"Fantastic holiday!"
The house has been completed to a really high specification with lovely homely additions to keep us warm in our November stay like under floor heating and the log burner. The location is quiet and private with wildlife spots including badger and hare, along with the myriad of birds using the bird feeder.
Certainly worth the long drive up for a brilliant week of playing the provided games and making use of the huge wine fridge.

"Had an amazing stay at Bullpens, it was perfectly located to explore the local area including Portsoy, Sandend & Cullen."
We particularly enjoyed visiting the Old Kirk Bistro which is around a mile walk from Bullpens. We also loved visiting The Glenfiddich distillery & Bin of Cullen. Such a relaxing week with friends and it was great to return to a comfortable home from home on an evening and sit in-front of the fire! Our host was super friendly & the information we received prior to arrival was really helpful. Thank you for a perfect week!

"Probably the best property we have stayed in."
A small thing but we would have preferred bath sheets as opposed to bath towels as they are larger. We did experience the low water pressure which affected the electric shower downstairs. If this could be remedied it would be marvellous.
Thank you for a lovely week.
Dear Guest,
thank your for your 5-star review and glad you enjoyed your stay at the Bullpens.
We have placed an order for some bath sheets and they should be available for your next visit.
The low water pressure will be harder to rectify as we may need a water tank outside. Lets see if our plumber can help on this one..
Hoping to see you again soon.
Regards,
The Owners.

"Sometimes you do not want to write these reviews because it will increase the bookings and we might not get back, but that is selfish."
The Bullpens for us is just perfect. Even with the Grandchildren this year. But when they left it returned to perfect peace and quiet, great walks up in the hills or around the shore, the beach at Sandend nice and quiet. The house was as it was in July 22, well maintained,the washing machine hood and cooking hob foxed us, top of the range technology where we are used to old school. Just as well we had the kids.A really lovely weekend.
Dear Guest,

"The Bullpens is an excellent property, the type of property you would love to own."
Beautiful flowers and generous welcome pack were waiting for us on our arrival, a special touch.
The property is located close enough to the sea front to walk both east and west of Sandend. Sandend itself is a picture perfect fishing village with an excellent beach.
The beaches along this coastline were all looked after by the communities and very well kept, and so are the public conveniences.
We came back to Bullpens after superb walks each day and warmed up with a roaring log fire.
Our only slight discomfort was the sofa. Found it quite low and during the evening we sort of slid off it and have to reposition the cushions.
We will definitely recommend this property.
Dear Guest,
Thank you for your feedback.
We will be in touch regarding the sofa for more information.
Hoping to see you back soon.

Really beautiful and well equipped kitchen and lovely flow to the cottage with an exceptionally high standard finish.
Dear guest,
thank you for your feedback.
We are glad you liked the Bullpens and apologies for the TV position.
Due to the layout of the living area we were limited to installing the Smart TV on the wall. There is however, a heavy-duty wall bracket which permits adjustments to the tilt and horizontal swing.

"The property is located in a beautiful area of Scotland with lots to do both locally and a little further afield."
As a place to stay it is perfect. We were welcomed by David who was friendly, helpful and a pleasure to meet. The house is beautifully designed and the finishes are top quality. As we were 3 generations staying together the downstairs bedroom was very welcome for my mother but any of the bedrooms would have been ideal. Each individually decorated and very comfortable.
The bathrooms were clean and modern; and the kitchen had everything you needed to cook every day or just to enjoy the recommended local fish and chips or local farm bought produce.
We are already planning to come back and would love to bring more family with us next time.
Thank you for having us!

"A beautiful property with plenty of space for everyone and a fantastic wood burning stove."
The outdoor area for children was amazing, our boys were very excited. A private garden, a shared garden with swing ball, a badminton net and another garden with football goals! We were working and heading to school while our house completed, but would have made even better use of these areas had we been on holiday. A lovely offering of wine, cheese and grapes on arrival, which was a nice touch. Ran by hosts who helped when we needed it from introductions, to information on the farm shop opening hours at the end of the drive, to bringing a hot water bottle when our child had earache. A great place!
