Peaceful Countryside Stay Near Dunnottar

We had a really lovely stay at the boathouse—one senior and two adults—and it worked perfectly for us. The area is quiet and peaceful, which we really appreciated, and it’s so close to Dunnottar Castle. The house itself was super comfortable with great beds and all the amenities we needed. We felt right at home. Communication with the host was friendly, and helpful. A great place to relax and enjoy the countryside.

Nice place to stay to discover the Scottish coastline

this is a very nice house wich provides you with everything you need. In case something is missing the owners are living just next to it and are very responsive, even though we never met them in person. The only downside is the master-bed, which is for two adults definitly too small (except you are on a honeymoon ;-)

Home away from home.

We LOVED staying at the Boathouse. The property was perfect for our 10 day self isolation, containing everything we needed - from laundry facilities to potato masher and cheese grater. It is a gem in the countryside, but conveniently close to grocery store. Mercedes and Gordon are gracious hosts, friendly and helpful but never invasive. We look forward to our next opportunity to stay at the Boathouse!

Mooie woning, heel proper goed bed mooie badkamers en rustig. Als ik minpuntje moet benoemen, is het beperkt servies. Als je met gezin zou verblijven moet je na elke maaltijd afwassen

Ein wunderschönes Haus, mit wirklich tollen Blick in die Landschaft. Es ist alles in der Küche vorhanden, was man benötigt, wir haben nichts vermisst.Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet. Der nächste größere Ort ist Stonehaven, wo man gut einkaufen kann. Ein Aldi ist Richtung Aberdeen in ca25 Minuten zu erreichen.Das Haus liegt super eingebettet in der Landschaft, egal was man machen möchte, ob die Natur und die spektakulären Brutgebiete an den Felsen besuchen, eine große Stadt wie Aberdeen besuchen oder ein pittoreskes kleines Küstenstädtchen wie Stonehaven, in Max 30 Autominuten ist man da.

Super Aufenthalt

Das Boathouse war sehr gemütlich und top gepflegt. Alles funktionierte einwandfrei. Die Gastleute waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, für jede Frage erreichbar. Ein Auto ist bei der Lage sicher von Vorteil. Die Gegend ist wunderschön, reiche Tierwelt.

A few shortcomings

The house was very clean and in general well equiped. Beds were comfortablr but there wasn't a kingsize and the second double was in fact a bed settee (some kind of futon) - they were comfortable but not as described. The bunk beds had very little headroom for the bottom bed user. Sadly the views of open countryside were spoiled as the field next to the house was a building site. The property sleeps 6 but there were only 5 comfortable seats in the lounge - three seater settee and two arm chairs. The coast is a good 1.3 mile walk from the property.
