Schoolhill Croft

Great property with a very well equipped kitchen with virtually everything you need for a week away.

Plenty of parking. Good communication with the owner Gary. I would highly recommend. 5*

This delightful house was well equipped and cleanliness throughout was excellent.

The huge outdoor space is perfect for children of all ages to be given freedom to play and run about safely. Plenty space indoors for all members of the family and room to have separate spaces should you wish. Parking is not a problem as it is more than adequate for all vehicles.

Lovely property but very close to the main road which was noisy.

Some items listed in the description were missing. Instructions for the cooker were for an earlier gas hob rather than the electric now installed. We found that some of the kitchen items were not cleaned properly. Small things but could easily be remedied.

Lovely house, very spacious, all modern amenities.

Amazing beaches around and good for bird nature reserves. Must visit are Newburgh beach to see the seals, Collieston beach is small and quiet so had to ourselves, and Cruden Bay Harbour has a small nice cafe.

The house was a lovely big house with a big field at the back we spent a lot of time there with the kites the boys aged 7 & 10 loved it.

The house was huge and very user friendly, great if you have family that might struggle with stairs the 2 lounges are great for families with kids, maybe if you have younger kids take your own DVDs the games room got used quite a bit, Gary the owner was very friendly. There is a beach about a mile away that the kids loved but the beach at Peterhead was stunning. and the chip shop in Ellon was good a little pricey but tasty we had a lovely relaxed stay.

A great property for our family holiday.

Lots of indoor and outdoor space. Well equipped and maintained and property owner was friendly and very helpful. Would love to return.

Lovely property, very clean and very well equipped.

Well done Gary a credit to you!

Fantastic property in a beautiful location.

The cottage was very clean bright and spacious with everything you needed in a home from home. The owner was very friendly and extremely helpful. I would love to come back and would definitely recommend to others.

Schoolhill Croft is fabulous property!

It's clean, warm, spacious, comfy and very well equipped. It has extensive outside space and is in a beautiful location. There are lots of interesting places nearby to visit. The property owner is friendly and helpful. We hope to return for another holiday soon!

Schoolhill Croft was a success from the start.

The house was very clean and comfortable. Having so many living spaces was ideal for our group of 8 aged 18yrs to 72yrs it meant we could come together and also have our own spaces too. The kitchen is very well equipped and we lacked nothing. The outdoor space is exceptional with such a huge garden- lots of badminton and football played! The expansive vista to experience awe inspiring sunsets and moonrises and watch and hear the flocks of birds from the estuary are a memory we will never forget. Gary was very responsive to any requests and a great host. Schoolhill is Highly recommended.

Schoolhill Croft was the perfect house in the perfect location,lots to do around the location and easy drives to the cairngorms and balmoral(lots of walks to do).

The house was very comfy and well maintained and Gary was the perfect host and easily contactable if needed.There was everything that you could need at the house,there was even a pool table ,which became our regular evening entertainment.I would recommend a stay here ,it’s like a home away from home.

Excellent owner, lovely property, super garden, location for beaches etc brilliant.

Property was lovley, spacious, views are fabulas Gary was on hand if we needed anything Maybe to get a hottub that would be great a nice little feature The whole week was beautiful and would recommend this property to anyone

Beautiful very well kept house with fabulous views

Had a great stay at this cottage,has a real home from home feel.

Great property in a beautiful location.Will definitely book again.

Our group of 10 have just had a great week at the cottage.

Spacious and very homely and comfortable. Beautiful setting and hope to return soon.

This is a great property for a large family, however as a couple it was still cosy and a great base for exploring the area.

Fantastic Cottage.

Very well presented and lots of space. Kids loved the games room and the garden.

We were three generations and three households gathering for Christmas.

The house ticked ALL our boxes - multiple areas to hang out [not all on top of each other], ground floor for elderly parents, three full bathrooms. Kitchen was well equipped. Host was really responsive and helpful when storm Gerret took the electricity down. We were greeted with lovely Christmas trees too. The area is rural BUT only 10 mins drive to Ellon and short drive to Ythan, Slain Castle or or Bullers of Buchan (beautiful coast line). Benachie is worth a slightly longer drive for a fabulous hike. We had a wonderful winter break. Will be awesome in other seasons. Thank you Gaz !!

Amazing property.

there was so much space for my little one to run around both inside and outside of the property and as there was so much space it meant we could all have our own spaces to relax in the evenings if needed. Gary the owner was lovely and very helpful and insightful. A wonderful place to stay for bird watching and coastal walks. The pool table was an added bonus :)

Schoolhill Croft was the perfect place for our family holiday, we all loved the comfort , cleanliness and spaciousness of this beautiful house.

So good to have two sitting rooms and a games room, everyone could have their own space. It was the ideal base for all of our activities, there were lots of things to do with our nearly two year old grandson - a farm visit, seal watching, Haddo country park , Aberdeen Science Centre were all within a reasonable distance-and lots more. We would love to return soon!

Beautiful home.

We had our 91 year old mother with us and she had no problems whatever. Superb

A beautiful house, in a stunning location, perfect for a family stay!

