Lovely wee cottage with everything you need in a fantastic part of Scotland Amazing wee pub , staff very helpful The scenery is stunning

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

Thanks for a great stay, lovely wee town. Cottage has everything you need.

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.

The property was homely with some nice features. A good base for exploring the area.

Everything was fine 🙂

Lovely house However smaller than we thought and less places to walk the dogs Very clean and easily found Just not for us

Just what we needed for a short break

We had a such a lovly stay at your holiday let we will be definitely book to stay again thank you so much

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!

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.

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.

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! 😀

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.

Nice cottage in a perfect location. Johnshaven is so peaceful you relax the minute you step out of the car and smell the sea air. The anchor Hotel is amazing for dinner

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.

A cosy cottage in picturesque fishing village.Well equipped with everything you might need .Full sized cooker and well equipped kitchen.lovely fire and comfortable bed .Anchor hotel a short walk away even does a takeaway service .Village shop well stocked with all items including logs .

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.

Had a lovely time, cottage was lovely, everything we needed. Would come back lovely pretty town.

Would definitely recommend this cottage, we had such a lovely time.

Quiet location,well equipped,friendly helpful neighbour.Less clutter and better vacuum would experience.Shower head poor.

Perfect for a family of four. Plenty space inside and outside with a nice garden. Within easy reach of Stonehaven and Montrose as well as St Cyrus Beach.

Cottage is lovely, just what is needed for a short break. Johnshaven is a lovely peaceful destination.

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 💗

The cottage is in a great place and is as described

Lovely harbour village with property close to seafront and all local amenities. Property itself ideal for small family group. All in all excellent break

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
