"Lovely cottage & village."
Enjoyed our stay. Thunder loved his walks along beach & coastal paths
-
"Really enjoyed our stay at coastal cottage, We couldn't fault it at all, the area was great for us and being able to bring our dog meant it was ideal for us."
The facilities were second to none and in coming to Scotland for a lot of years this cottage ranked as one of the best we have stayed in.would definitely return again if the cottage became available. F. Homer

"Fabulous cottage in a beautiful location."
Ideal for cycling, beach combing, and visiting the surrounding villages. So many things to keep busy or just relax in cosy coastal cottage. Perfect holiday.

"Could not fault this stunning cottage."
Has all the comfort of home, very clean and well maintained, be aware of the steep steps upstairs though if have mobility issues.Could do with extra frying pan especially if 3 or 4 people staying. The garden is a perfect sun trap and fully enclosed so was perfect for Tia to wander around. The village itself is very quiet and not much in the way of amenities, but Fraserburgh is only 5 min drive where you can find everything you need (McIntosh butchers has a fantastic range). The beach is a 5 minute walk from the cottage very quiet and dog friendly. Really enjoyed a relaxing evening in this cosy cottage after visiting local area which is full of stunning views and quaint fishing villages.

"Excellent perfect location highly maintained throughout well equipped only downside stairs steep and narrow"
-
"Very sweet little cottage and located next to a lovely beach."
Friendly village location. It was very tidy and easy to stay in. Quiet location with a good walk. Beach to the right had quite a lot of smelly rubbish to get pass after about a 15min walk from St Combs. Obviously not a lot the owners can do about it but a sad reminder of the impact we have on our environment. Once passed this section it opened out to a beautiful sandy beach with sand dunes. We were the only ones on it. Walk to the left from St Combs and you will find another beautiful sandy beach. St Combs beach itself is also lovely but we love to walk along the beach and explore! Cottage itself is well equipped and maintained.
-
"Excellent holiday cottage, close to beautiful beach."
The cottage is fully equipped with everything we needed. As four adults sharing the only thing I would suggest is a separate toilet. Thank you would visit again.

"It was a lovely cottage!"
My son and I had a lovely time chilling out and visiting the beach! Also good garden space for the dogs! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely like to return!
-
"Just what we needed as a break from city life!"
I have mobility issues so found the stairs a bit challenging and the double bed mattress was too soft for our liking. The parking entrance was a little tight for my vehicle too. That asides we enjoyed our stay and the locals were all really friendly. Scott, Shona & Mia too.
-
"Love visiting St Combs and staying in Coastal Cottage."
So cosy and comfortable. We always feel so at home here. Everything that is needed is available. Well decorated and very clean. See you again next year. Even when the weather is wild and stormy, there is always something to do.

"Fantastic cottage."

-
"Another brilliant week at Coastal Cottage,spotlessly clean and everything you could need in the cottage, Zander the cottage owner popped round on the Sunday to see if everything was ok which is a nice touch, We would highly recommend this cottage for a lovely peaceful break,lovely and quiet but ideally placed for days out."
Thank You Zander & Faye

