  • "A fantastic property."

    It was immaculate throughout, and it seemed that everything had been thought about to ensure you had a great stay. The hot tub was fantastic (take a gown). Would thoroughly recommend, and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

  • "We had a lovely relaxing stay at 111."

    The accommodation was really comfortable and had everything we could need. The surrounding area is really beautiful and as we visited in October, wonderfully quiet, which was just what we wanted.

  • "Beautifully renovated apartment, very modern, all you could possibly need when away from home."

    Hot tub was fab! Everything clean, tidy and well thought of. Gardenstown itself is very hilly with lots of narrow roads and steep steps, please be mindful when booking if you are disabled or not great on your feet. Small convenience shop, cafe and lovely gift shop in the village. Larger neighbouring towns of Macduff and Banff have supermarkets, pharmacy etc

  • "Lovely light & airy duplex in the centre of Gardenstown."

    The bedrooms were comfortable and warm, the main sitting room/kitchen was comfy and well equipped. Fantastic view from the top front bedroom. The hot tub was a big hit. Great community feel to the town, the pub was a minutes walk away and offered great food and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend.

    So much attention to detail, and catered for all of our needs (with a 1 and 4 year old). The owners are lovely and friendly. Hot tub was great. We love Gardenstown and surrounding towns and villages. We hope to be back ASAP

  • "A beautiful home with every home comfort."

    A lovely village with shops if you needed anything urgently. We ate in the wee pub along the road - very nice, really friendly place. Really great for accessing other local villages and lovely walks right from the doorstep. Loved all the seaside touches throughout the property. We were friends travelling separately and meeting up so parking was an issue in the very narrow street outside but we just used the car park down by the shore and walked up after we'd off loaded our bags. We didn't watch any TV but I think if you wanted to you'd have to log in to your own digital channels - we couldn't find anything you could watch. Maybe it was operator error!!?? A couple of dishwasher tablets would have been good, just to make life easier. We had already asked about robes for the hot tub so we took our own - might be worth mentioning they aren't included as it's a very short walk up the path to reach the hot tub area. Would love to go back.

    Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad you had a lovely time. I can only apologise about the dishwasher tablets, these are meant to be supplied by the cleaning company who do the welcome pack. I appreciate this information so I can rectify this. Also for the problems with the TV. Gardenstown is such a beautiful village, we hope to welcome you back soon. Take care x Property Owner

  • "Paul and Ashley were great hosts."

    They welcomed us at the property to make sure everything was fine and encouraged us to just get intouch with any queries at we may have. The flat, over two floors, was spotless, beautifully decorated and furnished and very well equipped. You could see a lot of care had gone in to setting up the holiday home right down to providing a hot tub which, while we didn't use it, seems to have been really well used by most of the previous holiday makers. The village is very quaint and the folks we met really friendly. We would definitely go back again as it was the perfect base to explore that area.

    Aw it was so lovely to meet you all. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay in Gamrie. Hope to see you again. ‘Haste ye back’ Property Owner

    Perfect location for exploring this part of the Moray coast. Views from the upstairs bedroom are amazing.

    Everything you need is provided for you, making it a home away from home. Location was great, the view from the main bedroom window is fantastic, with the added bonus of the provided binoculars. On street parking is tight. Further up the lane, the garden has been done to provide a lovely relaxing area, this garden also houses the hot tub however we did not use it during our stay due to its positioning on the site.

  • "The property was amazing, recently renovated with lots of love and attention gone in to making it a perfect holiday let near the sea."

    The bed was so comfortable and the shower rooms great, the view from the top floor bedroom was stunning. Everything you could ask for was provided in the property and excellent quality which makes a huge difference. The hot tub (although we didn’t use it) is a well thought out private area, along with the garden area. It’s worth noting that you access these facilities from outside the property, so take robes with you! We met the host Paul who was very nice and most welcoming. He was telling us about his future plans for more rentals, if they are anything like this property, they will be outstanding! Highly recommend for a lovely, relaxed chilled out stay with lots of lovely walks on your doorstep.

    The house is newly renovated and is in stunning condition, with high quality furniture. Everything you could need has been provided in the kitchen. Beautiful cosy bedrooms. The hot tub was in a private location and perfect to sit in and watch the sun go down over the rooftops. The owners are a lovely couple who made sure we had an excellent stay. My family loved our time here and are already thinking of returning for another holiday. Its in a great location a minutes walk from the village restaurant/pub. 20 seconds to the wee shop, a couple minutes lovely walk to the harbour or beach. Gardenstown itself is a great place to stay. So many little lanes to walk about. The harbour and path along to the beach is wonderful for a walk. The beach is lovely and clean. Exceptionally clean clear water to swim in. Highly recommend.

About the location

GARDENSTOWN

Banff 8 miles; Fraserburgh 17 miles; Aberdeen 32 miles; Elgin 43 miles.

The port village of Gardenstown is often linked with neighbouring Gamrie and Crovie as one community, and was founded in 1720 by Alexander Garden as a fishing village. Gardenstown borders a small sandy bay with stunning scenery flanking both sides. The village has a pub serving food all year and a restaurant, galleries and several tea rooms in season. A steep road leads you through the ancient, narrow and winding streets to the harbour where many small boats are moored. The neighbouring town of Banff boasts a relaxing sandy beach and a variety of fascinating architecture in contrasting styles, exemplified by Duff House, an impressive Georgian mansion open to visitors and home to paintings and artefacts from the National Galleries of Scotland. Banff and the surrounding area also have a good selection of shops, restaurants and hotels, which serve a fine selection of local sea foods, whilst nearby Pennan, a beautiful old smugglers village, was the location for the movie 'Local Hero'. The whole area is an ideal tourist destination, being on the North East Tourist Trail, with easy access to coastal paths and the Whisky and Castle Trails, as well as numerous golf courses, fishing, sailing, dolphin watching, surfing, climbing, great walking and of course, stunning sunsets and fabulous scenery. The Grampian and Cairngorm mountains are easily accessible for day excursions, and the North East of Scotland is protected from prevailing winds and has the driest Scottish climate with virtually no midges.
