  • "Great location, fantastic views over the sea."

    We stayed in November and found the flat to very warm and cozy. The decor was very fresh and the flat spotlessly clean, comfortable sofa and bed, and well equipped kitchen. Teresa and Alan were great hosts, and we would definitely like to return in the future.

    The apartment was very clean, cosy and comfortable. Great bed and shower with plenty of hot water. The view of the sea from here is fabulous. We even saw dolphins swim by. Lovely welcome pack and a delicious cake baked by Teresa. Hosts were very helpful and we could easily get in touch if necessary. Great walks from door of the apartment and plenty of super places to visit in area. Thank you for an amazing holiday.

    The apartment was clean and tidy. The views were outstanding, we were lucky to catch a glimpse of the dolphins. There were treats and thoughtful essentials left by Teresa after a long travel which made settling in really easy. She was on call for any questions we had or recommendations. We were all sad to leave and hope to be back in the future.

    It is an apartment with no room for a dishwasher (not an issue for us) and two flights of stairs to reach (the listing does say it's on the second floor) and a couple of additional cooking implements would have been welcome (no fish slice and the carving knife was broken) but these are minor quibbles in a great apartment

    Easy walkways down into the main centre of Banff which caters for all your needs, even takeaways. Or the opposite direction to Whitehills which is more scenic, past caravan parks, more rural no town centre, apart from couple of pubs, smalls shops, fish restaurant. Property caters for all your needs, but may struggle if elderly, or health issues, as there's is a few steep steps up the flat. Otherwise completly perfect & well recommended.

    .. didn't want to leave after a wonderful week at Waters Edge. Hosts were very nice and gave the most generous of welcome gifts (delicious cake Teresa, thank you). Loved Banff and the locals were really friendly especially in The Railway Inn & The Market Arms. The weather was mixed which was great as we had the rough sea crashing on the rocks when we got there over the wkend and on other days gorgeous sunsets, all watched from the comfort of the Appt. Lots to see and do in Banff and surrounding area. Didn't want to leave and almost couldn't on the last day due to a flat battery of all things haha ... didn't need to call the AA as the owner Alan was able to assist with his jump leads (big thanks Alan for your help). Could have quite easily stayed for longer and will definitely return. We had a fabulous holiday at 24 Waters Edge. Many thanks, Keith & Lynne

    So very pleasant and helpful! They really want you to have a great experience when staying in their flat. The flat is just beautiful, clean and modern and what a view! Remember to bring binoculars as we found them so useful with the wide expanse of the Moray Firth from the 3 windows. We weren't lucky enough to see any dolphins but various people who have stayed in the flat wrote in the Visitor's book that they did see them. There is a Tesco store about 15 minutes walk from the flat and also a shop called The Spotty Bag shop which sells almost anything you might be needing on your holiday. They also have a nice restaurant upstairs where you can have a meal or just pop in for coffee etc. Low Street and High Street are just up from Tesco but we were very disappointed with the lack of good shops there but if you drive to Turriff (approx 20 mins or half an hour on the Aberdeen bus) it has a lot of small shops to have a browse around and also a small department store called Celebrations who also have a good restaurant. The beds are very comfortable and there is plenty of hanging space in the built-in wardrobes. Good quality bedding, towels, crockery etc. The bathroom is just beautiful and the shower is wonderful. Makes me want to buy a new shower head now!! Our hosts have been very thoughtful in providing some useful items to start off with eg bread, milk, butter, tea, coffee, sugar etc which was excellent. They also provided plenty of lovely toiletries. Teresa also baked a gorgeous sponge cake for us and her baking is beautiful. So very kind! Ourselves and some visiting family members really enjoyed the cake and they commented that their sponges don't rise as well as Teresa's so that was a good compliment for her. We had a really enjoyable and relaxing week. It was also very quiet. Very many thanks to Alan and Teresa for being so helpful to us and for providing such a well equipped and beautiful flat for their guests. I'm sure anyone staying here will want to stay again in the future. We were sad to leave but all good things come to an end! Thank you both! Eileen & family

It was great to be able to watch seashore life from the window or watch the sun set. The only thing to remember is that it is a top floor flat so two flights of stairs have to be negotiated. Also, while it was excellent for myself and my wife, I could see that it might seem a little claustrophobic for four on a wet day due to its compact modern style.
