11 Village

Beautiful property, and a great location.

Dirty pots.

dirty oven left for us to clean. no egg cups. front door falling apart so would not use. Kichen smelled like a mouse nest near the oven and fridge. Bathroom floor kept flooding due to overspill of shower. Nowhere to put clothes in main bedroom. Dull lighting over table. Uncomfortable arm chairs. No rugs underfoot.

Fantastic location and very clean and comfortable-Would benefit from a parking space as the harbour gets very busy with parked cars at times.

had a wonderful stay and would book again.

Lovely cottage, really nicely presented, very cosy and warm.

Had everything we needed and great location next to the harbour.

We’ve had a lovely week at No11 It’s a lovely old cottage in a beautiful location ,yes the cottage is old but where it is makes up for that , like staying in a bit off history, the pictures don’t do it justice as the owners have improved some of the previous complaints (they need to update the pictures on the website) so don’t let them put you off we will definitely be going back.

It was lovely having a beach on your doorstep to walk every day xx

We really enjoyed our stay in the cottage, great location right on the harbour, comfortable beds, really peaceful and just what we were looking for

Our third stay at this idyllic cottage We love everything from the quiet location, the amazing beach, the quaint characteristics such as the doors upstairs, beautiful wood, etc and the relaxing ambiance throughout.

Thank you - we hope to be back!

Lovely cottage in a fantastic location.

We really enjoyed our stay at 11 The Village. The cottage is located on the harbour front at Sandend and is such a peaceful spot. The cottage is well equipped with everything you need. The best part of the stay was waking up in the morning and seeing the dolphins out in the sea. We will definitely go back.

Very disappointed with many aspects.

Front door is warped allowing cold air to penetrate sitting area.Heating provided is inadequate and no not water resulting in cold showers.Faulty tap on kitchen sink. Oven door is faulty and needs attention. Broken bed in twin room which was notified in October.Windows are also very drafty adding to overall chill.We had to pin a blanket to the door to stop chill. Settee under stretch cover is very badly stained. All these negatives detract from what should have been a nice stay.Also no cleaning materials to allow for day to day cleaning or before departure. Broken bed on twin room which was notified in October

Absolutely loved our stay at No 11.

The house is traditionally quirky, yet comfortably modern and you just can't beat the location. Kids and dog were in heaven being so close to the sea and such a wonderful beach. Will definitely be back!

Lovely cottage which was very comfortable.

Parking is a bit of a problem at the weekend but much easier to find a space during the week. Such a delight to walk straight out on to the beach. During the warmer days the property could benefit from a fan.

Good value for money, excellent location, heated floor superb on a cold week.

Hi this is johann I stayed at ur cottage it was lovely how ever I left my laptop there good u get back to me pz 07927950585 thank you .

Perfect setting next to the harbour, fabulous views.

Peaceful in March. The cottage had everything we needed and was comfortable and cosy. Wood burning stove was great. Local supplies and resources at Portsoy and Cullen. Banff great for shopping too. Enjoyed Sandend beach as well as the beaches at Banff and Cullen. A perfect break! Katie

Overall the place is a good standard.

Probably needs painted again as there were a few marks on the walls. Door in the utility room rubbing on the floor. Door into twin bedroom bottom hinge needs re-secured and door planed at bottom to stop it catching on the carpet. Oven door hinges need to be tightened as the door is dropping and is very difficult to close. The lack of plastic or silicone utensils for use with the non-stick pans was fairly annoying.

Effective modernisation and Immaculate presentation sensible size wine glasses would be welcome

A lovely place to stay and visit the Moray coast.

We were just off-season so the village was quiet. It was fab to put the wood burner on as the storm raged outside. The cottage is clearly loved and we felt very relaxed.

Lovely cottage.

Beautiful views in a beautiful location. Cottage clean and tidy. Very dog friendly

The property has a thoughtful interior design and very well equipped.

And in a great location by the Sandend harbour. Couple of practical suggestions. I would agree with previous guests in the visitors' book. The wood burning stove probably needs a service. And larger-sized towels would be good. Overall, however, a charming cottage in a charming location. And highly recommended.

Beautiful cottage Beautiful location Absolutely perfect

We had a great, relaxing week.