"What's not to love about Coastal cottage and St Combs."
We feel at home the minute we arrive. Cosy, comfortable, well stocked and in a fantastic location. Amazing beaches, quaint villages to visit and fantastic cycle routes with quiet country roads to cycle safely for miles. Zander and Faye are brilliant hosts. Our 8th visit and already booked to go back this year.
-
"The cottage was extremely comfortable and extremely well equipped - a real home from home."
There wasn't anything missing that we could think of. The only downside to our stay was the WiFi which was dismal. The only place we could get it was the kitchen, the chair nearest the door in the livingroom and the closest side to the front door on the bench outside. This is the only reason we have given 4* as everything else was perfect.
-
"Great place to stay if you like a quiet holiday ."
Beach 3 minutes bus stop same chip shop same neighbours very friendly cottage excellent
-
"Cottage was immaculate and well equipped."
I n a quiet location close to the lovely beach. Parking is a little awkward as tried not to block neighbors access. Lovely sunny garden fully enclosed for the dog who loved it. Found leather sofas a bit uncomfortable but everything else was perfect. Would recommend a stay in this lovely cottage. Buchan ices ice cream was delicious..
-
"This was the nicest cottage we have stayed at with our holidays at Sykes Cottages , very clean and smart with a decent size enclosed garden which was ideal for our Golden Retriever."
The cottage was literally a 5 minute walk to a beautiful sandy beach which was ideal for long walks for us and plenty of sea time for the dog . I would definitely recommend staying here and I am sure my wife and I ( plus dog ) will come back again.
-
"Very nice comfortable cottage with all that’s needed."
We always take a freezer box with prepared meals because there’s not a lot of places to eat out, something to keep in mind. There is a good fish and chip shop in the village and Chinese and Indian take outs in Fraserburgh. Lovely to have the owners nearby and very helpful calling to see if there was anything we needed. Plenty of things for children in an upstairs trunk if you have children with you. Would recommend to anyone.
-
"We desperately needed a few days away and are so glad we picked coastal cottage!"
It is a beautiful cottage that is really well presented & with friendly neighbours :) !
-
"Welcome pack was very much appreciated after our drive up."
Cottage was pretty much perfect for our holiday. Only thing that would make a difference would be a small heater in the living room which would save having to put the heating on. If we are up there again we would definitely book your cottage.
Thank you for your feedback we really appreciate it. Its good that you enjoyed it thanks again and hope to see you again Zander & faye Property Owner

"A really lovely two bed cottage, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay."
A bit of attention to detail could be given to some of the rooms, touch up of the skirting boards and fix squeaky doors and hinges etc, however a very clean and well presented place. The skylight on the landing is in need of attention though as very drafty, didn't shut properly and when it snowed as hard as it did when we were there it started to come in the house through the gaps!! The master bedroom is huge but the mattress was too soft for us and a bit spring-y in the back. Might need a change. The out house is awesome as a great storage space particularly for us as we were there for two weeks. The kitchen was well equipped, however, we had to buy ourselves a bigger pan as the ones provided were just trying pans or saucepans. WiFi was surprisingly good in the kitchen particularly which meant we could work from there no problem. Best bit? The village it's in is right on the most BEAUTIFUL coast line and beach. Just stunning, lost loads of time just walking up and down nearly as far as the lighthouse near Peterhead! Thanks Fay and Zander!

"Coastal cottage was absolutely outstanding and the most relaxing holiday break I have had in years."
Blissfully quiet, fantastic beach,almost to ourselves and a quaint, comfortable and fully modernised cottage. Xander the owner greeted us shortly after arrival and even the neighbours were friendly and chatty. This was my families 1st visit to Scotland to visit relatives and it did not disapoint. We were all very sad to have to leave but were so impressed with our stay we hope to return for longer as our main holiday next time.
Thank you very much for the feedback we really appreciate it glad you had a great holiday hope to see you again Property Owner

"Great for pets and 5 minutes walk to the beach."
-
"This is a lovely cottage with a great secure garden and car park space which gives peace of mind for pets and children."
The cottage is very comfortable and its situation in the centre of the village puts everything on-hand. There is everything you need for a decent duration of stay but some tucked away to stop crowding the space. The TV package could do with an upgrade so at least so the main terrestrial channels are available and the shower temperature more consistent. The neighbourhood is extremely friendly and helpful.
thank you for your feed back glad you had a good time hope to see you again (the tv was replaced on 21/05/22 with a new smart tv) Property Owner

"Had a great week in Scotland and the cottage was spot on for what we needed."
Very clean,spacious rooms and a fab enclosed garden for our pooch. Beach was not 5min walk away and the local shop does amazing ice cream! It was lovely to meet Zander the owner and have a chat, and all the neighbours are so friendly. Will be back!
thank you for your feedback its really appreciated hope to see you again Property Owner

