About this property

2 self-catering cottages booked as one with secure garden area.

Each self-catering cottage has central heating and double glazing with wood burning stoves. The well-tended grounds and gardens are superb with wonderful views over the valley and ample private parking surrounded by mature trees. The setting is rural yet 1 mile inland from the quaint traditional Scottish fishing village of Whitehills and 3 miles from Banff, a town with some of Scotland's finest examples of 16th and 17th century architecture, which includes Duff House built in 1743 by Robert Adams and now an outstation of The National Galleries of Scotland.

A wonderfull cottage!

We had an absolutely fantastic time at this cottage and couldn't recommend it more. The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming. Their hospitality made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. They were always available to offer recommendations and assistance, making our stay even more enjoyable. One of the highlights was the convenience of being able to reach the sea, a charming pub, and a supermarket all within a pleasant 30-minute walk. An additional highlight was the stunning garden encircling the property, such that the kids and the dog had a lot of fun. A big thank you to the hosts for providing such a memorable experience!

St Branden Cottages

Unfortunately some of the mattresses were uncomfortable. I did find the owner coming into the garden twice during our 10 day stay mowing the lawns a little intrusive. However he was really speedy. They went out of their way to provide board games when we asked and also suggested some places to eat when we enquired. There were no brochures with local things to see and do and local shops or places to visit which would have been useful. Perhaps these were removed due to COVID. I would definitely go back again as the location was super.

Hi Sandra Thanks for your feedback on your stay with us. Regarding your comments on the lumpy bed we will review this and address any changes required to the bedding or mattresses as required. However as I noted during your stay we do have multiple repeat customers who comment on the quality of the beds and the quality of sleep they have when staying with us. On the mowing of the lawn we would normally target this for our change over days, however, due to your length of your stay combined with the few days of rain we encountered it was necessary to mow the lawn when I had the window of opportunity. Apologies if this infringed on your stay. Also as I noted during your stay we had removed the local brochures and information as a precautionary measure as instructed by the local tourist authorities during the pandemic and had maintained this level of precaution for this season. Thanks again and we do look forward to welcoming you back to St Brandon Cottages. Ramsay

Pictures don't do it justice

Such a beautiful property, we had rented both cottages together for the week. Only a short walk to the seaside town of Whitehills. The service from Tracey and Ramsey was phenomenal, recommended to all friends and family

Outstanding 2 adjacent cottages that gave us the space required for our family holiday. Absolutely can’t fault anything, wonderful welcome pack in both cottages, huge garden for Rory our working cocker spaniel to run around. Garden toys provided for our granddaughter to play with.
