Area
Founded by Alexander Garden as a fishing village in 1720, the port village of Gardenstown is often linked with neighbouring Gamrie and Crovie as one community. Gardenstown borders a small sandy bay with beautiful scenery on both sides. The village has a pub that serves delicious food all year and a restaurant, galleries and several tea rooms in season. A steep road leads you through the ancient, narrow and winding streets to the harbour where many quaint boats are moored. The neighbouring town of Banff boasts a relaxing sandy beach and a variety of fascinating architecture in contrasting styles, exemplified by Duff House, an impressive Georgian mansion open to visitors and home to paintings and artefacts from the National Galleries of Scotland. Banff and the surrounding area also have a good selection of shops, restaurants and hotels, which serve a fine selection of local sea foods, whilst nearby Pennan, a beautiful old smugglers village, was the filming location for the movie 'Local Hero'.

From the lush green farmlands of the Borders to the ruggedness of the Highlands, the Scots are proud of their land and identity. Scotland also has some of Britain’s best beaches with glorious stretches of clean sand over which to roam.

We really enjoyed our break in such a beautiful, tranquil spot.. The cottage is a well equipped home from home and the view couldn’t be better.

This was just what was needed - batteries restored by hydro power.. Great spot and St Magnus Haven is perfect. Quiet, tranquil setting and literally nothing to do but enjoy. The cottage was scrupulously clean and had everything I needed for a peaceful stay. The nearby beaches and villages were lovely and it is amazing how many hours can be lost watching boats be put in the water. Quite honestly it was the best holiday I have ever had. Oh, the dog loved it too!

Wow!! If peace and quiet is what your after then this is the place to go . Fabulous cottage with everything you need. Loved the open fire.

Mr Robinson

We found the kitchen area very small and cluttered.. We both like to cook and lack of space made it very difficult for two people to be in the kitchen at the same time. The bed was very comfortable, but the duvet was not big enough to cover two people, and at the end of October it was quite cold, it requires a king size duvet. Overall this is a nice cottage in a lovely location.

Beautiful cottage, no phone signal and no WiFi resulted in incredible peace and tranquility for us.. Fantastic sunsets over a lovely bay. Will definitely return

Has to have been the most relaxing holiday We've had.. Perhaps not everyone's taste but so quiet, tranquil and if we'd been any more relaxed, we'd have been horizontal. The view of the sea from our window kept us constantly in awe with the changes. Lovely little villages around. No noise bar the waves. Lovely Pennan Inn at end of street. Wonderful place to unwind and relax.
