"Fantastic cottage providing everything you need for your break."
Doggy towels and throws for the sofa ensure your pet also has a home from home stay. Would definitely stay again

"Lovely place to stay."
Spotless and very comfortable. Had everything we needed and more. The little extras such as dog towels, throws and lots more made it exceptional for us. Beautiful area right on the coast.

"Loved the cottage, Compliments to the housekeeper it was spotless, everything you need in the kitchen to cook yourself, the local fishmonger on the harbour not to be missed, straight from the boat to the shop, try their Cullen skink fabulous."
Local shop is brilliant and has everything you could need, local pub 2 mins from shop very friendly and they do food. The cottage is warm, the mattress is sooo good (never commented on mattress before) slept really well it is so quiet at night. Long walk down to Banff along the coast path really good did miles every day and there is a lovely beach. As an intro to the n. east coast of Scotland I love it will be back❤️

"The cottage was lovely."
The beds were extremely comfortable. It had everything we needed for our family holiday and was in a great location for lots of exploring! Lots of coastal walks, harbors, fresh air and ice-cream to be had. Our son particularly enjoyed the local park with a fantastic play fishing boat. We would recommend it at as great base for a family holiday.

"What a lovely cottage and beautifully furnished."
The view from the window overlooking the sea was mesmerising and the sunsets stunning. This is such a comfortable place to stay. It was warm and cosy. We wanted for nothing. The local residents were smiley and friendly and there is a pottery in the village which is very special. This is a place to relax and forget about the stresses of life. Having a 9am check out was a bit of a rush but we would love to stay here again. Thank you.

"Great cotttage in beautiful village"

"Very comfortable stay again at 28 Low Shore."
Could do with a grab rail for getting out the bath and another to ensure safety in the shower. The bathroom ventilator needs cleaning as it was not working effectively. Pleased that folding chairs and a table was provided for sitting out.
-
"Beautiful cottage with all home comforts and a view over the sea from the lounge and bedroom window."
Lovely quiet location with couple of minutes walk to the marina. Only small drawback no mirrors in rooms, only mirror available was on bathroom cabinet so awkward for drying hair (3 females on holiday!!) and husband found it awkward for shaving as cabinet wasn't near the sink.
-
"Had a great holiday at 28 Low Shore and would definitely return some day."
-
"Fantastic cottage equipped with everything you could possibly need , comfortable beds,peace and quiet,amazing view from the lounge window."
-
"A nicely appointed cottage in a surprisingly quiet location (hardly anyone about, little traffic, plentiful public parking etc) with a nice outlook to the sea."
Less than a minute to be at the water’s edge and a nice walk along the coast towards Banff. Circa 15 minute walk around coast to a very well equipped playground and sandy beach if you’re with children. Village is quiet and has a pub doing interesting local meals, a useful little shop for all your immediate needs and a nice fish and chip cafe with takeaway. Staying mid-May the light is still with you towards 10pm and some interesting bird life can often be seen around and about. I would happily recommend staying here for a peaceful and stress-free experience if that’s what you are looking for. David

"Just returned from this lovely cottage on the Low Shore with the sea right on your doorstep Cant praise the facilities and location enough well worth a visit We struck it lucky with the weather from day 1, with sunny days all the way which meant that all the walks especially the Banff Links were a delight to do with the dogs Accommodation is lovely, caters for everything and best of all is very close to the Seafield Arms were the Locals are really friendly and cant do enough for you and the dogs Did we all have a great time."
...... yes... would I go back.... most definitely

"Excellent cottage, super clean and really appreciated the simple furnishings, added a real sense of calm and relaxation."
-
"We had a great week away."
The area is so peaceful it was the perfect escape. Really well equipped kitchen. Really clean property. My daughter and I struggled a bit though as the mattresses were memory foam...for many this is great...for us it just meant we were too warm and not firm enough. Three bedrooms is great but worth noting the third bedroom is very small and has the slope of the roof over your head. Owner is great and communicated really well...thank you!!

The property enjoys a well-presented interior with flashes of modernity and colour, making it the perfect escape for families seeking an action-packed break from it all.
Enter this welcoming stone cottage and on your right sits the alluring sitting room, brought to life by vibrant seating and artwork, offering a TV and electric fire for your evening entertainment.
The budding chef of the group can use the slick, modern fixtures and fittings in the kitchen to cook up a storm for the family, to be enjoyed in the well-presented dining room down the corridor.
The ground floor is complete with a brightly tiled family bathroom, giving you the option of a bath or shower over to freshen up each morning.
Discover three immaculate bedrooms on the first floor, offering a range of setups to welcome groups of all kinds.
Sumptuous furniture and warming colour schemes help to create the perfect spot to catch your rest after each fun-filled day.

A wider range of amenities can be found just a few miles along the coast in Banff, or perhaps head to Portsoy in the other direction.
The Speyside Whisky Trail is within simple reach, being one of Scotland's most popular attractions, it is certainly worth a day out!
