I stayed at the Coach House in April/May for a week, and really loved my stay there. It is a cozy little cottage - compact, but with everything you need during the holiday.
It's the perfect base to explore the Aberdeenshire coast - I went from Fraserburgh in the east, to Fochabers (Gordon Castle Garden) in the west - and all the little harbour villages inbetween. Apart from the well known Pennan and Crovie villages, I really liked Portsoy.
I was welcomed by Diane, the housekeeper, who showed me around the cottage, which was absolutely clean and well prepared - and has everything you need for your holiday. Not just a "practical" holiday cottage, but a real home with lots of character, interesting pieces decoration and a "welcome dram" of whisky.
There were some technical issues - power failure after a day of rain and the heating played up one day - but Diane and Kevin (one of the owners) were there within minutes to solve it.
The cottage is set in a quiet, rural area, but you can wander through the big garden of the main house, the coast is only minutes away, and Banff (the next bigger town) about 15min.
Thank you for providing such a beautiful place to discover Aberdeenshire!
