Wundervolle Umgebung, sehr schönes Haus, an alles gedacht, Carepaket bei der Ankunft, Holz für Kamin vorhanden, viel Platz, direkte Sicht aufs Meer. Delfine vor der Küste direkt vor dem Haus gesehen. Einmalige Sonnenuntergänge täglich. Wir wären gerne länger geblieben und kommen gerne wieder.Etwas abenteuerliche Anfahrt vor das Haus, aber man findet einen Parkplatz. Kommunikation direkt und sehr freundlich, gute Vorabinfos.

Schönes Haus direkt am Meer

Das Haus liegt wirklich direkt am Meer und bietet traumhafte Ausblicke auf den Moray Firth. Die Anfahrt zum Parkplatz über die schmale Strasse direkt am Wasser ist anfangs etwas abenteuerlich. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Gardenstown ist ein wirklich nettes altes Fischerdörfchen und auch die Umgebung bietet viele Möglichkeiten.

Schöne Ferienunterkunft mit großem Fenster zum Meer. Da kann man den Urlaub auch bei schlechtem WEtter genießen, da der Blick aufs Meer einfach grandios ist. Das Häuschen ist komplett ausgestattet und sehr sauber.

Heavenly spot for a peaceful break

The property is in the most perfect location with a view that cannot be beaten. It was spotless, beautifully decorated and with everything we needed for our week stay. The host was available when we contacted him and patiently helped us to figure out how to work the cooker! Thank you for that Brian 😀 I am reluctant to say how beautiful Gardenstown is because I want to keep it to myself. The people, the beach, the sunsets are amazing. We will definitely go back and would love to go back to the same cottage. Thank you

Wunderschönes Ferienhaus an einem besonderen Ort

Wir haben 14 Tage in diesem besonderen Ferienhaus verbracht und wir haben es genossen. Die Wohnung ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man zum Wohlfühlen benötigt. Besonders punktet sie natürlich durch ihre außergewöhnlich guten Lage. Man hat das Meer praktisch vor der Nase. Das große Panoramafenster macht den vorhandenen Fernseher somit vollkommen entbehrlich. Jagende Möwen und vorbeiziehende Wale ließen sich von der Couch aus beobachten. Die Sonnenuntergänge sind einmalig, zumindest aus unserer Sicht. Aber auch Gardenstown selbst ist sehr schön. Strand und Hafen ist alles zu Fuß zu erreichen. Im Ort gibt es einen Lebensmittelladen, ein kleines Pub und ein liebevoll von den Einwohnern geführtes Café. Es gibt schön angelegte Küstenwanderwege in das benachbarten Dorf Crovie und auch sonst mangelt es nicht an Ausflugszielen in der näheren Umgebung. Kurz gesagt, es war ein wunderschöner Urlaub an einem sehr idyllischen Ort.
