It was most enjoyable. Location was great. Maybe a page in the visitor book about where to leave garbage and recycle materials at the end of the stay would be helpful

It's all about the view!
We had an amazing sunny week in Gardenstown.
Sunnyside House has a fabulous view over the village and out to sea. The sunsets are stunning!
The house itself is clean, well decorated and and has everything you need for a comfortable stay.
The locals I met on my daily morning stroll around the village and along the beach were lovely and friendly.
We loved Portsoy and Cullen and had some lovely beach and cliff top walks.

Great Village Getaway
Gardenstown is a picturesque costal village and Philipp and Andreas' property is a great place to spend a few days enjoying the beautiful scenery and some relaxation. Well situated with great views of the harbour, the property is spacious, clean, and well-equipped. For those working remotely, like myself, wi-fi is fast and reliable, making it easy to stay productive. Can't recommend their place highly enough for a relaxing week away from the city.

Amazing place, great landlord
Gardenstown is a sweet little village on the coast about one hour north of Aberdeen. The house is located perfectly with an amazing view to the ocean directly out of the kitchen window. It is newly renovated. Everything is in perfect working order. Car can be parked in front of the house. Andreas, our landlord, is a super friendly and relaxed person and gave us both, helpful hints for visits in the area as well as e.g. a gas grill to prepare out freshly self-caught North Sea fish. It is also worth going to a local pub and participate in a Pub Quiz. Very nice opportunity to get in touch with the locals. All very friendly, as all Scottish people we met during our stay. So a 100% recommendation for the whole set.

Tolle Aussicht aufs Meer
Das Haus entsprach im groben unseren Vorstellungen, ist doch die Gegend nicht gerade mit tollen Häusern gepflastert. Der Ausblick aus der Küche war fantastisch zu jeder Zeit. Leider waren die Matratzen in beiden Zimmern extrem schlecht. Wir würden deshalb nicht unbedingt wieder kommen

Tolle Aussicht
Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen - die Aussicht ist unschlagbar, wir konnten sogar Delfine sehen.
Das Haus ist komfortabel eingerichtet, ist sauber und verfügt über alles, was man braucht.
Wir haben nichts vermisst und waren vollkommen zufrieden.
Die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern war jederzeit unkompliziert möglich und es gab keinerlei Probleme.
Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!
