• "We absolutely loved staying at 49 Crovie."

  As soon as we got there we saw dolphins in the bay which made our holiday. The cottage is beautiful and the village is simply enchanting (reminds me of a place I would see in Harry Potter). We booked 49 Crovie for a relaxing holiday away from the hustle and bustle of city life and it did not disappoint. We sat outside watching the ocean and wildlife and when it got too dark and chilly we went inside to sit by the log burner. It was everything we asked for. We visited the little shop and Ellies bakery in Gardenstown, the best cheese scones I have ever tasted...well worth the visit. We had such a wonderfully peaceful time that I can truly say I would rather stay in Crovie than go anywhere else. We are already looking at dates to book again. Thank you 49 Crovie was everything we wanted and needed xxx

• "We had a lovely stay in this cottage by the sea."

  We have visited Crovie many times and wondered what it would be like to stay here. It is such a peaceful location and I enjoyed being so near to the sea. The cottage is very comfortable and has everything you need for your stay. We used the wood burner every evening and the living room was so cosy. There are nice walks from the cottage and plenty of places to visit along the coast, a really nice part of Scotland. We also enjoyed the welcome pack left for us.

• "The communication with Steve the host prior and during the stay was great, it made me feel reassuring and welcoming."

  The accommodation was great value for money especially if you stay as a family. The view in front of the cottage was spectacular. The facilities such as tv and WiFi were both very good. All the cooking equipment was more than sufficient as well. The heatings worked well as well. As it is getting cold, it might be useful to extend the programme a little. I was struggling a bit with the hot water but it was probably me. Some fellow guests mentioned about the low ceiling on the first floor; I am relatively petit so it didn’t affect me much and I think the children would find it fun and there are only two bedrooms on the first floor. Really appreciate the welcoming goodies which was a lovely gesture. Thank you!

  Hi Michael, we were really sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the cleanliness of the pans and the functionality of the wood burner. This is the first time these have been mentioned in more than 80 reviews and we will fully investigate to check on the issues, as we want everyone to have a perfect stay. We hope that you enjoyed your break nevertheless. Property Owner

• "A really beautiful and special place, it was like going back in time."

  We loved the comfortable cosy cottage, and the amazing views. We slept like babies from the beautiful sounds of the ocean and the fresh sea air. Set in lovely community with fantastic coastal walks. We recommend The Wee Shoppie in Gardenstown. great place to stay.

• "Thoroughly enjoyable stay."

  Lovely cottage, in a great location and very well equipped. Some really nice walks about the area with super views. Also great to sit outside the cottage, looking out at the sea when the weather is fine. On the two days that had less favourable weather, we found that the cottage can be made cosy quickly!

• "A wonderful place and the perfect getaway for a few days over New Year."

  We loved the character of the property and the village. The cottage itself was really well appointed and finished to a great standard. The beds are as comfortable as they looked, which is a rarity in holiday lets, but a very welcome surprise here. We can't wait to return and explore the area more in the summer months and would recommend you try it too!

• "We had a brilliant time - with amazing weather throughout the week."

  The house felt homely and had everything we needed. The staircase to the bedrooms was narrow and would probably be difficult for someone with mobility problems. We thoroughly enjoyed the red wine and Tunnocks left by the owners which was a lovely surprise. The road to the village was very steep but we got used to it quickly and always found somewhere to park at the bottom. Having the sea right outside the cottage was amazing. We often sat outside and watched the sun set.

• "Absolutely awesome awesome place to stay."

  Extremely clean, had everything we needed. Living room was so cosy with fire on, kitchen was spacious, large bathroom, good boot room, bedrooms spacious for lots of bags. Listening to the waves crash against the cottage at night – priceless. We were very impressed. Steve looks after this place brilliantly, is very friendly, super accommodating, answers emails quickly, let us say an extra night last minute – we would not hesitate to book again. In fact, we can’t wait to come back! Only thing I’d recommend you say to guests is to not arrive hour either side of high tide – they may get wet LOL!

• "An absolute AAA property in the most magical setting."

  49 Crovie Cottage has stolen a piece of my heart, I really didn’t want to leave. The cottage was warm and cosy and the bottle of wine and tea cakes were a wonderful welcoming touch. Everything was so clean and the log fire was all set up for lighting when we arrived. New Years Eve was so lovely with the pipers piping past our cottage. We followed them a short distance to the bonfire and midnight fireworks on the beach. Would highly recommend especially if you like to drift off to sleep listening to the sea. The property owners communication was prompt and friendly. Will miss you Crovie.

• "Cottage was exactly as described in the add."

  It was clean and everything was provided - including towels. Please note that especially during colder times the road up the hill can be very challenging to go up and leave the area. But other than that it was a very lovely stay (and not my last) and communication with the owners and locals was very good.

• "A very enjoyable stay."

  We settled into 49 very well for our 3 night stay. The ceiling heights upstairs are a bit of an issue but we were careful and avoided any head bumps! The kitchen area and dining area was particularly spacious and well equipped. Overall we loved our seaside hideaway.

• "Everything about the cottage and surrounding area was amazing,I would highly recommend this beautiful cottage."

  My elderly mother-in-law struggled to get to the cottage and up and down the narrow staircase. Maybe the limited accessibility and very low ceilings upstairs should be highlighted in the cottage information.

• "The house and location is perfect."

  Probably one of the best we have ever stayed in. The house is immaculate and the views are truly unique. Only suggestion for improvement would be to make check in/out times of 4pm/9am a little earlier/later. All things considered, 49 crovie is an outstanding place!

• "I found the staircase horrendous, ( you should hilight that this is incredibly narrow, steep & stairs are not deep for fet larger than size six)."

  Also the height of doors entering bedrooms & lack of room height in bedroom ( i had to crawl into bed ) I am a 6' 3" man in my mid 50s & had to visit the bathroom several times each night ( which was absolutely ridiculous trying to manage all these hazards I have stated ) plus the fact how far away the bathroom actually was . I really feel this should be detailed to future potential renters . P. Crockford

  The cottage was cosy, warm and homely-we especially loved the kitchen area. Going to sleep and waking up to the sound of the sea was so lovely and peaceful. The most perfect destination for much needed r and r. We loved our daily walk to gardenstown along the sea-lovely cafe and pub and harbour and beach. Crovie itself was like nowhere else we have ever been-friendly and true escapism. Our children especially loved using the wheelbarrow for transportation. We will definitely return ❤️

  I just love it! A fabulous cottage, well appointed with everything you might need, wifi etc and even Netflix! But the scenery is awesome, and its wonderful to be so close to the sea in any weather. However some glorious hot weather on my last stay there (early May), fabulous sunsets every night. Well worth a stay.

  49 is an excellent base. It's well-equipped and comfortable. Needless to say, it's quiet, apart from the waves which are a pleasure in themselves. You can enjoy the wildness and beauty of the North Sea coast with only a handful of steps from the front door before popping back inside to re-warm by the fire. I loved it.
