  We had a very helpful email from the owners the day before we arrived which was very informative and welcome.

  Although we had an enjoyable week at the Doocot and its proximity to to the beach is fantastic - there are some things that need to be addressed for the comfort of future visitors. With a weekly rental of £1k we would have expected a little more and doesn’t stand comparison with the more expensive property we stayed in the week before in the Cairngorms. More wine glasses required - there were 2 - one huge, 1 small. No tea pot. More small tables required in lounge - nowhere to put a mug/glass if using sofa in front of tv apart from on the floor. The TV needs to be properly connected so you can if you wish, watch mainstream tv easily - eg the Scotland v England game last week was inaccessible No visitor book. Presumably it is intended to plaster the wall around the fireplace? The fridge is too small, it will be difficult/impossible for many to access without getting on their hands and knees. It didn’t seem to us to keep things v cold - eg a bottle of wine had to go into the freezer. The property description needs to make it clear that there is no parking immediately by the property- this would be a significant problem for some; as would the very steep stairs. Both would be beyond some people

  This was our 13th visit to the Croft.

  It's like a home from home for us. The view of the Moray Firth from the windows is awe inspiring, whatever the weather. They had unfortunately had lots of rain prior to our visit and the grass hadn't been cut for a few weeks - it appeared. This made it awkward having dogs, clearing up and we kept losing the dogs ball even though it was red! This didn't spoil anything, the weather was quite kind in that we only had light rain and for the most part it was a dry and mainly cloudy week. We didn't get many beach walks in due to the tide times. However our border collie had plenty of exercise running around the garden. We didn't see any dolphins but there were seals a plenty in the bay near the former Portessie swimming pool. Also, we were lucky enough to see the new aircraft carrier Prince Charles as we left Edinburgh a week earlier and there it was out in the Moray Firth. Another piece of British history to be proud of. You can never fail to leave here feeling relaxed. The sun even shone as we left, beckoning us to return again soon. We are back in June 20.

  The property's well situated with great views.

  Decoration and finish of the property inside leaves alot to be desired, with flaking paint on walls as well as evidence of what looks like mould in the dining room, caused by dampness in wall. Bathroom upstairs decorated in a hurry. Shower screen leaks onto what looks like MDF boarding which has swollen. Heating perfectly adequate with lots of hot water. Blinds in dining room don't shut properly so lack of privacy in this part of the house otherwise pretty good. Good selection of books and game's etc. Sorry to see at least 7 dead millipedes around the accommodation including 2 in the game's drawer !! I would like to note that the interior staircase was difficult for myself as I have mobility problems, I'm pleased to say I managed alright taking extra care. The carpet in the bunk room was stained and has seen better days. Outside area was pretty good. I didn't intend to go in with a crical eye but it could be so much better if issues were addressed and it was given the finish it deserves.

  A beautiful and comfortable holiday home.

  It had everything you would need for self catering, it was like an Aladdin’s cave finding supplies in drawers, cling film etc, games, books, spices. The home is lovely and spacious, beautiful sea views from all the rooms, able to prepare meal in kitchen and look out at the changing sea view. There is also a very large back grassed garden, and a lovely sheltered seated patio area. Our host was tending the lovely front garden when we arrived, and was full of info for us, to help with our stay. Added bonus is off street parking, car can sit right in front of the house, which is situated back from the road. I was aware that the garden was not fully enclosed from other reviews, which wasn’t a problem for us, as our dog does not wander off, but as others have suggested, a small gate at the side of the house would be the icing on the cake for this property. Mr and Mrs Smith, we had a relaxing time staying at your house, and would 100% recommend

  We had a fabulous two weeks at Braehead Croft.

  It was week 15 & 16 of our visits to this accommodation since 2012 (An additional 2 weeks were cancelled due to lockdowns) so you can tell we like staying here. The views are always fantastic and ever changing. December was a great time to visit. (After our July week was spoilt by all the 'staycationers'! - We go to Scotland to escape but people were everywhere!) Weather was unfashionably mild and dry for the most part, and any rain mainly fell overnight! We loved it, especially our Border Collie, Molly. She gets so excited when she sees that big garden to run up and down in. The beaches only had a few dog walkers so it was paradise.
