  We had a lovely holiday at Fisherman’s Cottage.

  The cottage has a lovely layout with 3 large bedrooms and large bathroom. The kitchen is small but had all the appliances and utensils we required. It is really well thought out and equipped. There was even cupboard space to put food away etc and a full size dishwasher and washing machine. I was really pleasantly surprised with the kitchen. The whole cottage has a lovely layout and modern feel. The beds were very comfy and the shower is very good and powerful. The cottage was clean and well presented. The hot tub was a bonus! And a good sized garden with garden furniture. It is so close to the sea which was amazing. We enjoyed many walks along the quiet, beautiful beaches watching the seals. In the village there is a local shop, which is handy. There is also an ice cream shop and Chinese takeaway which we tried and can highly recommend. There are large supermarkets and other amenities close in Fraserburgh. If you are looking to explore this area in Scotland this is the perfect place to stay!

  We really enjoyed the stay.

  With 6 of us the small capacity for hot water was a bit of a nuisance but we just had to work around it. We were glad of the information in the folder about this and we just adjusted when we had showers. One of our party fell quite badly on the stairs as they are very slippy as well as being small with the age of the property. Maybe a hand rail at the bottom on both sides would help. Otherwise, we noticed there isn’t much privacy when using the bathroom with people in the kitchen. Perhaps an alternative door would create a sound barrier there. We would like to have been able to open ground floor windows for air flow but there were no window keys which we presumed was for security. The battery on the Velux controller in the kitchen ran out twice. We had our own compatible charger but others may not. If the window was left open when the battery went that could be problematic. Overall we thought the cottage was lovely and the design made the most of the space. We would definitely recommend it and visit again.

  A beautiful home with every home comfort.

  A lovely village with shops if you needed anything urgently. We ate in the wee pub along the road - very nice, really friendly place. Really great for accessing other local villages and lovely walks right from the doorstep. Loved all the seaside touches throughout the property. We were friends travelling separately and meeting up so parking was an issue in the very narrow street outside but we just used the car park down by the shore and walked up after we'd off loaded our bags. We didn't watch any TV but I think if you wanted to you'd have to log in to your own digital channels - we couldn't find anything you could watch. Maybe it was operator error!!?? A couple of dishwasher tablets would have been good, just to make life easier. We had already asked about robes for the hot tub so we took our own - might be worth mentioning they aren't included as it's a very short walk up the path to reach the hot tub area. Would love to go back.

  The cottage was absolutely gorgeous.

  Finished to a very high standard and contained everything you could possibly need for cooking, picnics, board games/books for staying home and lots of storage in all rooms too. A lot of thought has gone into the finer touches and quality. Beds were very comfortable and the cottage was spacious and well-appointed for a family. Parking was not a problem at any time too (with kids we know that can sometimes be issue on holidays). Sandend itself is such a stunning place, absolutely beautiful. It has to be one of the lovelist places we have ever been. Perfect surfing for us and the children and amazing evening walks on the beach. Great place with various local paths for walks. Portsoy was only a 5 min drive to pick up any supplies from supermarket and also does the best ice cream! We really couldn't recommend this place enough and will definitely be back.

  We had a fantastic holiday here.

  The house is newly renovated and is in stunning condition, with high quality furniture. Everything you could need has been provided in the kitchen. Beautiful cosy bedrooms. The hot tub was in a private location and perfect to sit in and watch the sun go down over the rooftops. The owners are a lovely couple who made sure we had an excellent stay. My family loved our time here and are already thinking of returning for another holiday. Its in a great location a minutes walk from the village restaurant/pub. 20 seconds to the wee shop, a couple minutes lovely walk to the harbour or beach. Gardenstown itself is a great place to stay. So many little lanes to walk about. The harbour and path along to the beach is wonderful for a walk. The beach is lovely and clean. Exceptionally clean clear water to swim in. Highly recommend.
