Gannet Cottage Gardenstown, Aberdeenshire

This superb holiday home is in the picturesque Aberdeenshire fishing village of Gardenstown. Gannet Cottage was originally a fisherman's cottage, built in the 19th century and is on the sea front - just 10 feet from the sea at high tide! Lie in bed in this ideal holiday retreat, listening to the sound of the waves crashing against the sea wall. This is a perfect cottage for a family holiday - the sea and sandy beach is within a few minutes walk and a cot can be provided.

The views from this Aberdeenshire cottage by the sea are amazing - across the the beach to More Head. This is a very charming cottage and the restoration has been very sensitive. The holiday home retains it charm (low ceilings, steep stairs and a cosy fire) - whilst having every modern comfort.

There are lots of excellent places to eat nearby. Gardenstown is the largest of the three villages situated along this part of the north Aberdeenshire coast (Crovie and Pennan being the others) and has a butcher, baker and post office in the village - this is a fascinating historic place to spend a Scottish holiday.

There are lots of castles to visit in Deeside and Aberdeenshire: the Whisky Trail is nearby, numerous golf courses in the area and fishing on the River Deveron on the doorstep. Bird-watchers will be enthralled by the colonies of puffins, razorbills and gannets at Troup Head and the RSPB reserve at Loch of Strathbeg. There are lots of wonderful walks in the area - including along the cliff tops of this beautiful part of the Aberdeenshire coast. Dolphins can frequently be spotted here in the summer. This is an ideal location for a break away from it all, and is a great base to explore the north east of Scotland. There are so many little attentions to detail that you will be assured of a relaxing and happy stay.

Accommodation:
This delightful holiday cottage by the sea has two lovely bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The sitting room has an open fire - perfect to relax in front of - and you can eat in the kitchen.

Every comfort has been thought of though, and there are modern comforts such as a TV and DVD player, stereo system and a telephone.
