Customer Comments

We had an amazing time at Harbour Cottage, it’s the perfect place to get away from it all and explore a truly beautiful part of Scotland. The cottage has everything you need and is very cosy and comfortable. It was spotlessly clean and feels like home as soon as you step inside. The location is great, right by the harbour and close to some lovely beaches. Close to the cottage is the fantastic Harbour Restaurant which is run by a very friendly and lovely couple who serve the most delicious food. Booking a table here is a must if you stay at the cottage. We also had a great time on New Year’s Eve in the local pub, The Garden Arms, everyone was very welcoming and friendly, lots of fun. We really couldn’t have asked for anything better, the owners of the cottage were helpful from start to finish and I can’t recommend staying here enough. Thanks for a wonderful stay, we hope to come back soon.

Thank you so much for the use of your cosy cottage, its absolutely perfect for two people and so well equipped there is nothing more you could want. It must have been a real ‘project’ for you to start but it has been done beautifully. The weather wasn’t too bad so we could golf daily barring 2 days when it rained non-stop (its all the luck of the draw). Thank you once again and hopefully we will be in touch next year.

We absolutely fell in love with Gardenstown, & your cottage was a delight to stay in and the perfect location, right next to the harbour front.
Every evening (as we were lucky enough to have the sunshine during our stay), hubby & myself grabbed a well deserved glass of wine, sat on the bench next to the harbour, & watched the kids crab fishing, usually til late! We enjoyed the most spectacular sunsets & found the whole holiday extremely relaxing. The kids loved watching the seals butsadly missed the dolphins by 4 days!
I just wanted to say thank-you & we'll definitely visit again.

I have just had a short break of two nights at Harbour Cottage and it was lovely. It is very close to the harbour and Seatown and the house is beautifully decorated and immaculately clean. It is very quiet too, so provides a nice stress free break. Sue gives you lots of information prior to coming and is very friendly to speak to. There is flat parking outside the house and safe turning at the harbour (the streets are narrow). I would highly recommend this cottage for a short or long break. Thank you Sue for making this a lovely experience.
Forgot to say that there are lots of lovely touches in the cottage like products you can use if you need to, internet, tv's in lounge and bedroom and even games and books to use.
