Guests say
Jebel is a charming and quirky cottage in Buckie, ideally located just minutes from the beach and local amenities. Guests appreciated its spaciousness, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable atmosphere, making it great value for money. While the property could benefit from some TLC, including updates to beds, mattresses, and general décor, most found their stay enjoyable. Some minor maintenance and cleaning issues were noted, but the cottage’s unique character and excellent location stood out as highlights.
Several guests mentioned areas needing improvement, such as the kitchen floor, microwave, and shower, as well as a lack of cleaning supplies. Towels were left in the tumble dryer on arrival. Overall, cleanliness was acceptable but could be improved.
The location was consistently praised, with guests highlighting its proximity to the beach, golf course, and local amenities. The setting was described as quiet and ideal for walks.
Guests found the cottage comfortable overall, but noted that the single beds and mattresses were overdue for replacement and that bedding was worn. The living space was otherwise described as spacious and cosy.
The cottage was generally well-equipped, but lacked a freezer and proper oven. Some maintenance issues were noted, such as leaks, worn décor, and a TV awaiting proper installation. The electric fire in front of the open fireplace was a disappointment for some.
There were no mentions of welcome gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

It was a lovely cottage in a great location came with all the stuff for cooking and very comfortable great value for money and 2 minutes from the Beach, only downside was just needs some TLC and and a few touch ups lack of cleaning supplies for you to clean and on one the evening we had very bad weather rain so heavy that rain was coming through the extractor fan and we had a good half a bowl in the morning of water. We tried to call the number in the book but no one got back to us in 48 hours before we left we also never had any contact with the owner of the property at any point but my biggest issue was that they had put a electric fire in front of the open fire place which was one f the reasons for booking the cottage

There is no freezer or proper oven in the kitchen. Nowhere to hang out any washing. White goods that are there are good. The main microwave was pretty dirty when I arrived. I felt the kitchen floor could do with a proper clean.There were repairs needing done in the main bedroom to the drawers. The TV was good.There was distinct lack of cleaning agents and cleaning equipment. There was plenty of hot water and heating.Towels were in the tumble dryer when I arrived.A mixed bag.
