Amazing breakfast, comfy couches and water pressure for the shower. Friendly staff and a decent car park. What more do you need..

Superb, modern establishment. Very well appointed, and quiet. A cooked breakfast big enough to feed an army, cooked while you wait. The owner is very helpful and friendly. One of the best guesthouses I have ever stayed in.

What a gem of a B & B. Aileen is a very accommodating host with a warm welcome and tea & coffee offered immediately on arrival. Room a lovely size with a good bathroom and great shower. Breakfast always cooked to perfection with a sausage for our dog every morning. We were allowed to come and go as we pleased and offered the use of the lovely tv lounge in the evenings. A real home from home. Highly recommend.

What a fantastic bed and breakfast this is. Just outside Stonehaven so there is plenty near by. Very clean, showers are excellent and you have the use of a very spacious lounge to watch tv or a dvd. Breakfast was brilliant and you have a very good choice.
