I cannot thank Alister & Mo for the warm welcome we received after spending the new year at this little gem.Beautiful beaches at St Cyrus and would definitely recommend Lunan beach. Everything was well and fully equipped, enclosed gardens for the doggies, which was also the first time they had seen hens 😀Beautifully decorated for Christmas. I cannot praise this place enough, we are looking into booking for 2026 and for a longer stay.

Outstanding accommodation, with exceptional owners. We received a very warm welcome with a great selection of home made Xmas goodies, a great surprise.The accommodation exceeded our needs, everything provided for a comfortable stay.Local beach in St Cyrus was great, plenty of space for our dogs to let off steam. Another good beach near Montrose, equally as good.
