Post Xmas getaway

After a busy Christmas, a last minute getaway was perfect for my family and I to unwind. We had a great time and found the property perfect for our children, who loved their own space upstairs. I would recommend and will definitely return in the future.

Fabulous!

What a fantastic week we had in Johnshaven! The house was perfect and well equipped. I loved hearing the sea from my bed and watching the waves when cooking ! We enjoyed a lovely lunch from the Lobster Pot , delicious cake and coffee from the Hidden Treasure Cafe and lovely fresh food from the Anchor Hotel. I would highly recommend this cottage and Claire was a lovely host . We can't wait to return 😊

Stunning!

This is an absolutely stunning property in a beautiful location. The decor is gorgeous and kitchen well equipped. Towels and bedding were provided and there are excellent laundry facilities. Claire (the owner) was really helpful and answered any questions promptly. I would highly recommend this property to anyone. It was especially good with our teenagers to have the extra tv in a second lounge area upstairs. I can't wait to return to this property and explore more of Scotland.

Wonderful cottage in best location

We've had a brilliant family holiday. Cottage was amazing. So well equipped, clean and the attention to detail fantastic. Layout of cottage was brilliant. Upper floor with snug/tv/play area for kids wonderful nd the kitchen/breakfast bar nd dining area very sociable and made cooking less of a chore! Johnshaven itself a lovely place to visit. Lots of fun had in the rock pools abd fishing for crabs at the harbour. Very friendly place, great wee shop and food in Anchor Hotel just awesome. Cannot wait to come back.

Great views

A very comfortable cottage with fantastic views out to the North Sea. We stayed for 2 nights and got lucky with the weather so took an enjoyable walk along the coast. Would definitely recommend a meal in the local hotel (The Anchor) especially if you like seafood. We would like to go back in the summer.

Chilled out

Our little cottage was anything but little , it was spacious and minimalist. The kitchen was well equipped and the sunken bath was luxurious. The board games etc would have be great if needed. One down side was the small double bed ,pillows and mattress flat . Apart from this it was an ideal location , positioned at the waterfront enabling exceptional tranquil experience

Excellent cottage, great location!

Johnshaven made an excellent base for exploring the area. The property has been thoughtfully renovated and was perfectly spacious and comfortable meeting all our needs. The upstairs den was very much appreciated - by us and the kids, - as was the amazing bath. It was possible to have a wonderful hot bath whilst sitting under an open velux listening to the shore - bliss!!! A well equipped kitchen, fab downstairs shower, laundry facilities, comfy living room with Netflix - all with the sea shore view. Would highly recommend and wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thanks Jen and Euan