"Coastal Cottage made our week away perfect,immaculately clean with everything you could need provided,a proper home from home, We have just enjoyed one of our best ever weeks away,the village is very freindly and the almost deserted beach is just a few minutes walk away, There is a Fish n Chip shop that also sells a few essentials and gorgeous ice cream 2 minutes from the cottage,for a bigger shop Fraserburgh is only a 10 minute drive to Tesco or Asda, We met Zander the owner of Coastal Cottage who went above and beyond to sort an issue with the television that suddenly decided not to work even though he was away himself at a wedding, We would highly recommend this cottage for a peaceful and relaxing break,hope to be back ourselves soon enough."
Thank you for the feed back it is really appreciated hope to see you again Property Owner

"We had a good week at Coastal Cottage."
The beds were fine and we slept well. Kitchen was well equipped. Shower ok but it was a bit awkward to use the flexible hose. The house was spotless but we had wash up some of the cups and cutlery as they were a bit sticky. The fridge was quite temperamental and actually froze two cucumbers and the tomatoes! We think the door was a bit on the wonk. We have a larger type car/ people carrier and it was difficult to park in the drive if people were parked opposite- which they always were. We were blocked in the first day so subsequently we parked on the road. But a smaller car would be fine. Internet access was good. However the TV was very old school and was not smart so you couldn't link or screen cast to it and the channels on offer were very basic Personally we found the sofa a bit uncomfortable as it was quite low and lacked support. It would have been nice to have a couple of TV tables as we prefer a table and chairs as opposed to being perched on a high stool at the breakfast bar. Another small issue was the complete lack of privacy in the garden. Also the garden wasn't small dog friendly as there were gaps under the gate. However the neighbours were really nice and friendly and loved our little dog! There is a small shop in St combs selling a limited range of basics at a high price so you need to drive to fraserburgh to find a supermarket. Apart a very indifferent fish an chip shop there are no other eateries in the village. These are very minor issues and I have no problem recommending the cottage. One last note- the stairs are steep and twisty. Anyone with any mobility issues would struggle to get upstairs.

"Absolute gem of a cottage, we found the property very relaxing, clean, comfortable and great location being quite close to some amazing beech’s, will hopefully return soon."
thank you for your feedback really appreciated hope to see you soon Property Owner

"Cottage was lovely and cosy very clean and so well equipped with everything you need and more,owner called in to see us and make sure we had everything we needed,the lovely beech is literally 2mins down the road and there is a shop and fish & chip shop 2 mins away ,Fraserburgh is just a few miles from st combs with shops and restaurants and take always."
Wi-Fi at cottage was very good.we will definitely come back when weather is a bit better. Thank you to owners for our lovely relaxing stay in your beautiful cottage and we will be highly recommending to everyone
Thank you very much for your feedback its really appreciated hope to see you soon all the best zander & faye Property Owner

"Love Coastal Cottage and St Combs so much."
Fantastic value for money. So many beautiful beaches to walk on. Some lovely villages to visit. So much to do within easy travelling distance. Great cycles paths and quiet side roads. See you again asap.
thank you Property Owner
-
"Highly recommend Coastal cottage."
Very cosy and comfortable. St Combs is a beautiful friendly village. With spectacular beaches, wildlife and views. Within easy reach of many beauty spots. Our 4th visit and we will back as soon as possible. Zander and Faye are brilliant hosts. Yvonne and Russell Holland.
Thank you Property Owner

