excellent.

The owners Aaron and Viki could not have been more helpful when we had a small query, which was dealt with straight away. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend the Laurels.

Fabulous ,spacious , modern, well renovated property ,well equipped to a very high standard.

Toasty warm , immaculately clean. Very comfy sofas and beds , powerful shower. Lovely view straight out to the sea . Quirky , private garden under the lea of the cliff behind the house . Welcome pack of milk , wine and biscuits was a lovely thought . Nice touch with floor level lights on stairs as they are a little steep , well carpeted, good handrail. Not a problem as there is a large bedroom and bathroom downstairs . We often visit the village , will now only use this property , stunning .

Had a great stay at the laurels.

A lot of thought has gone into making this a place to relax and enjoy the perfect break with the sea and harbour literally on your door step. And in the evenings sit back and watch the massive smart tv . Would definitely recommend a stay here. Anthony + family.

Big views, comfortable property, very clean and easy to navigate around.

Plenty to do once you get your bearings.

We had a fantastic week in The Laurels.

The property has been finished to a high spec, very well equipped with comfy beds and excellent showers. Just open the bedroom curtains and you are looking at the sea and there were enough chairs in the storeroom for the 6 of us to sit out at the front with a morning coffee or evening Prosecco. Would highly recommend and would definitely like to return in the near future. Also, had an excellent meal in the Pennan Inn and lovely coffee and cake in the Coastal Cuppie tea/coffee hut on the harbour. Dave, Lou & family

Lovely property, no complaints at all.

Highly recommended if you want that 'off the beaten track type' experience.

We loved our stay at The Laurels!

The house is finished to a really high standard, good quality furniture and was immaculately clean throughout. We especially liked that pegs were provided for hanging washing, as well as dishwasher tablets, washing powder and cleaning products. We had a powercut during the week we stayed, and unfortunately the only solution for the power company was to hook up a generator outside the property next to the bedrooms. This wasn't a fault of the owners though and they were very quick to contact us and keep us up to date with what was happening, and also came round to help reset the boiler for us. The only improvement I would suggest is perhaps to have a fan (we stayed during a particularly warm week though!) and perhaps a fly curtain for the door from the living room to outdoor area. We had the door open for air but we had too many flies/bees come in and had to close over. Overall an amazing property and we'd definitely book again.

We have thoroughly enjoyed our return stay at The Laurels in Pennan.

A week of fun by the coast with loads of great walks, pier jumping and a paddleboarding. The cottage is a great home to come back and relax in. We had an issue with the boiler on arrival due to a power cut and they came out straight away to reset it and couldn't have been more helpful! Thanks again for a fab stay!

Absolutely stunning property, what a week we had!

The village is like walking into another world, we had the best time relaxing by the sea and discovering the coves nearby. The house is well equipped, very clean and comfortable, we all felt totally at home and didn’t want to leave! It was one of the best holidays we have had as a family and cannot wait to come back

House was beautifully presented and spotlessly clean.

Everything had been thought of. location was fabulous. Was very lucky with the weather so made good use of the seats provided to sit out the front. Lovely surprise of Scottish shortbread and a bottle of wine in the fridge. Will definitely book again

The property at the laurels was lovely .

...can't think of anything that wasn't great..lovely view....only thing, and it's nothing to do with the property....there's just a pub there to eat at.....not really a problem as you'll have a car anyhow

The cottage was just as described, clean and very comfortable.

The beds are lovely and we slept well. The only addition I would suggest is possibly a slow cooker as we were out most days

Thanks for a great stay in a beautiful location.

The house is very comfortable and spacious with modern interiors in a traditional setting. Especially suited to anyone who wants to get away from it all, although the local hotel serves great evening meals and is very popular plus the harbour coffee kiosk adds to the facilities on your doorstep. Very nice hosts who checked in by email to make sure all was well, plus an excellent app provided that explained everything we needed and more.

We had such a relaxing stay at The Laurels - it is a warm and comfortable cottage with everything you could need (super comfy beds, excellent wood burner , well-equipped kitchen, and amazing showers) for the best holiday away by the sea.

The little welcoming touches from the hosts were a lovely treat on arrival. The views of the sea from the garden must be such a treat in summer - we'd love to come back! It's just a shame that the Pennan Inn a few doors down didn't reopen for the season until the week after we left!

