Had a problem finding the house but a friendly neighbor helped when we could not contact the host. As for the house and location, it was the best VRBO we have ever stayed at. Loved the rural experience with the cows in the adjacent pasture, sheep up the road, fresh eggs just up the road. The bedrooms were excellent, the kitchen was very good, the living and dining areas wonderful.

Great place to stay

Spacious, peaceful property and, above all, warm - weather was atrocious- days of fog punctuated by rain. Lots to see and do in the area. Would highly recommend - even in the rain.

A great house in a great location. High points were the panoramic windows in the lounge breakfast area alongside the side of the bedrooms and the number of bathrooms. Overall the house is impressive and open plan which my wife and I like.On the downside the WiFi was poor and very intermittent, I replaced the leads to the TV and to the router for very little improvement. Couldn’t use the TV apps for 20 of our 14 nights, nor could we effectively both be using devices at the same time. This did cause difficulties with work and family issues. Further, whilst the kitchen was adequate the utensils, pans and baking trays could do with some improvement/replacement. As could the floor tiles in 2 of the 3 bathrooms, this observation could be expanded to some of the oak flooring and door handles on the sliding doors. Final observation was that there was more dust in the property than was to be expected after it had been cleaned

Stayed in 2018 & 19, so this was our third stay. Definitely the property/housekeeping needed attention in places and we have emailed owner with our observations.These observations did not lessen our overall enjoyment of staying at East Byreleask.

Peaceful location with stunning views

Been here now for 6 years over Christmas and new year. We love the peace and quiet and access to lovely walks with the dog. The house is ideal for those wanting to get away from it all and is equipped with everything you need. Although remote, Ellon is only 10 mins drive and Aberdeen just 30 mins so perfect if you want to get out. Highly recommended

Love this place. So peaceful!

This is our 4 Christmas and new year here and we love it. It is so peaceful and perfect for walking or just cosying up either the log fire and watching films! Aberdeen is just 30 mins away which suits us. The house has everything you could need and Alan is very accommodating. Thank you again for letting us stay

Absolute tranquility

This was our 5th stay and we love it. It’s so peaceful and has everything you could need. Allan, the host, is great at keeping in touch and always available if needed. Fully recommended for those who love walking and the peace and quiet. But close enough to Aberdeen and other surrounding town. Close to the Brewdog bar and restaurant at Ellon which allows dogs and lovely food.

A peaceful retreat in Aberdeenshire near Ellon

Set in rolling farmland not too far from the coast this spacious cottage offers a quiet retreat with a wonderful view. We were fascinated by the harvesting of the cereals and by the wildlife. We didn’t have binoculars but there were definitely some birds of prey and geese. The cottage was well equipped. We would highly recommend

Stunning country views

A beautiful well furnished private cottage with an open plan layout, providing a perfect family space for dining and spending time together. Each room was well sized and complimented with 3 bathrooms and luxurious bedding, enabling a restful stay. The centrepiece must be the stunning views, enjoyed from the living room with windows opening straight out into the enclosed garden – a delight on a bright sunny day, but equally enjoyed by the warmth of the indoor fire when the Scottish weather pours down! Allan was also very friendly and communicative accommodating us with our request.

Etwas abgelegenes Ferienhaus auf dem Land mit wundervollem Blick

Das Ferienhaus liegt etwas abgelegen und sehr ruhig in Farmland neben einer großen Weide mit Kühen und Schafen. Den letzten Kilometer dorthin fährt man auf einem sehr unebenen Feldweg mit vielen Schlaglöchern, mit einem tiefgelegten Fahrzeug ist es sehr schwierig zu fahren. Das Ferienhaus ist sehr geräumig, der Wohn- und Essbereich ist groß und offen, herausragend sind hier die großen Panoramafenster, durch die man einen wunderbaren Blick in die Landschaft hat. Die drei Schlafräume sind sehr groß, die Betten sind sehr bequem, es gibt viel Stauraum in Schränken und Kommoden. WLAN ist von mittlerer Geschwindigkeit, es könnte schneller sein. Leider haben wir das Ferienhaus nicht so sauber vorgefunden wie es von anderen Urlaubern beschrieben worden ist. Z.B.: Schmutz und Haare in den Ecken der Fussböden, verdreckte Filter in der Abzugshaube über dem Herd, schmutzige Küchenschubladen, usw. Und leider hat das schöne große Schlafzimmer im Erdgeschoss nach Zigarettenrauch gerochen, obwohl das Haus ausdrücklich als Nichtraucherhaus vermietet wird, sodass wir dieses Zimmer nicht nutzen konnten.

Best of both Worlds

This property is even more stunning in person than in the photos. Beautiful scenery as far as the eye can see, including distant views of the sea! Incredibly peaceful but really convenient for the nearby village of Ellon, a giant Tesco (10 minutes away) and only half hour drive to Aberdeen. The host was so thoughtful leaving us supplies for a cup of tea after a long journey. Everything you could possibly need has been considered from a hairdryer and towels to a washing machine. A superb place to escape. A light, open space with modern facilities that you won't want to leave. We are very likely to come back again in the future!

Kurzer Aufenthalt im Nirgendwo

Das wirklich sehr gut ausgestattete Haus entsprach zu 100% der Beschreibung und wird von uns bedenkenlos weiterempfohlen. Es ist sehr schön und ruhig gelegen, aber trotzdem Stadtnah. Lediglich die regelmäßig vorbeifliegenden Helikopter trüben etwas die Ruhe. Das einzige was dem Haus noch fehlt, ist eine Ladestation für Elektroautos.

Super family accommodation

Myself and my husband visited with my father in law and 3 young children. We have family around Aberdeen and wanted somewhere to base ourselves whilst we visited them. The accommodation is beautiful and very well equipped. The layout of the property worked well and an incredibly comfortable stay was had by all. We look forward to returning in the future. Many thanks.

This house can only be recommended. It was spacy, spotlessly clean, well equipped and extremely quiet. The only problem is that our time passed way to quickly.
