Hi Laurna,
What a great review - thank you - and delighted you enjoyed your stay.
For anyone considering booking please note that unfortunately we cannot guarantee dolphins and orca whale sightings from inside the cottage :) it is truly special to have that happen, and to be there to witness it - nature in the wild at it's best...
However, it is always a possibility.
Thanks again,
Brian
Wunderschönes Ferienhaus in traumhafter Lage direkt am Moray Firth! Modern, sauber und sehr komfortabel eingerichtet – mit großartigem Meerblick und ruhiger Umgebung. Perfekt zum Entspannen und Erkunden der Küste. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Thank you.

Wundervolle Umgebung, sehr schönes Haus, an alles gedacht, Carepaket bei der Ankunft, Holz für Kamin vorhanden, viel Platz, direkte Sicht aufs Meer. Delfine vor der Küste direkt vor dem Haus gesehen. Einmalige Sonnenuntergänge täglich. Wir wären gerne länger geblieben und kommen gerne wieder.Etwas abenteuerliche Anfahrt vor das Haus, aber man findet einen Parkplatz. Kommunikation direkt und sehr freundlich, gute Vorabinfos.
Das Haus liegt wirklich direkt am Meer und bietet traumhafte Ausblicke auf den Moray Firth. Die Anfahrt zum Parkplatz über die schmale Strasse direkt am Wasser ist anfangs etwas abenteuerlich. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet.
Gardenstown ist ein wirklich nettes altes Fischerdörfchen und auch die Umgebung bietet viele Möglichkeiten.
Fantastische Aussicht! Mehr Meerblick kann man nicht haben😊 Das Häuschen ist sehr schön und für den ersten Frühstück war auch schon gesorgt - vielen Dank! Empfehlen wir gerne weiter.
Schöne Ferienunterkunft mit großem Fenster zum Meer.
Da kann man den Urlaub auch bei schlechtem WEtter genießen, da der Blick aufs Meer einfach grandios ist.
Das Häuschen ist komplett ausgestattet und sehr sauber.
The property is in the most perfect location with a view that cannot be beaten. It was spotless, beautifully decorated and with everything we needed for our week stay. The host was available when we contacted him and patiently helped us to figure out how to work the cooker! Thank you for that Brian 😀 I am reluctant to say how beautiful Gardenstown is because I want to keep it to myself. The people, the beach, the sunsets are amazing. We will definitely go back and would love to go back to the same cottage. Thank you
Wir haben 14 Tage in diesem besonderen Ferienhaus verbracht und wir haben es genossen. Die Wohnung ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man zum Wohlfühlen benötigt. Besonders punktet sie natürlich durch ihre außergewöhnlich guten Lage. Man hat das Meer praktisch vor der Nase. Das große Panoramafenster macht den vorhandenen Fernseher somit vollkommen entbehrlich. Jagende Möwen und vorbeiziehende Wale ließen sich von der Couch aus beobachten. Die Sonnenuntergänge sind einmalig, zumindest aus unserer Sicht. Aber auch Gardenstown selbst ist sehr schön. Strand und Hafen ist alles zu Fuß zu erreichen. Im Ort gibt es einen Lebensmittelladen, ein kleines Pub und ein liebevoll von den Einwohnern geführtes Café. Es gibt schön angelegte Küstenwanderwege in das benachbarten Dorf Crovie und auch sonst mangelt es nicht an Ausflugszielen in der näheren Umgebung. Kurz gesagt, es war ein wunderschöner Urlaub an einem sehr idyllischen Ort.
