  Comfortable for our needs as a base and clean which is very important.

  Lovely view from the front. Some of the bath towels were old and in need of replacement, for example bleach stains/discolouration was not very welcoming. There were no tea towels or dish cloths provided but I brought one of each from home just in case. There was a used green scourer pad and dish brush on arrival which we avoided. We brought a little washing up liquid, laundry liquid, kitchen roll from home which came in handy. We left behind our leftover hand wash and some of the above for the next guests. Someone else had left behind washing up liquid. We also brought some bin/food bags although someone had left some bin bags but we used our own. The conservatory has a few leaks when it’s raining heavy which I’m sure the owner already knows about, given the faint damp tide marks on the walls and the wet arm of the chair close to the exterior door. We did not use the outdoor furniture as they were a health and safety hazard and should have been removed and replaced prior to guests arriving. Legs seem to be missing and someone has placed large stones underneath to hold them up. The cleaners/owner will know about this and a previous guest mentioned. We wondered if the BBQ was safe next to wooden shed/fence. The grill part was balancing on stones. The bedroom downstairs has a badly fitted window causing the strong wind to blow the curtains around quite forcefully especially on the first and second night of our stay. Some of the crockery was tired. We would definitely visit the area again but would choose a different property next time. Nice food served next door. We did not find the pub too noisy at all and everyone we met on our travels was so lovely and friendly. Overall we enjoyed our stay in beautiful surroundings but the property is overpriced given the issues above.

  Overall the cottage was lovely, spacious and well equipped but unfortunately there were a lot of things that went wrong while we stayed, windows not being wind tight and blowing open in the bad weather.

  .even waking some of us up during the night it was so drafty! The conservatory roof leaked a bit, and a really bad leak at the front door under the large front door mat! Also really lacking basic essentials which for the price of the cottage was really disappointing, no hand soap, no washing up liquid, no dishwasher tablets, no spare binliners not even one. Also bulbs not working in lamps, no sockets working in the living room when we arrived so we had to find the fuse board and sort that out because something had tripped out, and a bedroom window was left wide open when we arrived so the house was absolutely freezing and it took ages to warm up once we’d put the heating on! Sofas need replacing too, so uncomfortable! The good things..lots of space, loads of pots and pans etc in the kitchen which was good for 6 adults, nice shower, good secure garden for the dog, great spot by the harbour and hubby and sons were happy being next door to the pub!

  The house was lovely and in a great location.

  Owner came and put bins out for collection. Both double beds could do with new mattresses. I am happy always to keep house clean but lack of cleaning equipment. I don't think at cost of house customer should have to buy cleaning stuff. Had to purchase fairy liquid, dishwasher tablets, toilet cleaner etc. Hoover left to clean was a joke. Had not been emptied and fell apart and made cleaning up twice as hard. Put this right and house is a gem and loved staying here. Would we come again definitely. We also had a caravan from same people on Findochty Park. Excellent ask for caravan 11. Put the cleaning stuff in both. Only downside for us we have 3 dogs and can only bring one to house. Neighbours nice. Pub good for friendliness and having a drink. Food expensive and not the beat. Findochty beautiful and could not have had a better location for the house.

  This cottage was an absolutely amazing place to spend a week away from it all.

  It was warm, cosy and perfect for all of our needs. Being double length, it also just had that feeling of having a lot of space. The dining room for daytime and then the living room for evening use. Both areas having log burning fires was a great touch and certainly kept the heat. Of note also was a very good and hot shower. You are a minute away from one of the most picturesque beaches in Scotland and when the tide is out, great for that walk. Shops decent and close enough, and a few pubs. There was also a welcome pack including a couple of beers, a bottle of bubbles and our host, Debbie, felt at hand. She checked with us on arrival that all was ok and also made contact during our stay to see if we needed anything. We could not have asked for more and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Thank you.

  We've stayed in a lot of self catering holiday cottages in Scotland and this was well below the standard we are used to.

  There was a leftover dog toy which obviously belonged to a previous visitor under one of the chairs which doesn't give you much confidence the place has been cleaned thoroughly. The beds (and a lot of the other furniture) were old and worn and not that comfortable. Bedding and linen was fine but the beds need replacing. The bathrooms were also in need of an update, very basic and a bit shabby looking. There is a lovely big garden but the only outdoor seating was an old bench and table, it would be nice to have some proper outdoor seating so you can make the most of the garden/eat outside of the weather is nice. The cottage was well equipped with all the basics and location was great but some investment is needed to upgrade the furniture/bathrooms to make this a more enjoyable holiday cottage.
