• "This is by far the best accommodation we have booked and stayed at."

  Exceptionally clean and well catered for. Location is fantastic, especially if you have dogs as the golf course is on your doorstep and beach a few hundred meters away. Anyone wishing to holiday in the area will be hard pushed to find better accommodation at this level of value for money. Highly recommend.

  Cottage is very well equipped, cosy and comfortable. The views over the golf course and out to sea are stunning. The beach is a short walk away and is a very beautiful and peaceful spot. Would not hesitate to return.

• "Amazing property."

  Fantastic views of the golf course and sea, and had everything provided that we could possibly need for a relaxing few days away. We really appreciated the treats that were provided, after a long drive to get here. The cottage is wonderfully peaceful, spotlessly clean, and we also had the pleasure of meeting the friendly owner, who answered any questions that we had, and advised on quiet walks with our dog etc. In short, it is impossible to improve this cottage and the relaxing stay we had.

• "Great cottage with fantastic views."

  Booked for a week to catch up with family. Weather colder than expected but cottage was really cosy. Grandchildren loved their room. Cottage has everything you need, including bowls and towels for the dog, who loved the big garden. Lots to do close by including Cruden Bay beach, pop into the recently opened Harbour Cafe which is dog friendly, Forvie Nature Reserve, seal watching at Newburgh beach and a little further away is Aden Country Park which is great for any younger family members. The lock on the family bathroom door was stiff so may need checking, also not able to use bottom drawer in freezer as frozen solid, otherwise we have been so impressed with our stay we have already booked a return visit for next year.

  Thank you for the positive feedback, it's very much appreciated. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay in Craigievar and what Cruden Bay and the surrounding area has to offer. We would welcome you back anytime. We also appreciate you advising us of the issues with the lock on the bathroom door and the freezer drawer and have been able to address this. Thank you.

  Craigievar is definitely one of the best. We all thought it was comfortable and extremely clean. The facilities were excellent and the furniture was of high quality. The view from the cottage is fantastic.. being able to see the sea and a golf course, the boys were in Heaven! The gorgeous weather in the day and beautiful harvest moons on an evening were an extra bonus. A big thank you to the owners for renting out such a lovely home

• "This is a wonderful property, so much so that we have stayed here three times."

  It really feels like a home away from home, with everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The house is spacious, clean, and those views — we haven't tired of them yet. It's dog-friendly, with a big garden and amenities like dog bowls, towels, and poo bags available. The owners are friendly and helpful, always ensuring we had everything we needed. We enjoyed the lovely walks to the beach and Slains Castle. There are also two hotels with restaurants nearby, both welcoming dogs, making dining out very convenient. We will definitely stay here again whenever we are in the area.

• "We were given a key for the back door which wouldn't fit, so we were unable to open the back door."

  Unable to open windows in the lounge. We have stayed at many Sykes cottages over the years, and this is the first one that the owners didn't make themselves known, we never saw them all week, just to say hello and welcome even. It was also missing a radio in the kitchen, for background music. The rooms were first class and comfortable and the welcome pack was much appreciated, after a very long drive.

  Thank you for your comments. We apologise that you were unable to open the back door and lounge windows . We will look into this as we were not aware there was a problem. We are delighted you had a comfortable stay and would welcome you back anytime. Property Owner

• "We had a lovely few days at Craigievar, despite arriving during Storm Babet!"

  The cottage is warm, clean, modern, spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped, with everything you would need for your stay, and it was nice to receive the welcome pack, including wine. We had a small issue with the heating which was sorted out very quickly by the owner who lives next door. The weather was awful because of the storm, so we didn't venture far, so it was good to have Netflix as an alternative to the normal TV. The views from the cottage were still great, even in the bad weather, over the golf course towards the sea, where the waves were battering the shore in spectacular fashion, and also the imposing Slains Castle in the distance. We had a great meal in the St Olaf Hotel next door one night, very handy if you don't want to cook. We would happily return to Craigievar if we were going to stay up that way again. Thank you

• "What a wonderful week we have had at Craigievar."

  We arrived to a lovely welcome pack and were instantly amazed by how beautiful the house was and the gorgeous views! Wonderful base it had everything we needed and more. The local area is quiet - one thing you should know is the local shop only opens until 6pm (3 on Sundays) the beach is a short walk downhill and slains castle was a winner with the kids. The owners were so lovely and accommodating and not at all intrusive. I’m going to miss my morning brew watching the boats and the golfers!

  Well equipped, well situated, ample room for a family of 5. The quality of fixtures and fittings was excellent. The extra touches such as bread, milk, wine and snacks were appreciated. But also having cling film and tin foil meant we didn’t have to buy full rolls for a 10 day holiday. A great base for visiting family in the area.

  Great kitchen / dining area with plenty of space and great views from the windows. Lounge is also great with plenty of room and large TV. The beach is a short walk away and can be made into a circular walk via the footpath across the golf course. A walk to Slains Castle is also well worth it. We did lots of walking every day as there are so many places nearby. Thank you for the welcome pack and lovely clean cottage.