"The sunrise & sunsets are so beautiful great cottage in a lovely village the beach is fabulous friendly villages"
-
"The only thing that comes to mind is the height of the door frames."
As I am over 6 foot tall I did bump my head a few times but it's a cottage and they didn't build them for rope as tall as myself. We loved the peace and quiet as well as the very short walk to the beach was just perfect
-
"We had a great week in this lovely cottage."
It was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The village is very quiet and friendly. The sandy beach is only 5 minutes walk and the chip shop was very good. We would stay there again.
-
"The stairs in the house were very difficult and would not suit a disabled person."
This should be made clear before a less able person books. This is particularly relevent as the toilet is downstairs. Otherwise everythig was most excellent.
-
"The cottage is so cozy and very clean, the surroundings very beautiful."
It was a really relaxing holiday and I would recommend to anyone. We saw many seals on the beach and in the harbour. And the daily ice cream was so nice!
-
"Coastal cottage is everything you want for a relaxing holiday."
Fantastic situation. Very clean , well stocked and comfortable. Our 3rd visit here and we can’t wait to go back. Zander and Faye are fantastic hosts.
-
"Beautiful cottage in a friendly lovely village."
The beach is minutes away and so picturesque. Seals and views for miles. So much to do in the area. Faye and zander make the cottage so homely with everything you require. Our 2nd visit was so good we have booked to go back in February 2021. Our perfect escape. We just love it.
-
"My wife and I had a most enjoyable break at “Coastal Cottage” on arrival there was a welcome pack in the kitchen for our use which was greatly appreciated."
The cottage was spotlessly clean And had everything that we required for our stay, the lovely beach was a five minute walk from the cottage which our little dogs absolutely loved. Special thanks to Zander and Faye the owners for being so helpful and taking the time to make sure that we were enjoying our holiday.
-
"This was our first ever holiday cottage."
We were very happy with our experience but think the cottage would benefit in the winter months by having a tumble dryer or at least a clothes horse as there was nothing to dry any washing on or in. Lovely location, enjoyed watching the seals whilst on the beach. Neighbours were friendly as were all the villagers.
-
"When planning a holiday with Sykes I always put time and effort into this to ensure to the best of our ability we get nice accommodation."
Plus very positive reviews for this cottage and at nearly £700 for the week felt it must be a good cottage. Upon arrival all looked very good with the exception of the sofa and the stairs to the bedrooms. In the first instance the stair was very precipitous and as older people found this really scary going up and down! Given the nature of the stair this had not been highlighted in the blurb for cottage. The sofa in the lounge (I feel) had seen better days and as tall people we found it extremely uncomfortable with no support. My husband had to use a garden chair for support as the sofa had exacerbated pain in his back to the point he could hardly walk and the bed did not help either!! This leads me onto the main bed where the mattress was awfully soft - absolutely no support and you could feel the divan beneath and I'll point out that neither of us are overweight! Also the sheets on the bed should have been thrown out as they were bobbly and not fit for purpose. On a positive note the cottage was lovely and clean but would definitely never stay here again.
-
"Pleasantly surprised - beaches in the area were fabulous, and the location was peaceful."
Good food in Fraserburgh and other places we visited. Unfortunate that the local restaurant has closed but the chippy was fine. Not far too the RSPB by Loch of Strathbeg, more fabulous beach (and seals in the surf) hidden away at Rattray and Aden Country Park (inc farming museum); Peterhead prison museum worth a visit too. The only downside about the cottage for us was a bed that was a bit soft for our liking, but I expect others may find it just right. The rest of it worked well for us.
-
"This is a beautiful, luxurious cottage, providing everything you could need."
The address of "Inverallochy" is misleading, St. Combs is the next village along & this can cause confusion. The cottage is very close to the sea & a nice beach. The owners & their neighbours are extremely pleasant & helpful.
-
"A very chilled out Cosy week Just what we needed."
-
"Our cottage was very clean and comfortable, the owners had everything we could possibly want even down to food in the cupboards and fridge!"
!, we definitely wouldn’t think twice about returning and we recommend it to anybody who wants to visit this part of Scotland, and it could be used as a good base for travelling around the highlands.
-
"This was a beautiful cottage in a lovely village."
Comfortable and well equipped. The owner made contact to see all was well. We had a great week.
-
"We had a great holiday and thought the cottage was very nice, one very small thing was the hairdryer was near impossible to use as the cable was far to short, only a little problem but I thought I would mention it."
-
"Beautiful cottage well equipped and beautiful area"
-
"This is a much underrated part of Scotland with a huge amount to offer in the way of comfort, cleanliness and hospitality."
The Coastal Cottage is excellent, with everything available to make a relaxing and, if required, adventurous holiday. Forget holiday parks, this is the place to be.
-
"We arrived at the cottage and the owner came to greet us and gave us his address if we needed anything."
The cottage exceeded our expectations in every way, everything we needed was there. Complimentary tea, coffee, sugar even milk was left in the fridge. Towels and bedding was included so no need to pack these bulky items. The location was excellent for us as we were tracing family history in the Peterhead area. The coast only a 5 minute walk away. Fish and chip shop, post office and convenience store all within a 2 minute walk from the cottage. Sykes cottages were really good with the booking, easy online and very helpful when I phoned. We would highly recommend the accommodation and Sykes Cottages, I would definitely use them again. Thank you.

