We loved the Old Net Shed. It is a good sized cottage on the sea front. It had everything we needed and is decorated really nicely. It is very homely. The weather was poor but the cottage is cosy with a wood burner. Whitehills is a village with a good pub/restaurant, a decent supermarket and a church converted into a pottery. Banff is a good walk away, but also has an hourly bus service.
