What our customers say about their holidays

• Peter - Verified booking

  The house was ideal for our family holiday with ourselves (grandparents) and three families (our children and their children), so 8 adults and six children in all.

  The location is good for the whole of NE Scotland, although the main road outside the property is used by fast traffic so has to be approached with care. There is plenty of space for sleeping, playing, working, chilling out and most importantly for simultaneous food preparation for fussy kids using the multiple sinks, fridges, dishwashers etc. The house was clean and well presented when we arrived. The grounds are lovely with space for games, barbequing, eating and exploring. The caretaker John was helpful and attentive. He was very friendly. There were some minor negatives we have already informed John about: The matresses are badly worn and need replacement. The timeswitch on the tumble dryer is broken - it didn't switch off. And small children have to be watched on the upper landings as the bannister rails are widely spaced. But thank you - we had a great holiday. Everyone loved it.

  The Laurels is a fantastic property.

  We have just spent a week in the house in beautiful Pennan. We were extremely lucky with the weather - beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The house is thoughtfully arranged and well equipped. The beds are comfortable. The bathroom and shower room have good quality fittings. The kitchen had everything we needed. We didn't come across a 'house book' with instructions etc - there was not a problem - just wasn't sure if we missed it. We visited the Highland Games in Dufftown (great by the way) we bought some folding chairs to take with us - we have left these for the house in the cupboard in the kitchen - thought they would be useful for those lovely sunny evenings, sitting in front of the house taking in the stunning views.

  This cottage is absolutely beautiful, looks small from outside but an absolute gem of a place and huge inside.

  Spotless inside and everything you would need for a lovely stay from tea, and coffee ,biscuits awaiting our stay to even clothes pegs for your washing, they thought of everything. Everything inside is brand new. The Pub is 5 doors away however we only went once as they ran out of lager and to be fair very clicky. Asda 4 miles away and far from civilisation , it does state places far away but I guess I’m used to local shops etc and should have read the description of actually where it was. If you like quiet then this is the place for you. Peterhead prison is a must for a visit ( 40 mins away approx ) a real good day and a lovely day trip. Thank you so much x

  We booked this property for our wedding weekend.

  We had 20 guests who all got their own bedrooms. We had our wedding in the Secret Garden outside -it was perfect. The kitchen was big enough to bring in caterers and the dining table was great for having our wedding meal together. We had dancing in the large room downstairs as well. It was even better than we remembered when we viewed it earlier in the year! We used the games room and the kids loved the cinema room! All the bedrooms were lovely. We spent a whole day outside on the front grass playing games. We hope to come back again! It was exactly what we wanted for our wedding. An amazing venue in a great location.

  Comfortable, well-presented, compact property, conveniently situated in Banff, with good parking and amenities nearby.

  We were pleased to meet the property owner, as he arrived just as we were leaving. We were able to flag up the small problems that we had within the property eg. the position of the microwave oven, and lack of mixing bowls for cooking or extra dishes to make the running of the dishwasher more ecologically sound. The main problem was the difficulty in accessing the keys in the key safe, although it did eventually open after a ten-minute struggle and a torn thumb-nail. That problem was solved on our leaving, with his timely arrival as, again, the key safe was giving trouble.
