A beautiful house in a lovely little fishing village
A beautiful detached house close to the harbour. The house was perfect for 5 work colleagues for a weekend away. The house was immaculate, warm, the beds were so comfy and we loved the cosy living room and the large kitchen area with a long dining room table was great for gathering round for meals and playing games (which were provided)! No hair dryers though! The area is lovely for exploring the north east. We drove to Stonehaven which is not far and enjoyed one of the many cafes. We also walked along the coast to Inverbervie which was just over a mile.

Great Cottage next to the Harbour
You find everything you need in this cottage. We’ve been a party of 6 and this cottage is a great place and a good base for exploring the surrounding area. If you like fresh fish, this is the place to be. The fish monger is around the corner so fresh fish supply is guaranteed. We’ll be back!

Fantastic stay
Had a lovely weekend at the property. House is large and spacious. Everyone was able to find their own space if required. Large kitchen which accommodated the eight of us. Being the kitchen this is where we spent most of our time. House has everything you need and instructions are clear. Gourdon itself is great. The quayside restaurant I would recommend booking. The harbour bar is a fantastic pub. It can get very busy though so if your not first your last! Tables can go quickly inside but plenty seating outside. Short walk along the coast to inverbervie. You can also get a bus to Montrose and stonehaven. Thank you again for hosting us!!

Great House. Adorable Location
We had a great stay at this house in Gourdon. It is exactly as advertised. It has plenty of room, it was comfortable, great parking, etc. Eliot was very responsive when we had questions. The town of Gourdon is very picturesque. We walked around it and just loved it. It was an easy base to access other parts of western Scotland.

We throughly enjoyed our stay at the house! Clean, comfortable, nice beds, great location...the only thing we can think of in a negative way was the noisy seagulls! Lol. I grew up on the coast and never experienced such noisy seagulls! LOL...Thank you Elliot for the wonderful stay!!!

Lovely place to stay!
We enjoyed the proximity to the water and to the two restaurants near the water. The property suited us well--we enjoyed playing cribbage at the dinner table and watching TV in the living room. It was helpful having one bathroom on the first floor and the other bathroom on the 2nd floor. All in all, it was a good venue four our two-night stay, and we wished we could've stayed longer.

A wee break for the soul
I spent the weekend with friends in Gourdon. The cottage is easily the prettiest on the harbour and surpassed our expectations as the pictures do not do it justice. So tastefully decorated, calming and fully equipped with everything you might need. The cafe, chip shop and restaurant are a mere hop, skip and jump from the front door, offering a warm welcome and good food. I’m just sorry we couldn’t stay a while longer…

Picturesque location
Seamless stay at this lovely house in Gourdon for ourselves, our friends and our children. Lovely setting just a few steps to a pretty harbour. Great communication with the owner to be able to check in very easily and settle straight into our holiday. The area has so much on it's doorstep but we ran out of time so we will definitely return for another break. The property itself has everything you could need for our 2 families and was very well equipped to help us feel comfortable. Lovely little gem of a place and I would highly recommend.

Gourdon Gateway - Amazing!
This property was fabulous....lovely dinning kitchen which was so spacious and accommodated 8 people easily. Loved the proportions of the 4 bedrooms and the 2 bathrooms and for those that wanted to retire from the spacious kitchen there was a lovely wee snug living room. The proximity to the harbour was another plus point to this property, there is something very magical about being beside the sea. Great location for touring the surrounding area. Can't wait to return.

Viel Platz und maritime Atmosphäre
Das Haus mit 4 Schlafzimmern im schönen Hafenstädtchen Gourdon ist super und modern ausgestattet. Wir nutzten auch die Waschmaschine und den Trockner, was während einer Rundreise sehr praktisch war. Das Restaurant Quayside ist absolut empfehlenswert, wir orderten online. Das einzige, was wirklich sehr störend war, war das Gekreische der Möwen... ab 3 Uhr nachts schreien sie ununterbrochen direkt auf dem Haus und in den umliegenden Gärten. Auch unser Auto wurde total vollgekackt, was wirklich nicht sehr schön war...

Nice, big and clean but cosy house with seaview. It offers everything you need. Near castles, places to walk and to eat. Bigger places to go to don't take to long by car en the sea is always with you. We have enjoyed our stay very much. Walk to Johnshaven, go and enjoy a walk in and around Banchory, visit Aberdeen and Dundee of go to Dunnottar Castle. Thank you Eliot.
