Fantastic cottage in a fantastic location

Probably the best VRBO cottage that we've ever stayed in. Cozy, warm, beautifully presented. But, it's the little touches that Claudia incorporates that makes this place special. Plus, Pennan is magical.

Old Fishing Village gem

Harbor View is tucked into the cliff side with its beautiful village mates in a breathtaking row of color! The cottage was perfect for relaxing, cooking, happy sleeping and enjoying a wood fire stove.

Wonderful house

Lovely spacious, clean, cosy house in my favourite in Scotland. Fab added extras such as logs for the stoves, fresh cut flowers, and the welcome pack were very much appreciated. Highly recommended.

By the waters edge, The Harbour House looks out over the pretty harbour in Pennan and is a delightful and calm place to relax. It was clean and wholesome when we arrived and has everything you need for a long or short stay. The bedding (very important!) was clean and crisp and all the appliances worked well and were easy to use. The Pennan Inn, a few doors away, has a limited but delicious menu and highly recommended. We had huge fun exploring the local area and there's plenty of walking for the more energetic. We had a perfect stay here!

Beautiful property in an Idyllic Location

This property was the perfect getaway for our family. Pennan is a beautiful place and we were immediately impressed by the house’s location, layout, the furnishings and the welcoming fire that was in the wood stove. Everything was exactly as described. The house was very nicely equipped and perfect for a family stay. Claudia stayed in touch throughout the process and we were made to feel very welcome. We loved this place so much and would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing coastal getaway.

Perfect retreat

Harbour house was perfect for my stay in Pennan. The welcome pack was appreciated. The kitchen had everything you need to prepare meals. The bathroom extras were a nice thought, though didn’t use them. Communication with Claudia was exceptional. A comfortable place to rest and relax.

Das Haus bot alles, was man braucht. Von der Kaffeekapsel über Tee bis zum Waschpulver. Die Ausstattung der Küche war super und auch sonst ist das Haus sehr liebevoll eingerichtet. Es fehlt an nichts. Die Aussicht ist ebenfalls toll, da das Haus direkt am Meer liegt. Pennan ist wunderschön und ruhig. Die Leute sind sehr nett. Der Kontakt mit Claudia, der Vermieterin, war unkompliziert und sehr nett. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Erholsam und schön

Wir waren 5 Freunde und haben die Zeit im Habour House genossen. Vermutlich waren wir die ersten Gäste der Saison, da wir das Haus erstmal aufheizen mussten - aber dann war es perfekt für uns. Toll ausgestattete Küche, zwei gemütliche Wohnzimmer mit Kamin ... alles sehr authentisch eingerichtet. Claudia ist eine tolle Gastgeberin - alles war vorbereitet und der Kontakt sehr angenehm.

Excellent house with a great view

We had a great stay in Pennan. The house was spacious, clean and comfy with everything we needed - including toys and games for our son. The views from the kitchen and living room were fantastic and we enjoyed the log fire to keep us warm in the evening.

A warm welcome to a fantastic house. Plenty of space for 2 adults and 4 teenagers. Lots to see and do, but at a wonderfully relaxed pace. The sunsets were stunning too. If you go, make sure you check out The Coastal Cuppie too!

PERFECT PENNAN

Absolutely idyllic Harbourside House in Pennan. A fantastic spot, to relax and unwind. The house is extremely comfortable and Claudia our host has thought of everything to make your stay perfect. Great quality beds and bedding, all fuel for fire supplied, very thoughtful and appreciated Welcome Basket, she has even created a basket of toiletries including, disposable razors, plasters, paracetamol etc. Furniture and fixings an eclectic mix of old and new, but beautifully blended to make a 'welcoming atmosphere'. Definitely highly recommended.

Magical Hideaway by the Sea

A charming and comfortable seaside cottage in the lovely village of Pennan. The Harbour House has stunning views of the North Sea as the centerpiece of the accommodations. The home is tastefully decorated and everything needed was available. Claudia was responsive and accommodated our request for an early check in. She made us feel right at home on arrival, taking us on a tour of the home explaining the details, and offering a lovely welcome basket. She even had a fire going as it was a cool, blustery day. It was a perfect mix of accessible isolation. Be sure to check out Cullykahn just to the west. It’s an amazing view of the cliffs with a beach down below. The promontory has remains of a Neolithic hill fort which, although hiding in the grass is still totally amazing. We will definitely book here again.
