Outstanding property for a fantastic stay

One of the best self-catering properties that we have ever stayed in! Immaculately clean, fully equipped but no clutter. Very well and tastefully furnished made for an exceptionally comfortable stay. Thank you! Location also was great with many very worthwhile places to visit just a short drive away.

Perfect base for a visit home

This property is absolutely beautiful. Perhaps the cleanest property I have ever stayed in. It literally looked like I was the first person ever to stay there. The house is far larger than it appears online. Everything you can imagine is provided. Even a pint of milk to make tea and coffee. I will absolutely stay here again when visiting family and friends in the future.

AMAZING

A beautiful cottage very well equipped and extremely comfortable. The scenery in the surrounding areas are lovely. Lots of nice coffee shops and Dundee is not far away for visiting The Discovery Point which is very interesting. Our hosts Neil and Alison made a point of coming to see us to make sure everything was ok which it was. We had a lovely relaxing holiday.

Wonderful new spacious and well appointed holiday home

The house is set back from the road with ample parking for two cars, and what is stunning is that it is a new build with space and warmth. Everything you might expect in a hotel room is provided... towelling, soap and shampoo (a lot of cottages omit soap and shower gel!), extra blankets, hair dryer, bedside radio and plenty of hangers in the wardrobes. The kitchen has all you need, plus some essentials (condiments, tea, coffee, sugar, oil and vinegar). Welcome pack of bread, milk, sachets of hot chocolate, crisps, teacakes was thoughtfully provided. Flowers in the very large living room/kitchen made us feel welcome, as did the owner making sure all was well when we arrived. The house was spotless. It is one of the loveliest holiday homes we have visited (we've visited dozens over the years), and Laurencekirk is handy for Aberdeen, Dundee and places in between.... either seaside (St Cyrus) or the Angus glens and Deeside.

Brilliant Cottage in Laurencekirk

Very large and pretty apartment with everything you need. It's next to the park and the owners are very friendly and helpful. We loved the nature in the area as well, for example the beautiful St. Cyrus beach and Dunnottar Castle. We definitely recommend this lovely cottage. As a family it was perfect for us with a lot of space for everyone!

Ein Cottage zum Wohlfühlen

Wir haben und im Cedar Holiday Cottage in Laurencekirk sehr wohl gefühlt. Es ist ein geschmackvoll eingerichtetes, sehr sauberes Ferienhaus (inkl. einem Hauswirtschaftsraum mit Waschmaschine und elektr. Trockner). Die Lage ist sehr ruhig und in einer schönen Landschaft. Die Vermieter Alison und Neil sind sehr hilfsbereit und über einen schönen Willkommenskorb haben wir uns sehr gefreut. Vielen Dank - wir kommen gerne wieder!

Short break

The House was exactly as described and absolutely spotless. Everything you could want or need for a stay here was provided including wood for the log burner. The owners have gone out of their way to make guests feel very welcome with both communications and a wonderful welcome basket of goodies on arrival even taking the time to attend at the house to ensure everything was to our satisfaction and providing us with a late checkout on departure day. The property is furnished to an extremely high standard throughout. I would definitely recommend this accommodation to anyone looking for a high end yet reasonably priced place to stay whilst exploring this area.

Very Happy

The home is beautiful, very clean, bright and comfortable. The decor and furniture are tasteful. The kitchen is well equipped with most of the necessary items for self catering being provided. We visited Banchory, Montrose, Edzell, Stonehaven, Fettercairn - all a short distance away. I would certainly have no hesitation recommending this property and hope to return sometime. The home is situated on a very quiet street and private parking is avialable.