What a fabulous cottage, beautifully furnished, warm and with every last detail thought about.

Great to have a big fridge and oven with all the kitchen equipment of really high quality. Just a great place to stay. The showers were amazing and the beds comfortable. The location was perfect for us to explore the local area and enjoy the rough sea from a safe distance! Would absolutely recommend and stay again. We had a lovely Christmas at The Laurels.

This was a lovely property in a beautiful location.

It was very comfortable and the owners had obviously put a lot of thought into all the home comforts. It was a perfect location for touring this area of Scotland.

A fantastic property, so cosy and welcoming.

Recently renovated, by the looks of it, and to a very high standard. Very well equipped and a few little surprises as well. The beds and the shower were amazing. We enjoyed a week at the laurels and were so relaxed. Waking up in the morning to the sight and sound of the sea was so mesmerising.

The cottage had everything you would need for a lovely stay.

The equipment in the kitchen was top notch. (Maybe a bigger cafetière). The lounge was comfortable and the recliners brilliant! The beds comfortable and showers to die for! Best bit of all though was being able to look out to sea. Fantastic place, will be back! I’m in love with Pennan and The Laurels

A first class property, well maintained in a beautiful location Thank you for a lovely holiday and battery recharge.

This cottage is absolutely beautiful, looks small from outside but an absolute gem of a place and huge inside.

Spotless inside and everything you would need for a lovely stay from tea, and coffee ,biscuits awaiting our stay to even clothes pegs for your washing, they thought of everything. Everything inside is brand new. The Pub is 5 doors away however we only went once as they ran out of lager and to be fair very clicky. Asda 4 miles away and far from civilisation , it does state places far away but I guess I’m used to local shops etc and should have read the description of actually where it was. If you like quiet then this is the place for you. Peterhead prison is a must for a visit ( 40 mins away approx ) a real good day and a lovely day trip. Thank you so much x

We have just recently spent a week at The Laurels and it was a fantastic week away which we hope to revisit soon!

The local scenery is beautiful with beaches, coves, cliffs and harbours perfect for crabbing. However, the holiday was made perfect due to the cottage being immaculate, comfortable, contained everything you might need and looking into the crashing waves of Pennan. We had a lovely meal at The Pennan Inn which we'd highly recommend and enjoyed a lovely cuppa and amazing cakes at the Coastal Cuppie by the harbour! We cannot recommend this place enough!

The Laurels is a fantastic property.

We have just spent a week in the house in beautiful Pennan. We were extremely lucky with the weather - beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The house is thoughtfully arranged and well equipped. The beds are comfortable. The bathroom and shower room have good quality fittings. The kitchen had everything we needed. We didn't come across a 'house book' with instructions etc - there was not a problem - just wasn't sure if we missed it. We visited the Highland Games in Dufftown (great by the way) we bought some folding chairs to take with us - we have left these for the house in the cupboard in the kitchen - thought they would be useful for those lovely sunny evenings, sitting in front of the house taking in the stunning views.

A very comfortable house done up to a very high standard in a charming wee village that you will not want to leave.

I would highly recommend staying here to anyone, clean, comfortable with everything you could want or need in a self catering property. My favourite part of the house is the wee path in the garden that leads up into the cliffs behind the cottage with a unique view of Pennan. A perfect base for anyone who wants to see what Aberdeenshire has to offer.

Lovely spacious cottage right on the shore of beautiful Pennan.

Gorgeous sunsets. The property has large comfy bed. Massive TV and best shower I’ve ever had. If I was to nit pick then the only thing I’d change is the two slice toaster to a four slice one! The property owner, Vicki, also sent a link to the cottage page where there was a wealth of information regarding the cottage and also recommended local places to go. Would 100% recommend this cottage to friends and family too.

We want to say thank you for a wonderful week at The Laurels.

It was the best cottage we've ever stayed in and would highly recommend staying here. It's beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. The bathrooms are brilliant, kitchen well stocked and the beds are so comfortable. We especially loved the fantastic garden that leads up into the cliffs behind the cottage. Pennan Harbour itself is a peaceful place to stay and we'd love to come back again in the future.
