The property was as described, 3 metres from the sea with views across the bay from the three lounge windows. A lovely location, a sandy beach to one side and the harbour to the other with a short walk round the bay to Crovie. We only ventured out of Gardenstown once, to Macduff, as we were more than happy to stay in the village walking on the sand, round the bay or just sitting at the arbour. We did go up to the ruins of St Johns church, an energetic climb up the valley, but wonderful views from the top. There is a "Wee Shoppie" on Main Street which is well stocked with everything we needed, the Garden Arms Hotel provided meals on three of our nights there and the fresh haddock was excellent. Our daily walk on returning home was just not the same !
