Beachfront holiday rental in Whinnyfold

We all loved our stay in Joanna’s cottage which is right near the traditional end of Sandend with the pretty harbour right in front, this which also makes it a very quiet setting. The cottage is very clean, beautifully furnished and has comfortable beds, a great shower and bath, and a well-equipped new kitchen. We particularly enjoyed the coastal walks from the door to the adjacent villages of Cullen and Portsoy and further to Portknockie and then along the coast between Crovie and Gardenstown. Joanna was very understanding and allowed a late checkout when I was unwell on our departure day, so all in all ten out of ten from us.

Had stayed here last year. Location is superb, living room windows look directly onto the see, rocky for hundreds of yards when tide out, water directly below window when tide is in. Wife hardly left the flat lol and loved the views. Top bedroom offers superb sea views and you feel like your at sea with the windows open. Worthy of note that access to the property is via 14/15 continuous steps leading to the front door and there is a set of stairs to the top bedroom. (important to be aware of if you've got mobility issues, as my wife has). As we have been before we knew what to expect this time round. Apartment was clean with decent facilities. Provided some feedback to host on some minor issues needing addressed which would have made the experience perfect. Great location to explore. Thoroughly enjoyed stay and will definitely be back. Cheers

We had the most amazing time! The home was wonderful and what a great little town. We loved all the drivable places to visit, and walking around town.

Our third visit and it won’t be our last. We love the location and the cottage is so cosy. It’s quickly become our favourite getaway and this was a January holiday rather than a summer one and it’s just as magical!

We were looking for a chilled break which also met our dog’s needs. The cottage is in a spectacular location, facing the sea with the coastal path right at the bottom of the garden. You do need a car to access this property which sits at the end of a single track lane, adjacent to the A92. The cottage was spotlessly clean, homely and very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped for self catering. We were very lucky with the weather and were able to enjoy the enclosed garden area. The coastal path walk to Johnshaven is very pretty and only takes around 30-40 minutes where there is a pub/restaurant serving great food, excellent cafe..”Hidden treasures” and a lovely gift shop, the Starfish Studio, as well as the harbour. Claire gave us some very useful advice about other dog friendly eating venues around the area including Charlton Farm and Picsnax at St Cyrus nature reserve/beach. St Cyrus beach is stunning and is a must visit. We plan to return soon ..so much to see!

lovely cottage with a great view of the beach which is practically on the door step. Great walks nearby highly recommend this well equipped cottage has everything you need for a relaxing stay and Sue the owner is aways on hand should you need advice on anything

Helen's house was perfect, with terrific vews of the sea and harbour. The house is in a brilliant location and really nicely presented. Helen was very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely return.

a lovely property in a stunning location. very clean and well presented. great communication. thank you

What a great apartment! Comfortable, bright, very clean and superbly equipped. The view of the small harbour and the bay is fantastic. In the glorious sunshine, we enjoyed breakfast on the balcony every morning and were lucky to spot dolphins. A good pair of binoculars was already in the apartment. we were also surprised by the generous welcome pack with bread , butter, eggs, a bottle of wine and much more. Thank you so much Des, we had a wonderful week in your apartment!

Great place on the oceans door step

Three of us stayed at Richard and Julie's place for a couple of nights. Stonehaven was the first stop on our trip and it is a charming town. There's a lot to do there including strolling down the beach promenade, walk/hikes nearby, and welcoming restaurants! The flat is in a perfect location for all the things. It is cozy, clean, and comfortable. Richard was extra helpful providing suggestions for local places and tips for the rest of our stops. We didn't have any issues during our stay, but very responsive leading up to our stay.

We loved our stay here. It was the most perfect location, right on the beach and it was very quiet. Often times we were the only ones on the beach and in the water! The house itself was clean and tidy and communication with the host was pleasant and fast.

Beautiful location - clear directions supplied by the host. Local pub serving good food within a 5 minute walk. Cottage itself was clean & within a quiet location. There is a hot tub in a separate building available at an extra cost - was also clean, ready to use with a plentiful supply of towels . Would recommend for a couple looking for a weekend away interested in walking or exploring the surrounding areas

Had a very pleasant stay everything about the property was as advertised and the information included in the welcome pack was extremely helpful. Laura kept in touch throughout the time from booking to arriving helping to explain the car parking which enabled to park within easy walking distance to the property

What a perfect place to stay. Carol has provided everything you could possibly need in this bijou apartment. Spotless, peaceful and comfy with lovely evening walks in the sunset, this is the perfect base to explore the beautiful fishing villages of Moray and Aberdeenshire and watch the wildlife. Parking right outside the door , amazing heating and all mod cons. Just what you hope for from an AirBnb

we wanted somewhere that we could be together as a family, this house gave us all we were looking for and more, the big kitchen diner was the hub of the home, we used it well, with the little lounge close by for that old man sneak away for 30 winks in peace, house was clean and tidy with plenty of those needed items, laundry, cooking and cleaning. good size rooms spread with bedrooms on 1st and 2nd floors, old man called shotgun on first :-), not because bigger, just less stairs. 2 good size bathrooms, like that 1 had over bath shower whilst the other had walk in shower. location is brill, 2 mins walk down to harbour and along to the very warm and welcoming Harbour bar and chipper with very tasty suppers. this was a great home, not house.. as it felt like a home, in a great location, very friendly. this is def a place to add to your list of pla es to stay
