Amazing breakfast, comfy couches and water pressure for the shower. Friendly staff and a decent car park. What more do you need..
This is a beautiful place to stay. Aileen is a fabulous hostess and cook. We couldn't have felt more welcome. Georgina, Sandra, and Iris.
Friendly host, nice house, very clean and felt covid secure, nice to be able to bring our spaniel.
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.
Lovely room, great breakfast, host was very charming. Wifi was good too!
Simply lovely - very genuine host, loves her work, beautiful countryside retreat
