• "This is a superb cottage with all the facilities and equipment provided."

  The cottage was very clean comfortable and easy to find. A decent size fully enclosed garden was great for our dogs. Although St Combs hasn't a lot of amenities and is a small village, the walks along the beach was a bonus. Fraserburgh was only 4 miles away so supermarkets were on your doorstep. All in all we had a great stay and would highly recommend this property.

  The facilities were second to none and in coming to Scotland for a lot of years this cottage ranked as one of the best we have stayed in.would definitely return again if the cottage became available. F. Homer

  Ideal for cycling, beach combing, and visiting the surrounding villages. So many things to keep busy or just relax in cosy coastal cottage. Perfect holiday.

• "Could not fault this stunning cottage."

  Has all the comfort of home, very clean and well maintained, be aware of the steep steps upstairs though if have mobility issues.Could do with extra frying pan especially if 3 or 4 people staying. The garden is a perfect sun trap and fully enclosed so was perfect for Tia to wander around. The village itself is very quiet and not much in the way of amenities, but Fraserburgh is only 5 min drive where you can find everything you need (McIntosh butchers has a fantastic range). The beach is a 5 minute walk from the cottage very quiet and dog friendly. Really enjoyed a relaxing evening in this cosy cottage after visiting local area which is full of stunning views and quaint fishing villages.

• "Very sweet little cottage and located next to a lovely beach."

  Friendly village location. It was very tidy and easy to stay in. Quiet location with a good walk. Beach to the right had quite a lot of smelly rubbish to get pass after about a 15min walk from St Combs. Obviously not a lot the owners can do about it but a sad reminder of the impact we have on our environment. Once passed this section it opened out to a beautiful sandy beach with sand dunes. We were the only ones on it. Walk to the left from St Combs and you will find another beautiful sandy beach. St Combs beach itself is also lovely but we love to walk along the beach and explore! Cottage itself is well equipped and maintained.

  I have mobility issues so found the stairs a bit challenging and the double bed mattress was too soft for our liking. The parking entrance was a little tight for my vehicle too. That asides we enjoyed our stay and the locals were all really friendly. Scott, Shona & Mia too.

  There wasn't anything missing that we could think of. The only downside to our stay was the WiFi which was dismal. The only place we could get it was the kitchen, the chair nearest the door in the livingroom and the closest side to the front door on the bench outside. This is the only reason we have given 4* as everything else was perfect.

• "Very nice comfortable cottage with all that’s needed."

  We always take a freezer box with prepared meals because there’s not a lot of places to eat out, something to keep in mind. There is a good fish and chip shop in the village and Chinese and Indian take outs in Fraserburgh. Lovely to have the owners nearby and very helpful calling to see if there was anything we needed. Plenty of things for children in an upstairs trunk if you have children with you. Would recommend to anyone.

• "A really lovely two bed cottage, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay."

  A bit of attention to detail could be given to some of the rooms, touch up of the skirting boards and fix squeaky doors and hinges etc, however a very clean and well presented place. The skylight on the landing is in need of attention though as very drafty, didn't shut properly and when it snowed as hard as it did when we were there it started to come in the house through the gaps!! The master bedroom is huge but the mattress was too soft for us and a bit spring-y in the back. Might need a change. The out house is awesome as a great storage space particularly for us as we were there for two weeks. The kitchen was well equipped, however, we had to buy ourselves a bigger pan as the ones provided were just trying pans or saucepans. WiFi was surprisingly good in the kitchen particularly which meant we could work from there no problem. Best bit? The village it's in is right on the most BEAUTIFUL coast line and beach. Just stunning, lost loads of time just walking up and down nearly as far as the lighthouse near Peterhead! Thanks Fay and Zander!

  The cottage is very comfortable and its situation in the centre of the village puts everything on-hand. There is everything you need for a decent duration of stay but some tucked away to stop crowding the space. The TV package could do with an upgrade so at least so the main terrestrial channels are available and the shower temperature more consistent. The neighbourhood is extremely friendly and helpful.

• "We had a good week at Coastal Cottage."

  The beds were fine and we slept well. Kitchen was well equipped. Shower ok but it was a bit awkward to use the flexible hose. The house was spotless but we had wash up some of the cups and cutlery as they were a bit sticky. The fridge was quite temperamental and actually froze two cucumbers and the tomatoes! We think the door was a bit on the wonk. We have a larger type car/ people carrier and it was difficult to park in the drive if people were parked opposite- which they always were. We were blocked in the first day so subsequently we parked on the road. But a smaller car would be fine. Internet access was good. However the TV was very old school and was not smart so you couldn't link or screen cast to it and the channels on offer were very basic Personally we found the sofa a bit uncomfortable as it was quite low and lacked support. It would have been nice to have a couple of TV tables as we prefer a table and chairs as opposed to being perched on a high stool at the breakfast bar. Another small issue was the complete lack of privacy in the garden. Also the garden wasn't small dog friendly as there were gaps under the gate. However the neighbours were really nice and friendly and loved our little dog! There is a small shop in St combs selling a limited range of basics at a high price so you need to drive to fraserburgh to find a supermarket. Apart a very indifferent fish an chip shop there are no other eateries in the village. These are very minor issues and I have no problem recommending the cottage. One last note- the stairs are steep and twisty. Anyone with any mobility issues would struggle to get upstairs.

• "When planning a holiday with Sykes I always put time and effort into this to ensure to the best of our ability we get nice accommodation."

  Plus very positive reviews for this cottage and at nearly £700 for the week felt it must be a good cottage. Upon arrival all looked very good with the exception of the sofa and the stairs to the bedrooms. In the first instance the stair was very precipitous and as older people found this really scary going up and down! Given the nature of the stair this had not been highlighted in the blurb for cottage. The sofa in the lounge (I feel) had seen better days and as tall people we found it extremely uncomfortable with no support. My husband had to use a garden chair for support as the sofa had exacerbated pain in his back to the point he could hardly walk and the bed did not help either!! This leads me onto the main bed where the mattress was awfully soft - absolutely no support and you could feel the divan beneath and I'll point out that neither of us are overweight! Also the sheets on the bed should have been thrown out as they were bobbly and not fit for purpose. On a positive note the cottage was lovely and clean but would definitely never stay here again.

  Good food in Fraserburgh and other places we visited. Unfortunate that the local restaurant has closed but the chippy was fine. Not far too the RSPB by Loch of Strathbeg, more fabulous beach (and seals in the surf) hidden away at Rattray and Aden Country Park (inc farming museum); Peterhead prison museum worth a visit too. The only downside about the cottage for us was a bed that was a bit soft for our liking, but I expect others may find it just right. The rest of it worked well for us.
