Ideal for cycling, beach combing, and visiting the surrounding villages. So many things to keep busy or just relax in cosy coastal cottage. Perfect holiday.

Has all the comfort of home, very clean and well maintained, be aware of the steep steps upstairs though if have mobility issues.Could do with extra frying pan especially if 3 or 4 people staying. The garden is a perfect sun trap and fully enclosed so was perfect for Tia to wander around. The village itself is very quiet and not much in the way of amenities, but Fraserburgh is only 5 min drive where you can find everything you need (McIntosh butchers has a fantastic range). The beach is a 5 minute walk from the cottage very quiet and dog friendly. Really enjoyed a relaxing evening in this cosy cottage after visiting local area which is full of stunning views and quaint fishing villages.
