Lovely house with a stunning view

We loved the house for its standard and location. The house is very spacious, exceptionally equipped (with a separate laundry and utility room) and very clean. We traveled 6 adults and 2 toddlers and there was plenty room for everyone. The view to the sea is just stunning, you could sit by the window in the living room and look at the sea for hours, sipping your nightcup. It's also a very short walk from Banff harbour, wide beach and shops. We loved it!

Amazing house and worth the money.

Booked house for my 27th birthday. Walked in and just thought wow. House was so clean. Had everything we needed. It was huge, just what we were looking for, was a shame there didn’t end up being 10 of us and only 6 but because just so much room. It was amazing. As stated right on the waterfront, beautiful beautiful views. Hot tub was great! Had all the main necessities you needed in kitchen/bathroom. Owner had all the information you needed in the guest book from the hot tub from places to shop and eat. Very quiet area. Banff was very cute to visit. Lovely walks. Would 100% book again for longer too. Two nights just wasn’t quite enough. We all had a great weekend.

Family getaway

We had the best time. The house is beautiful, decor is stunning and the views and breath taking. The house is clearly cleaned to the highest standard and everything is provided and well thought of. Only a couple of things we would of liked is a little outdoor space for the kids to run about as the nearest park we found was a 1.1 mile walk (although it was a beautiful walk on a sunny day) and the check out time was a bit early having to get all 9 of us fed and the mess cleared up and everything packed up all before 10am. Could not recommend this place enough. Hopefully we will be back. Thanks for a delightful and relaxing stay.

Fantastic house with stunning views

We had a great time staying for 5 nights. The property is spotless and the views from the lounge were outstanding. Facilities were great for a family with older children and partners. This was a great base for exploring the area and we can recommend Suds Surf school for stand up paddleboarding, such fun!
