Lovely cottage
Swallow Cottage
We are a family of 4 plus a dog.
Lovely, roomy cottage. Clean and tidy. Well equipped, with plenty of crockery, glasses, mugs, cooking utensils etc.
Nice welcome of some shortbread for us and chews for our doggie!
Very dog friendly.
A little off the beaten track, but lovely peaceful setting, overlooking the fields to the river below. Coast and lovely fishing villages are around 30mins drive - Portsoy Fish and chips are a must - delish!!
Jason and Ally were fabulous hosts - there if you needed them but not intrusive at all. Lovely, helpful people who always ready to chat - even though they are very busy.
Log burner was a highlight, lovely and cosy on the cold, frosty nights.
Only a couple of negatives (but didn’t affect our stay greatly) upstairs floorboards are a little creaky, but it is a converted farm building so only to be expected.
On home and away site it does say there is a dishwasher but there isn’t one in Swallow Cottage - I’m sure this description will be easily rectified.
Don’t hesitate to book - you will love it and you’ll be well looked after.
Overall - a lovely stay and would not hesitate to stay here again if we were in this area.
Thanks for a lovely stay Jason and Ally.
From The Russell’s and their hairy son!
