Banff was once a county town and is now a Royal Burgh; in 1324, Robert the Bruce granted it a charter. The town is renowned for its exceptional architecture and has been named an Outstanding Conservation Area. The top portion of the town is home to Georgian architecture, one of many different architectural types that can be seen throughout Banff. The village of Banff Harbour presently features a marina and recreational harbour, as well as sand beaches, stores, and seafood eateries. The Deveron Valley's Duff House, which was constructed between 1735 and 1740, is regarded as one of Britain's best Georgian homes.

All the locals are really friendly too. The cottage was really nice and snug very clean. There was 2 cons to the cottage.thereâs no washing machine would have preferred one to a dishwasher. The plates are to big too big to fit in the dishwasher which makes the dishwasher pointless

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.
