"Thanks for a great stay in a beautiful location."
The house is very comfortable and spacious with modern interiors in a traditional setting. Especially suited to anyone who wants to get away from it all, although the local hotel serves great evening meals and is very popular plus the harbour coffee kiosk adds to the facilities on your doorstep. Very nice hosts who checked in by email to make sure all was well, plus an excellent app provided that explained everything we needed and more.

"We had such a relaxing stay at The Laurels - it is a warm and comfortable cottage with everything you could need (super comfy beds, excellent wood burner , well-equipped kitchen, and amazing showers) for the best holiday away by the sea."
The little welcoming touches from the hosts were a lovely treat on arrival. The views of the sea from the garden must be such a treat in summer - we'd love to come back! It's just a shame that the Pennan Inn a few doors down didn't reopen for the season until the week after we left!

"What a fabulous cottage, beautifully furnished, warm and with every last detail thought about."
Great to have a big fridge and oven with all the kitchen equipment of really high quality. Just a great place to stay. The showers were amazing and the beds comfortable. The location was perfect for us to explore the local area and enjoy the rough sea from a safe distance! Would absolutely recommend and stay again. We had a lovely Christmas at The Laurels.

"This was a lovely property in a beautiful location."
It was very comfortable and the owners had obviously put a lot of thought into all the home comforts. It was a perfect location for touring this area of Scotland.

"A fantastic property, so cosy and welcoming."
Recently renovated, by the looks of it, and to a very high standard.
Very well equipped and a few little surprises as well. The beds and the shower were amazing.
We enjoyed a week at the laurels and were so relaxed. Waking up in the morning to the sight and sound of the sea was so mesmerising.

"The cottage had everything you would need for a lovely stay."
The equipment in the kitchen was top notch. (Maybe a bigger cafetière). The lounge was comfortable and the recliners brilliant! The beds comfortable and showers to die for! Best bit of all though was being able to look out to sea. Fantastic place, will be back! I’m in love with Pennan and The Laurels

"This cottage is absolutely beautiful, looks small from outside but an absolute gem of a place and huge inside."
Spotless inside and everything you would need for a lovely stay from tea, and coffee ,biscuits awaiting our stay to even clothes pegs for your washing, they thought of everything. Everything inside is brand new. The Pub is 5 doors away however we only went once as they ran out of lager and to be fair very clicky. Asda 4 miles away and far from civilisation , it does state places far away but I guess I’m used to local shops etc and should have read the description of actually where it was.
If you like quiet then this is the place for you.
Peterhead prison is a must for a visit ( 40 mins away approx ) a real good day and a lovely day trip. Thank you so much x

"The Laurels is a fantastic property."
We have just spent a week in the house in beautiful Pennan. We were extremely lucky with the weather - beautiful sunrises and sunsets.
The house is thoughtfully arranged and well equipped. The beds are comfortable. The bathroom and shower room have good quality fittings. The kitchen had everything we needed.
We didn't come across a 'house book' with instructions etc - there was not a problem - just wasn't sure if we missed it.
We visited the Highland Games in Dufftown (great by the way) we bought some folding chairs to take with us - we have left these for the house in the cupboard in the kitchen - thought they would be useful for those lovely sunny evenings, sitting in front of the house taking in the stunning views.

"We have just recently spent a week at The Laurels and it was a fantastic week away which we hope to revisit soon!"
The local scenery is beautiful with beaches, coves, cliffs and harbours perfect for crabbing. However, the holiday was made perfect due to the cottage being immaculate, comfortable, contained everything you might need and looking into the crashing waves of Pennan. We had a lovely meal at The Pennan Inn which we'd highly recommend and enjoyed a lovely cuppa and amazing cakes at the Coastal Cuppie by the harbour! We cannot recommend this place enough!

"A very comfortable house done up to a very high standard in a charming wee village that you will not want to leave."
I would highly recommend staying here to anyone, clean, comfortable with everything you could want or need in a self catering property. My favourite part of the house is the wee path in the garden that leads up into the cliffs behind the cottage with a unique view of Pennan.
A perfect base for anyone who wants to see what Aberdeenshire has to offer.

"Lovely spacious cottage right on the shore of beautiful Pennan."
Gorgeous sunsets. The property has large comfy bed. Massive TV and best shower I’ve ever had. If I was to nit pick then the only thing I’d change is the two slice toaster to a four slice one! The property owner, Vicki, also sent a link to the cottage page where there was a wealth of information regarding the cottage and also recommended local places to go. Would 100% recommend this cottage to friends and family too.

"We want to say thank you for a wonderful week at The Laurels."
It was the best cottage we've ever stayed in and would highly recommend staying here. It's beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. The bathrooms are brilliant, kitchen well stocked and the beds are so comfortable. We especially loved the fantastic garden that leads up into the cliffs behind the cottage. Pennan Harbour itself is a peaceful place to stay and we'd love to come back again in the future.
Thank you for such a lovely review, as our very first guests at The Laurels we could not be more delighted. It was a pleasure to have you and would love to welcome you back again.
