  Dolphin Cottage is lovely, well placed, immaculately clean.

  Everything you need is there for you to enjoy your stay. We didnt find we were missing anything we needed. The owners had left things we didnt expect to find, especially with the toiletries. They left us milk and tea and coffee facilities for our arrival, also a starter pack for the log fire. We arrived to a power cut and they were able to advise us on when the power might be restored. They left a folder of hints and tips and all the manuals needed for the appliances. They deserve to be popular with guests. Lovely cottage and fab hosts. It took us 9 hours to get to Banff but we would happily book again. The cottage is dog friendly and they provide throws for the furniture. We will recommend them to anyone we know who might want to travel to that area. One tip if you are hoping to see the northern lights, ask the locals for advice on your first night. We found out that the lights had appeared on at least 3 nights of our stay but despite looking out of the windows we didnt see them, maybe we should have looked out of the back door not the front as we saw more stars in the sky at the back. All in all a lovely week in Banff and the surrounding area with a lovely cottage to go home to each evening

  We had a lovely holiday at Fisherman’s Cottage.

  The cottage has a lovely layout with 3 large bedrooms and large bathroom. The kitchen is small but had all the appliances and utensils we required. It is really well thought out and equipped. There was even cupboard space to put food away etc and a full size dishwasher and washing machine. I was really pleasantly surprised with the kitchen. The whole cottage has a lovely layout and modern feel. The beds were very comfy and the shower is very good and powerful. The cottage was clean and well presented. The hot tub was a bonus! And a good sized garden with garden furniture. It is so close to the sea which was amazing. We enjoyed many walks along the quiet, beautiful beaches watching the seals. In the village there is a local shop, which is handy. There is also an ice cream shop and Chinese takeaway which we tried and can highly recommend. There are large supermarkets and other amenities close in Fraserburgh. If you are looking to explore this area in Scotland this is the perfect place to stay!

  We really enjoyed the stay.

  With 6 of us the small capacity for hot water was a bit of a nuisance but we just had to work around it. We were glad of the information in the folder about this and we just adjusted when we had showers. One of our party fell quite badly on the stairs as they are very slippy as well as being small with the age of the property. Maybe a hand rail at the bottom on both sides would help. Otherwise, we noticed there isn’t much privacy when using the bathroom with people in the kitchen. Perhaps an alternative door would create a sound barrier there. We would like to have been able to open ground floor windows for air flow but there were no window keys which we presumed was for security. The battery on the Velux controller in the kitchen ran out twice. We had our own compatible charger but others may not. If the window was left open when the battery went that could be problematic. Overall we thought the cottage was lovely and the design made the most of the space. We would definitely recommend it and visit again.

  We had a great break staying at The Bothy.

  It is a lovely little house in a beautiful location and the owners Neil & Irene provided all the modern amenities you might need. The Bathroom is modern, clean and fully fitted with bath and shower over the bath. One thing to note is the bathroom is on the ground floor and the bedrooms are on the 1st floor just in case this may be an issue for anyone. There is a nice little area around the house with a secluded bench seat and table, a small decked patio area at the front of the house and a nice little balcony on the main bedroom. The surrounding area is really beautiful, we travelled with our dog and he loved the long morning and evening walks along the stunning coastline cliffs and hillsides. The house is nice and secluded and peaceful with no noisy neighbours only Neil & Irene the owners who live in the neighbouring Steadings house. They are friendly and helpful but never intrude upon your visit in any way.

  Enjoyed my stay.

  Cottage cosy after being out all day. Loved watching the waves and sunsetting. I have marked this down as the sofa and one of the chairs are awful to sit on and need replacing. Something has happened to one half of the sofa and it is completely done and uneven to sit on. I almost caused myself an injury sitting on middle of sofa and ended up on very hard section. Hard to describe but all you feel is hard, almost broken sections when trying to get comfy. Also rug at fire is a hazard and we removed it for our stay as one end completely curled up and an accident waiting to happen. May I also point out that why assume if booking for 3 people that the double bed and single will be sufficient. I booked this as there were 3 beds and luckily i had some bedding with me otherwise I would have had to buy some. Like I said enjoyed my stay but have marked down comfort and facilities for the points mentioned.
