They were very nice and explained everything perfectly. The property is one of the best we have ever been to. The only thing that I can comment on is the TV situation. It would be nice to have TV in the bedrooms and the smart TV in the living area. That didn't make any difference to out stay. It was perfect a beautiful property and we will definitely be back looking forward to our next visit.

Digital controlled underfloor hearing throughout the main floor is very efficient. Fantastic kitchen , loved the whizzy magnet control on Neff hob and I really liked the Qooker boiling tap…in fact I might now get one. I did not use the steam oven but looked intriguing. Lots of very comfortable seating, great electric recliners. Enjoyed the outdoor seating area too. Great parking space. Even washing machine if you needed it. Everything was lovely and hosts Dave and Yvonne greeted us with a guided tour of facilities. Thanks for the generous welcome gifts too. Just outside Portsoy we soon got to know our way along the coast in both directions and different excursions every day. A big house (sleeps 8) so for our party of 3 very roomy and super comfortable. A lovely week and we were very lucky with dry bright weather.

We booked as a family and found the house was perfect to come back to after a day of exploring. The property is very spacious and everything was to a high spec. the children enjoyed the forest fairy walk which was perfect for there age (3 years old). Unfortunately there was 2 storms during our week away but the fire made us always feel cosy. The hosts were fantastic and on hand if we needed them. Thankfully on speaking to them on departure they advised of road closures which would have effect our journey home. They saved us a big diversion and also pointed out a lovely place for lunch on our journey home.

They are so warm welcoming and nothing was too much. We absolutely loved staying at this stunning house, it has everything you could possibly want in a holiday house and more on top of that! The house is just a short stop away from Portsoy with some of the best ice cream were ever had. We went with the inlaws and our two little boys and the house suited all our ages giving the boys plenty of space to play but also downstairs bathroom and bedrooms for my inlaws who can't manage the stairs easily. Can't wait to get another chance to come back and stay here again with other family!

"The property was excellent and the owners couldn't have been more helpful."
The only thing which wasn't clear when booking was that the main upstairs bedroom was open to the stairs and then through to the kitchen and living area. There was no way of closing off the bedroom from the rest of the house and no means of separating the living and sleeping areas. This meant that, if someone was in bed upstairs, they had no real privacy from the rest of the house.

We were so looking forward to staying at this beautiful cottage and and we were certainly not disappointed. Dave and Yvonne, our hosts, have an eye for detail and comfort which made our stay luxurious. From the high end quality kitchen, to the spacious bathrooms and the restful beds the cottage is beautifully presented with everything that you could want for a perfect stay. The underfloor heating and the wood fire also made our stay very cosy indeed. There is a lovely grassed area in front of the cottage for children to run around and an outdoor barbecue and seating area for relaxing in fine weather. The location of the cottage in a quiet rural setting was excellent, allowing us to visit many coastal villages, castles and points of interest as well as being within driving distance of Aviemore and the Cairngorms National Park with its spectacular scenery. We would highly recommend this cottage as a high end luxurious stay and we would love to stay here again.
