The Boathouse has fantastic country views near spectacular coastal walks

Relax in the upstairs lounge enjoying the open country views, the wildlife on the window ledge and spectacular sunsets. Sleep snugly in the comfortable beds and dream sweetly in the silence of a Aberdeenshire country night. Take a short walk to Catterline to see the seals and enjoy a meal and a pint of real ale at the Creel Inn. Visit Fowlsheugh RSPB reserve and spot the puffins amongst the thousands of guillemots and razorbills.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay! Very clean and well stocked with all the supplies needed for multiple people to stay comfortably. Great views for the main room. A very short drive to the main town.

Nice place to stay to discover the Scottish coastline
this is a very nice house wich provides you with everything you need. In case something is missing the owners are living just next to it and are very responsive, even though we never met them in person. The only downside is the master-bed, which is for two adults definitly too small (except you are on a honeymoon ;-)

Home away from home.
We LOVED staying at the Boathouse. The property was perfect for our 10 day self isolation, containing everything we needed - from laundry facilities to potato masher and cheese grater. It is a gem in the countryside, but conveniently close to grocery store. Mercedes and Gordon are gracious hosts, friendly and helpful but never invasive. We look forward to our next opportunity to stay at the Boathouse!

Super Aufenthalt
Das Boathouse war sehr gemütlich und top gepflegt. Alles funktionierte einwandfrei. Die Gastleute waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, für jede Frage erreichbar. Ein Auto ist bei der Lage sicher von Vorteil. Die Gegend ist wunderschön, reiche Tierwelt.

Superbe logement et très bien placé

A few shortcomings
The house was very clean and in general well equiped. Beds were comfortablr but there wasn't a kingsize and the second double was in fact a bed settee (some kind of futon) - they were comfortable but not as described. The bunk beds had very little headroom for the bottom bed user. Sadly the views of open countryside were spoiled as the field next to the house was a building site. The property sleeps 6 but there were only 5 comfortable seats in the lounge - three seater settee and two arm chairs. The coast is a good 1.3 mile walk from the property.
