Beautifully done up cottage with so many thoughtful touches to make a stay more comfortable. Excellent facilities throughout including very handy "washroom" with washer, dryer, hose (very handy for cleaning sandy dogs) and clothes pulley. Only point to note for anyone planning to bring food from home is "fridge-freezer" is a relatively compact under counter fridge with 1 freezer shelf. Lovely setting in Cairnbulg - only a couple of minutes walk gets you onto the coastal path and just down the road from Maggie's Hoosie which is well worth a visit. Great base to see the North East. Amenities wise it's a beautiful coastal village so only has a small shop (and an awesome ice cream shop - Peters Ices) but you have plenty more amenities in Fraserburgh (10min drive). Would definitely recommend :)

We had a great holiday at this fantastic cottage in a lovely village. My wife and I along with out lab loved the long walks,along the local beaches of which there are miles and miles. The cottage is very tastefully decorated and comfortable, with everything you could want for a great getaway. The host Jean was brilliant, very friendly and very helpful. Peter's Ices at the end of the street was a favourite of all 3 of us. We would very happily return here and have no hesitation in highly recommending Going Coastal Cottage. Great value for money as well.
