We love this cottage and have now been here three times. It is very quiet and in a lovely location. Our dog is very happy every time he goes. The house is well appointed and clean and the welcome pack and home baking is an added bonus.

We had a really lovely stay at The Annexe, with comprehensive information sent before our arrival and a warm welcome from Mo when we arrived. The cottage was warm, cosy, clean and very well appointed. There were some very thoughtful touches waiting for us (homemade baked goods, drinks in the fridge and even treats for our dogs), these were greatly appreciated. The views across to St Cyrus are stunning. We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend.
