The house is spacious and had everything we needed. There is a view of the countryside from the large windows in the sitting area. It is handy for exploring the surrounding countryside. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Clean and comfortable house with everything you need , it is in a superbly quiet location , so peaceful, my only gripe is, the decking outside needs to be reconditioned, holes appearing in it and looking a bit shabby, but don’t let that put you off, this was my third time here and it definitely will not be my last

Great place to stay

Spacious, peaceful property and, above all, warm - weather was atrocious- days of fog punctuated by rain. Lots to see and do in the area. Would highly recommend - even in the rain.

Lovly Cottage in the Contryside

We had an incredible stay at this charming Cottage. The peaceful Atmosphere, open felds and cozy interior created a perfect retreat during our Vacation. The Host is very nice and provided us with very good Tipps for our stay.

The house is gorgeous and was just the perfect home away from home. When we arrived there was a lot of black dog hair everywhere including in the bed. This didn’t bother us too much as we have dogs ourselves golden retrievers and we just cleaned it up. We did have a problem with the WiFi not working however Allan dealt with this immediately and had an engineer out on Monday and fixed which was fantastic. Overall though we have a fantastic stay with the added bonus of our lovely cow(actual cows) neighbours who our golden retriever solo ended up getting kisses from 🤭 we will definitely be back and appreciate Allan’s hospitality and quickness in resolving the WiFi. Thank you for a lovely stay

Had a problem finding the house but a friendly neighbor helped when we could not contact the host. As for the house and location, it was the best VRBO we have ever stayed at. Loved the rural experience with the cows in the adjacent pasture, sheep up the road, fresh eggs just up the road. The bedrooms were excellent, the kitchen was very good, the living and dining areas wonderful.

Stayed in 2018 & 19, so this was our third stay. Definitely the property/housekeeping needed attention in places and we have emailed owner with our observations.These observations did not lessen our overall enjoyment of staying at East Byreleask.

Love this place. So peaceful!

This is our 4 Christmas and new year here and we love it. It is so peaceful and perfect for walking or just cosying up either the log fire and watching films! Aberdeen is just 30 mins away which suits us. The house has everything you could need and Alan is very accommodating. Thank you again for letting us stay

Peaceful location with stunning views

Been here now for 6 years over Christmas and new year. We love the peace and quiet and access to lovely walks with the dog. The house is ideal for those wanting to get away from it all and is equipped with everything you need. Although remote, Ellon is only 10 mins drive and Aberdeen just 30 mins so perfect if you want to get out. Highly recommended

Absolute tranquility

This was our 5th stay and we love it. It’s so peaceful and has everything you could need. Allan, the host, is great at keeping in touch and always available if needed. Fully recommended for those who love walking and the peace and quiet. But close enough to Aberdeen and other surrounding town. Close to the Brewdog bar and restaurant at Ellon which allows dogs and lovely food.

A peaceful retreat in Aberdeenshire near Ellon

Set in rolling farmland not too far from the coast this spacious cottage offers a quiet retreat with a wonderful view. We were fascinated by the harvesting of the cereals and by the wildlife. We didn’t have binoculars but there were definitely some birds of prey and geese. The cottage was well equipped. We would highly recommend

Stunning country views

A beautiful well furnished private cottage with an open plan layout, providing a perfect family space for dining and spending time together. Each room was well sized and complimented with 3 bathrooms and luxurious bedding, enabling a restful stay. The centrepiece must be the stunning views, enjoyed from the living room with windows opening straight out into the enclosed garden – a delight on a bright sunny day, but equally enjoyed by the warmth of the indoor fire when the Scottish weather pours down! Allan was also very friendly and communicative accommodating us with our request.

A great house in a great location. High points were the panoramic windows in the lounge breakfast area alongside the side of the bedrooms and the number of bathrooms. Overall the house is impressive and open plan which my wife and I like.On the downside the WiFi was poor and very intermittent, I replaced the leads to the TV and to the router for very little improvement. Couldn’t use the TV apps for 20 of our 14 nights, nor could we effectively both be using devices at the same time. This did cause difficulties with work and family issues. Further, whilst the kitchen was adequate the utensils, pans and baking trays could do with some improvement/replacement. As could the floor tiles in 2 of the 3 bathrooms, this observation could be expanded to some of the oak flooring and door handles on the sliding doors. Final observation was that there was more dust in the property than was to be expected after it had been cleaned
