Summary of reviews
Guests loved the cozy cottage with a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and ideal location for exploring the coast and nearby towns. Neighborhood and pub were fantastic. Highly recommended!
5.0 / 5.0
A lovely quaint terraced house . Kitchen is well equipped Slight sea views from upstairs bedroom windows. The main bedroom was very comfortable. Dog friendly,(however the garden is on other side of a narrow communal path, opposite front door ,although not an issue for us ). No driveway for car parking so we parked further along a narrow road, Main Street . Easy to book Good Communication with the owner . Excellent Wi-Fi . Loved strolling around the village and along the sea front roads and the old railway track to the community garden. Stoney beach, but lovely sandy beaches a short drive away and other places of interest a short drive away. If we were planning a short stay in Johnshaven again, we would consider booking this accommodation, depending on the cost / availability.

Well appointed, great location, clean, and comfortable. Property manager made us feel welcome and made sure we had all the information we needed for check in well in advance.

Not overly impressed. Much room for improvement. Repairs needed, a good clean, more comfortable sofa etc. This is the first time EVER that i have not bothered to actually clean a property before i left. Will contact the owner direct witha few issues. However, Johnshaven is beautiful. The cottage is NOT for us!

Stayed here with my husband and two teens for a 2 night stay.. House was small but cosy and we were glad the heating was on when we arrived as weather was awful!.
House is well equipped for a self-catering holiday; we did not cook much but there seemed to be plenty of utensils /pots and pans etc. Also very pleased to see more than 4 of each piece of cutlery /crockery (a pet-peeve is when places for four people only have 4 forks /plates etc -you need those extras!!!) Great location for beach walks /trips to Aberdeen /other towns. Easy to get to from A92.
I would say the house could do with a bit of a freshen up - it's nicely furnished etc but starting to look a bit 'rough around the edges'. That said I would return even as it is.
A lovely short break!

The scenery is stunning
5.0 / 5.0
We frequent Johnshaven regularly and this is our first stay at this property. A beautiful cosy wee house by the seaside with everything you need for your stay and an enclosed garden safe for children and pets to roam around .
I put 4* for the cleanliness not because the property wasn't up to standard, it was , but the few pots and cooking utensils hadn't been cleaned properly, I assume by previous guests, and put back in the cupboard dirty. It's in the property description that guests should do certain basic household chores which is a great idea to keep the service/ cleaning fee down .
In summary, we highly recommend staying at this lovely house

Nice place 10 yards from the harbour bed was comfortable shower was ok with a bit of adjustment friendly village with good pub great walks and saw dolphins one morning during our stay, walked to Gourdon 2 miles had lunch at the pub there and had a trip to St Cyrus beautiful beach and wildlife area. Easy to visit Braemar and Balmoral just over an hour away. Great to just sit by the harbour relaxing.

Cosy property, nice to come home to but within easy driving distance of cities, towns, villages and the coast. Beautiful walks from the doorstep and plenty of exploring around Johnshaven itself, where everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Alan, who lives next door and cares for the property, is very helpful, friendly and discreet. We liked the large Smart TV in the living room and another in the bedroom and the WiFi worked perfectly. Plenty of hot water on tap. All in all a very pleasant stay!

Johnshaven was a real treat. A lovely little village on the seafront. We absolutely loved it. Great walks, pub, shops and touring.
The property was good value for the money.
Perfect location!

Quaint little cottage in a friendly little village
Absolutely loved our stay. We loved everything from the cottage to the village to the locals.
The cottage was ideal for our small group including a dog. It had everything we needed, although we didn't make use of it all. The fire was set up ready to burn. Tea and coffee on the table. The garden was a sun trap.
We met 3 neighbours, including Alan of course, who was very helpful. Everyone we passed said Hello.
We didn't visit the pub, unfortunately, but only because we were out and about and sat in the garden at night to make the most of the lovely weather.
The shop was little but we'll stocked with everything you need plus more.
Basically, we would return in a second. My only regret is we couldn't stay longer.
Thank you to the host, Nathalie, for a wonderful, refreshing and homely stay.

Beautiful village
Property a little disorganised and looked tired. Bedding needs replacing, no covers on pillows and mattress- all of which were quite old. A little bit of attention to small thing like bedding and reorganising cupboards etc would help improve score. Also a note stating that garden is not attached to cottage but simply a path between would help for pet owners.

Home from home.
Great little cottage with everything you could want & more. Perfect central location. Great village feel with lovely locals. Highly recommend the Anchor Hotel & McBay's lobster shop. A visit to Starfish studio is well worth it. We will definately be back! 😀

At the heart of the village
Pretty old cottage in the heart of a lovely fishing village. The cottage was comfortable and had everything we needed for a our stay. The garden was a real bonus. The village had a couple of small shops, pub/hotel /restaurant and a coffee shop. Beautiful coastal walks from the door. Located on a stunning coastline.

A delightful location. The cottage has most things you need. My lockdown cat came too and was very happy sleeping in the sunny windows, while I walked, ate seafood at the pub, and relaxed.

Peaceful stay in Johnshaven
We had a 4 night break here in June and the house couldn’t have been in a better location. A minute from the hotel, shop and harbour.
Great food at the hotel and along the harbour the lobster shop for great seafood.Never been to Johnshaven before but it’s the nicest village in the area. Would definitely return to Johnshaven and this property.

Charming little cottage in a totally idyllic setting only downside was having to leave
From start to finish customer service was first class, the host communicated well with messages and Alan who stays next door to the property who helps with maintenance couldn't of been more friendly or helpful during our stay.Nothing was too much trouble. Total wee gem of cottage absolutely loved our break 💗

6 Harbour Place..
I’ve stayed here before,..last year..perfectly adequate,reasonably quiet..only niggle is the fact the fire was not set,nor is there ever a stock of kindling/logs to get it started.One has to go to the local shop and purchase them..it’s the last thing one wants to be doing on a wet afternoon,on arrival,(the electric storage heating is not the best !!!).I have never experienced this in any other holiday cottage I’ve been to...however apart from that,it suits my purpose as I take my dog with me and the secure garden is a bonus.

Post-Christmas break
We spent three nights in this cosy and well-equipped cottage just after Christmas. It was the perfect base for re-discovering an area I hadn't visited for many years, particularly the fabulous beach at St Cyrus. The cottage is very clean and comfortable. The photographs don't really do it justice! We had a lovely time and would definitely stay again.

Cosy cottage
We really enjoyed our stay in the cosy cottage. The neighbours are lovely and very helpful. There was no kindling or wood for the open fireplace, but the village shop sells them in bags.
Johnshaven is very picturesque and the Pubs are fun. A great place for a relaxing holiday.

Relaxing short break at peaceful fishing village
Beautiful well equipped cottage with a lovely garden , ideal for the dogs.
The cottage was well located for walks in the area, The Anchor Pub which served great meals and the local shop. Bed comfy and it had a great shower. Would definitely go back again. Alan, next door, who looks after the cottage , was very amiable , informative and chatty. Thank you Nathalie for a lovely stay.

Pleasant short stay
Our experience was let down by the fact that we could not get in! Three hours and many phone calls later, we established that where the key was, but this was after the owner hung up the phone on us.
Bed was comfortable. Sitting room seating was sadly not. No lamps, so only option was ceiling lighting.
Johnshaven is lovely, but the property is not facing the harbour. The pub in the village is excellent, which is dog friendly. We enjoyed our stay but wouldn’t return.