Lovely cottage in an ideal setting. Plenty opportunity for coastal walks with stunning views and fishing villages to explore. Would definitely visit again and recommend.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful part of the world.

Excellent views overlooking the harbour and the weather was perfect. Great beach area for surfing and paddleboarding, and dog walks. The cottage has everything you need but one downfall was the sofa it was not comfortable at all even with it pulled out. Apart from that was an excellent holiday

A perfect cottage for a perfect week.

So comfortable, the key to the sofa is to extend out the trundle bed … amazingly comfy for relaxing evenings. We didn’t go any further than Portsoy as everything we needed for a fun, relaxing time was there. Neighbours super friendly too. Looking forward to our next visit. Thank you x

Just back after 3 nights at the cottage and what can I say but WOW!

Sandend was exactly what the doctor ordered and the batteries are fully recharged. The views are literally jaw dropping, I think I spent more time sitting outside the cottage looking at them than sitting in the cottage. The cottage was as described and provided everything we needed, in fact the photos on the website and description probably do not do it justice as it was spotless and there are no bannisters on the stairs. We shall be booking again in the near future, rate it that highly but as always, some constructive feedback... Be aware the bins are round the side of the house, don't just place your black bins out on a Monday, use the proper bins. The sofa is most definitely not very comfortable. The smart TV can be a bit laggy, just switching it off and on again with the remote sorts it out. We didn't get any logs for the burner, just kindling but can get them at the other village garges.

When I opened a kitchen cupboard door to get a pan the door fell off the top hinge.

Perhaps no-one reported this before. It didn’t cause me a problem once I realised what was wrong. Then I picked up a soup ladle from the drawer and it fell apart. There was a china teacup in a cupboard which had been put away heavily stained. I tend to agree with other feedback that the lounge area seating is not particularly comfortable except for short periods. The location of the property tends to outweigh any negatives about the furnishings and equipment. For a cottage it was very light and being able to look out to sea was a joy. Local people I met in the other properties were very friendly. A memorable stay for the wonderful location.

Amazing stay in the beautiful little cottage.

We absolutely loved it. Only comments are the bed and sofa could be a little more comfy.

Fantastic little cottage, thank you for taking us at such short notice.

Wonderful location, with everything we needed. Had a great relaxing break. Highly recommend, and as previous reviewer said, the stairs are fully balustraded! Sorry we didn’t have a pen to write in your visitor book.

What a lovely cottage, in such a beautiful setting.

Really well equipped, very clean, and everything has been thought of. Right by the little harbour and adjacent beach in an idyllic location. We were a little apprehensive about the staircase having no handrail, because that's how it appeared in the photographs online, but actually there are banisters so it is perfectly safe. The only thing we felt lacking was a proper door to cover the shower - we just needed to keep drying out the floor towel.

Perfect location right next to the sea in a lovely village.

Very relaxing holiday and was a perfect base to get away from it all.

The location of the cottage was excellent.

It was a very comfortable cottage with everything we needed. We had an amazing week.

Poor level of cleaning, for example dried food on cutlery and dried on rings of milk in fridge, note saying shower leaks and to ensure bathmat is put down to catch the water that escapes when showering.

The bathmat was saturated for the duration of our stay as the volume of water escaping is excessive. The listing states there is central heating, this central heating, is in the main, plug in portable oil heaters, these were in my opinion inadequate when cold weather. There is only one mirror in the whole cottage, being a bathroom mirror, for such a highly rated cottage there should be at least one mirror upstairs plus there was no where to hang any clothing up in the main bedroom. Main lounge furniture was a sofa bed unit which wasn’t very comfortable for 4 staying. Only 3 glasses unless you use wine glasses. In its favour the cottage is in a perfect location with stunning views from most windows. The owners should make more of this in their listing.

NO 11was a lovely cottage clean and tidy, lovely log burner, the cottage was situated at a lovely harbour and at the other end of the village was a lovely beach, it was a lovely place for our dog, surrounding area was beautiful, will definitely be back.

The lounge furniture needs improving.

At present it’s a divan bed. A sofa and small armchair would be a big improvement. My wife says a mirror upstairs would also be appreciated.
