It is in a superb location with sea views and a very pleasant walk along the front into Banff. It is modern and stylish with comfortable beds and good bathroom. I am pleased to say that we did not experience the technical problems with the wifi and TV that we did on our previous visit. Very enjoyable indeed and no complaints despite somewhat poor weather. Hope to return again someday. Thanks.

This cottage was amazing and would be easy to recommend The owner was very communicative and helpful and was kind enough to leave milk tea coffee sugar and a bottle of wine - essential after a 10 hour plus drive. This is a stunning part of Scotland to explore and even if it rains you have a warm and cozy cottage to wait it out. Many many thanks