The owners were lovely too!

Beautiful large property that is ideal for large group.

Two separate lounges and bedrooms on ground and upper floors so very good for not getting under each others feet. Huge grassed garden for kids to play that is gated from the main road. Great views from the outside decking. I would highly recommend staying here.

A fabulous, very spacious and comfortable house.

5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, a bonus for our family holiday. Teenagers loved the huge TV and games room with pool table, and novelty of American fridge/freezer! Enormous garden for outdoor activities. Delightful!

What a wonderful house the owner was helpful and kind and available if needed.

The interior is of a high standard and the grounds are well kept. All in. All a great location and home. Thank you

Beautiful property and well looked after, pictures don’t do it justice.

House very clean and well equipped. Gary the owner very helpful, and friendly he even made us a ramp so my mum could access the decking area. Would highly recommend this property.

This is the second time we have stayed, and we loved it just as much this time round.

The rooms are well furnished with beautiful views from any of the many windows you can look out from. Personally I love the kitchen it is magnificent with a great family dining area and sufficient equipment and appliances to cook up something great, the only thing I could suggest would be a few baking trays rather than the deep dish trays and maybe a pizza tray. We had 4 adults and 4 kids from 6 - 14 and they enjoyed the massive garden and games room. A little something outdoors for the kids would be a great addition. Would definitely recommend this property, it is a spectacular house and the towns around are picturesque.

Excellent accommodation.

Already discussing rebooking!

One of the best places we ever stayed.

The hosts were quite friendly as well.

Beautiful property, very clean and warm.

Great place to spend time with extended family. We had a lovely time.

Amazing home, so clean and had every we could need and more.

Helpful host and hopefully we will be back again! Everything was immaculate we can't Thankyou enough!

Just a really good stay, we were very impressed with the size and spaciousness of the property and all the rooms - the public photos really don't do it justice.

Gary was straightforward, helpful and considerate in all matters start to finish, including at the end when we'd left a couple of items behind.

Great property comfy beds great showers amazing surroundings, plenty parking.

Will definitely come back

Schoolhill croft is a fantastic place to stay .

Everything you could possibly need.would definitely stay again.

Excellent property, clean and well equipped.

Great location and views. A great holiday was had by all!

Absolutely loved this property.

Fantastic place to stay .I never got to meet the owner Gary due to covic . but was just at the end of a phone.I will definitely be going back to this property even though this is for 10 people I will be going back with my husband again just. the 2 of us.that how much I love this property.

Wonderful house in peaceful surroundings, owner friendly and helpful.

Good base for exploring Aberdeenshire.

Cottage ideally situated for travel to places of interest in any direction- the Cairngorms, the beaches of the north coast, the city of Aberdeen itself, etc.

The accommodation was first class.

Very clean and had all the facilities we needed. Would absolutely recommend.

This was a wonderful house and we spent a great week there in July.

It’s lovely and spacious and the addition of the games room is great for kids. The garden is lovely and big and we all had a lovely holiday.

Everything was exactly as we have come to expect from a Sykes Cottage we will be booking next years some time soon.

This stay was not actually a holiday.

Our company was exhibiting at SPE Offshore Europe event at the new TECA exhibition centre in Aberdeen and we decided to book the cottage for myself and 3 colleagues rather than stay in a hotel. We could not fault the facilities and comfort of the cottage and I would love to return with my family for a proper holiday in the area.

Schoolhill Croft is the best property that we have ever stayed in.

The property has a four star rating, however, in our opinion it deserves five! The property is spacious and easily accommodated the 7 adults and 3 children in our party. The property is spotlessly clean and a real home from home. The owner is really helpful. We highly recommend this property.

Might be worth pointing out total lack of eating out places within reasonable range!

A fantastic property in great location for exploring local beaches, castles and coves.

The house itself was furnished to a high standard. Games room and second lounge is a bonus and a lovely place to unwind after a long day. The owner is very helpful and thoughtful touches like a book explaining how all the machines work, even though he does explain it all on the walk through when you arrive, also the bottle of fizz for the adults and milk for the children was greatly appreciated.

Booking online through Sykes from U.

S.A. was great. Having a seven hour time difference we didn't have to worry about business hours etc.. Any and all questions were promptly and courteously answered via email. This house was awesome. Everything advertised is true. We (5 adults) really enjoyed our time here. Too many positives to list! You just have to come see for yourself!

This is a first class property, excellent in every respect.

Beautifully designed, well equipped, clean and comfortable; a real treat!

Absolutely stunnig propperty and the views aren’t half bad either Arrived a little early on the saturday only for the owner Gary to be waiting for us at the front door Very warm and friendly greeting from Gary Gave us a quick tour of the place and then left us too it Cannot fault the propperty in anyway We will be back Thanks again Gary

This house was top notch for space comfort and was extremely well equipped - it had everything needed for a relaxing stay.

The surrounding area had great coastal walks and fishing, a Parkrun in nearby Ellon as well as Brewdog brewery. What's not to like. Even the teenagers were impressed which really says it all.
