"Beautiful well equipped cottage in a wonderful location."
-
"Our second stay and still can't anything bad about this place."
It has everything and more. Sleep like a baby when I stay here. Had 1 setback about remote for the fire. Emailed Elizabeth and she rang back within 5 minutes explaing about it. Long story short it has manual controls. Lots of lovely walks near by. Take the walk from whitehills to Banff.....the beach is amazing. 20 out of 10 for this cottage and the area

"Very nice cottage, with everything we needed."
-
"Amazing Cottage."
. We had been to Whitehills the year before and love the area and this cottage has blow us away compared to the cottage we stayed in on our previous stay. We couldn’t fault anything.

"A lovely well equipped cottage with a fabulous view, very clean and comfortable, just perfect!"
-
"The property was impeccably presented and had all the necessary needs for a lovely short break."
Because my wife has mobility problems she found the stairs to the upstairs bedrooms a problem.Because the toilet was on the ground floor It was a particular drawback especially during the night. Apart from that we had a lovely relaxing holiday.

"It was a lovely little cottage to stay in, quite deceiving from the outside, as quite large inside."
It was warm and cosy and convenient for visiting my daughter who lives in Alvah. We would definitely visit the cottage again. We visited the seafield Arms 3 nights for drinks and once for food. The food was excellent and great choice of beers. Very helpful and friendly pub. We bought from the deli at the premier shop which was very nice, all within a few minutes walk from the cottage. The tin opener didn’t work so I had to ask a neighbour to open 2 tins of tuna for me. She was very obliging. We could only find 1 mirror in the bathroom, I would suggest maybe some mirrors in the bedrooms. Another benefit would be a mirror over the sink in bathroom as my husband struggled to bend down to use the small shaving mirror. Another benefit would be bath sheets in the bathroom as we are all tall people. The kitchen was stocked with useful condiments if needed.

"Fantastic cottage providing everything you need for your break."
Doggy towels and throws for the sofa ensure your pet also has a home from home stay. Would definitely stay again

"Lovely place to stay."
Spotless and very comfortable. Had everything we needed and more. The little extras such as dog towels, throws and lots more made it exceptional for us. Beautiful area right on the coast.

"Loved the cottage, Compliments to the housekeeper it was spotless, everything you need in the kitchen to cook yourself, the local fishmonger on the harbour not to be missed, straight from the boat to the shop, try their Cullen skink fabulous."
Local shop is brilliant and has everything you could need, local pub 2 mins from shop very friendly and they do food. The cottage is warm, the mattress is sooo good (never commented on mattress before) slept really well it is so quiet at night. Long walk down to Banff along the coast path really good did miles every day and there is a lovely beach. As an intro to the n. east coast of Scotland I love it will be back❤️

"The cottage was lovely."
The beds were extremely comfortable. It had everything we needed for our family holiday and was in a great location for lots of exploring! Lots of coastal walks, harbors, fresh air and ice-cream to be had. Our son particularly enjoyed the local park with a fantastic play fishing boat. We would recommend it at as great base for a family holiday.

"Lovely comfortable cottage."
Everything you need. Our technical difficulty with the tv was dealt with quickly and efficiently by the hosts ( our lack of knowledge!! ). Fantastic local fish shop!! Thoroughly enjoyed our week.

"What a lovely cottage and beautifully furnished."
The view from the window overlooking the sea was mesmerising and the sunsets stunning. This is such a comfortable place to stay. It was warm and cosy. We wanted for nothing. The local residents were smiley and friendly and there is a pottery in the village which is very special. This is a place to relax and forget about the stresses of life. Having a 9am check out was a bit of a rush but we would love to stay here again. Thank you.

"Great cotttage in beautiful village"
-
"Very comfortable stay again at 28 Low Shore."
Could do with a grab rail for getting out the bath and another to ensure safety in the shower. The bathroom ventilator needs cleaning as it was not working effectively. Pleased that folding chairs and a table was provided for sitting out.
-
"Beautiful cottage with all home comforts and a view over the sea from the lounge and bedroom window."
Lovely quiet location with couple of minutes walk to the marina. Only small drawback no mirrors in rooms, only mirror available was on bathroom cabinet so awkward for drying hair (3 females on holiday!!) and husband found it awkward for shaving as cabinet wasn't near the sink.
-
"Had a great holiday at 28 Low Shore and would definitely return some day."
-
"Fantastic cottage equipped with everything you could possibly need , comfortable beds,peace and quiet,amazing view from the lounge window."
-
"A nicely appointed cottage in a surprisingly quiet location (hardly anyone about, little traffic, plentiful public parking etc) with a nice outlook to the sea."
Less than a minute to be at the water’s edge and a nice walk along the coast towards Banff. Circa 15 minute walk around coast to a very well equipped playground and sandy beach if you’re with children. Village is quiet and has a pub doing interesting local meals, a useful little shop for all your immediate needs and a nice fish and chip cafe with takeaway. Staying mid-May the light is still with you towards 10pm and some interesting bird life can often be seen around and about. I would happily recommend staying here for a peaceful and stress-free experience if that’s what you are looking for. David

"A wonderful week spent at 28 Low Shore."
Perfect location for a relaxing and peaceful holiday. The cottage is beautiful and has absolutely everything we needed for a fantastic stay. Hoping to book again for the summer.

"Just returned from this lovely cottage on the Low Shore with the sea right on your doorstep Cant praise the facilities and location enough well worth a visit We struck it lucky with the weather from day 1, with sunny days all the way which meant that all the walks especially the Banff Links were a delight to do with the dogs Accommodation is lovely, caters for everything and best of all is very close to the Seafield Arms were the Locals are really friendly and cant do enough for you and the dogs Did we all have a great time."
...... yes... would I go back.... most definitely
-
"Excellent cottage, super clean and really appreciated the simple furnishings, added a real sense of calm and relaxation."
-
"We had a great week away."
The area is so peaceful it was the perfect escape. Really well equipped kitchen. Really clean property. My daughter and I struggled a bit though as the mattresses were memory foam...for many this is great...for us it just meant we were too warm and not firm enough. Three bedrooms is great but worth noting the third bedroom is very small and has the slope of the roof over your head. Owner is great and communicated really well...thank you!!
