A lovely cottage located only a hundred yards from beautiful costline. The cottage has everything you need in the kitchen and a delightful warm comforting decor throughout. Super comfortable beds and tons of space if needed. The wodburning stove was a delight to come back to after a day out in the surrounding area and stores in Fraserburgh had plentiful supplies of kiln dried logs. Local store has good range of most basic items and the Chinese carry-out is as good as any one in the city. A perfect cottage in a quiet wee North East village but only a few miles from everything we certainly needed for a windswept but stunning weeks stay. Loved it.

Going Coastal was a beautifully appointed property with fabulous period features combined with modern amenities. It was always warm and cosy(we stayed end of October) loved snuggling up with the log burner on at the end of a days exploring. Joann could not have been more friendly and helpful.Cairnbulg is a good location to explore Banff and Buchan and also Aberdeenshire. Royal Deeside not too far to travel if you want to go inland. All in all I would highly recommend this house
