We stayed as part of a cycling holiday. Our hosts (Kim & Richard) were accommodating with storing our bicycles securely. Kim & Richard were amazingly accommodating throughout our stay and were lovely to interact with. The breakfast was excellent with absolutely no shortage of options or enough to eat! Our room was very comfortable and even had a separate sitting/TV lounge adjoining which was more than expected when booking. Nice big shower and bathroom which was immaculately clean. We would absolutely stay again if we were in the area!

The house was comfortable, cozy, ample, clean, with all the amenities that you could think of. Yet, above all, Kim, the host, couldn't be any more helpful, kind and attentive. I regret we only stayed one night there.

David Spain

Lovely B&B and our wonderful host Kim had thought of everything. Lots of nice touches, like providing fruit and snacks. Fabulous, generous breakfast and she went to a lot of trouble for our dietary requirements. The room (and sitting room) was very clean and comfortable.

Louise United Kingdom

Brilliant hospitality in rural Aberdeenshire. Very comfortable and clean rooms in lovely setting.

Isobel United Kingdom

the place was just perfect! it felt like a visit to a friend or relative. we had plenty of space and privacy in our rooms and a little sitting room. the hosta are very helpful but also respectful and aware of our space.

Ania United Kingdom

Kim and Richard were the kindest B&B owners ever. The breakfast they made us was absolutely lovely and they spent over an hour helping us plan our route. Richard printed out maps for us with routes marked -and very helpfully marked routes we should not take as boring! The rooms were extremely comfortable and everything was immaculate. Could not have asked for a better stay.

Sarah United States of America

This bed and breakfast is a one off absolute gem. The location is beautiful and the rooms nicely comfortable with everything you need. What was most impressive about our stay was the host Kim, she was beyond accommodating and made our stay that extra bit special. We would love to visit again sometime . Cannot recommended this place enough :-)
