Great location for exploring the N.E. of Scotland. Lovely views from the large living room window over adjacent fields to the sea.Well equipped home. Ample parking , decent sized secure area for the dogs but you need to cross the drive to access this so we used dogs leash to take them over to garden.Lovely welcome pack and concise information pack to let you know how things work.
