About this property
Banff 1 miles. This absolutely charming mid terrace stone cottage offers deceptively spacious and pretty accommodation. Ideal for a couple, family group or group of friends this cottage is just minutes from a lovely sandy beach and the clear crystal waters of the Moray Firth. A very pretty pathway and front garden lead up to the house and there is a bedroom at ground floor level as well as one on the first floor. The sitting room has a big comfy corner sofa and welcoming woodburing stove, ideal for those colder evenings in. The very well-equipped kitchen/dining room has everything required for visitors to make a lovely meal to be enjoyed together around the table. At the rear is a fully enclosed garden and a gate leading to the rear parking area. Inverboyndie is a small village that is situated neatly between the larger village of Whitehills and the small vibrant town of Banff, both within easy reach and both providing excellent local services. The village of Whitehills can be access via a coastal path and after a pleasant walk visitors should pop into the local pub and restaurant for a nice meal before the walk home. You could also take your car of course! Banff is a bustling town with an excellent selection of shops and restaurants along with the Marine Aquarium which is well worth a visit! The north east coastline is a great area to explore with the many fishing villages dotted up its dramatic coastline each with their own history and atmosphere. From this cottage there is an excellent bus route and if guests want to leave the car they can simply hop on the bus and enjoy the scenery! This pretty cottage ticks all the boxes and ensure a relaxing and comfortable holiday for all!
Banff has been designated an Outstanding Conservation Area and is famous for its architecture.

It was the accusations after. I paid a good amount of money to rent this property for the week and it was a busy stay. I took insurance out as when we stayed here before I knew glasses were broken when being placed in the sink. - we cleaned stripped the beds and towels and put them in the provided bag as asked. - accused of leaving a soaking wet towel that COULD of done damage to drawers, there was no damage. - the complaints from the cleaner after the stay were ridiculous. It was normal cleaning things that I may have missed but I was accused of things that werenât true. The cleaner had to do her job yet complained about it. I was accused of breaking the blind but the roller had come off and I explained I did not want to make it worst and it was an easy fix. I was also accused of breaking the freezer which was untrue. I was accused of stealing glasses not asked about them accused. - I was accused of leaving rubbish across the garden, this did not happen. - accused of leaving a residue of powder on the coffee table - it was sand from shells and crystals my child had collected from the beach. - I asked my teenager to take the recycling out and he put it in the wrong bin, the cleaner made a complaint about this. - overall the stay was good but the attitude from the cleaner and owners was unacceptable. I was basically accused of trashing the place and ruining new bedding and I asked for photos and the tiny spot of a mark was sent to me from accidental spilt drink - again I had insurance for this.
