  Stonehaven is my home town, I grew up there.

  Sharon the owner makes for a good host, she values feedback and we found her very helpful. Beautiful cottage within former Steading quadrangle, surrounded on all sides by wide lawn perimeter then mixed woodland. Property well located for A90 access. Stonehaven itself is close by and affords a wide range of amenities including a Sea water outdoor swimming pool (Summer) the town also boasts a stunning natural harbour with two very good pubs both of which offer carefully and attractively presented meals, both also offer Real Ales. If you wish to relax and enjoy a few drinks with your meal then the local Taxi service is both efficient and friendly fare circa £5.60 each way. You may wish to visit the Internationally renowned and multi award winning Fish & Chip shop called "The Bay" which is owned by someone I have known since I was a boy, the Owner Calum is IMO a credit to Stonehaven and I am proud to call him my friend. Additionally an excellent Indian restaurant (near the town Square) Cafe's and further takeaways. For grocery shopping there is a good sized and well stocked Co-Op in town, a large Asda in Portlethen and a Sainsbury's and a further Asda at the Bridge of Dee in Aberdeen. All easily accessible. Banchory on Royal Deeside is approximately 30 minutes drive away and close by this you'll find Crathes Castle both well worth a visit. My home town would be a great place to base your holiday in North East Scotland and this lovely cottage will comfortably accommodate a family of five or five adults.

  The only reason I wouldn't book this cottage again is that it is so far for us to travel.

  The location is stunning and everybody is really friendly. However there are really very few places you can go in if you have dogs. There is only one pub in Findochty which only allows dogs in the public bar not the lounge where the large dining area is so if you want to eat there you either have to sit outside which is fine if the weather is good or they have one small table in the bar which is also quite a small space dominated by a pool table, the views from the outside seating are amazing though. The most dog friendly place we found locally was Portsoy where there is a small cafe where dogs are allowed both inside and outside., and in the marble shop in the 17th century harbour.

  Very modern in decoration with almost everything needed, a dishwasher would have been good to have.

  The was as all adults staying, is the beds the double/bunk is a nightmare. Twin beds would be better and also an option of main room a zip and link beds would give more opportunities for all adult bookings. Other than that the apartment met our needs, the location was fantastic. The only issues were the main door and front door not the easiest to open, the smell in ground floor landing is horrendous and would have been nice to have information on what is in the locality. Welcome basket a nice touch but a small milk added to this would be good considering tea and coffee was included. We did have an issue with the bathroom tap that was fixed exceptionally quickly.

  The house is huge, we didn't use the dining room or second lounge area.

  The beds were comfortable and the house in general was very clean. The house had everything we needed except some oven trays and sharp knives. The outside area was great for the dogs and a great suntrap on the nicer days we had. There's a grassed area literally a minute from the house leading upto a war memorial and amazing views over Findochty pronounced Finechty by the locals. A great base to get to Buckie, Portknockie and Cullen. A lovely house overall but just needs a little updating in places, other than that it's in a great location.

  Berry Byre is a fantastic cottage to stay in, it’s beautifully decorated to a very high standard throughout, kitchen utensils are excellent quality and the welcome pack was wonderful too. It’s a great location for at least 3 of the nearby 7Stanes mountain bike tracks with brilliant secure parking as well. We had a brilliant time and will definitely be back. Mary was extremely helpful and I was confident she’d be very willing to help had we needed anything during our stay, thank you for a great few days.