"The whole experience of staying in the fishing village."
But with central heating! Lovely area. Great seafood. Friendly people.
-
"We were very pleased with the cottage."
it was exactly as listed on the website. very comfortable, beautifully clean. The little extra touches like tea/coffee/sugar and biscuits were a lovely surprise and after an eight hour drive welcomed before we started the unpacking. The village was quieter than we expected with nothing for our our Grandson other than the beach. we had a meal at the Tufted Duck, the food was delicious, freshly prepared and served by pleasant polite staff.
-
"Everything at the cottage was in tiptop condition."
Could not have been better.
-
"Coastal cottage was a lovely clean and comfortable place to stay."
There were also very well thought out complimentary items which made our stay all the more comfortable. It was well equipped. The neighbours were very friendly and the beach was wonderful especially as we had it mainly to ourselves apart from the odd dog Walker.
-
"This was our second time at coastal cottage and we thoroughly enjoyed it."
It's a well equipped cottage and has everything you need. The owners are brilliant. They made sure we had everything we wanted and went above and beyond. I would happily stay again.
-
"The cottage is fabulous !"
! The owners thought of everything to make it homely & welcoming , including complimentary tea / coffee & biscuits for our arrival. The time spent there was enhanced by the gorgeous weather we had so made the beaches and local scenery even more inviting and beautiful. ( if that is possible ) Our dog came too .... and untill this week she was a bit shy of sand, but returned home completely converted, A great place to completely chill out and relax !!
-
"We enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the village."
The enclosed garden was ideal for our dog and was very secure.
-
"We had a brilliant time."
We would recommend this cottage to anyone.

About the location
FRASERBURGH
Peterhead 17 miles; Portsoy 33 miles; Aberdeen 40 miles.
Fraserburgh is situated just along the north east coast from Aberdeen and borders the mouth of the Moray Firth. Whilst it is still a busy fishing port the number of boats has decreased dramatically over the years, although todays boats are far bigger than they were in bygone days. The town itself is a real community with a strong Football team and impressive 18 hole golf course, the 7th oldest club in the world believe it not, established in 1777. With its modern clubhouse vistors are most welcome and can enjoy the bar, dining room and lounge areas that overlook the course and sand dunes. The mueseum of Scottish Liighthouses is based in Fraserburgh and is well worth a visit and gives a real insight to the history of the Lighthouses in the north of Scotland. Fraserburgh is a beautiful seaside town with a rich history and an award winning beach. Inverallochy 18 hole golf course is within walking distance of Fraserburgh. Nearby is the RSPB Loch of Strathbeg which is one of the best places for wildlife in the UK as well as Aden Country Park within easy reach with 230 acres of parkland to enjoy.
Please ensure there is a day gap to allow for cleaning if booking a short stay during the week.
