Lovely village and home
Stephan and Gwen were delightful hosts and the house was large, comfortable, clean and a beautiful view. The hotel in town had really great food. Make sure you have reservations though. They did help us by letting us do take away when we didn’t. The area had so many great things to see. Really close to Stonehaven (our host told us about it) and you must see Dunnottar Castle located just a short drive from here. Had some gifts and fresh milk in the fridge on our arrival. The host lives next door so if we had an issue they were readily available. Definitely would stay here again.

We had a lovely week at seashore house It's yards from the sea and everyone in the village is so friendly. The house has everything you need and 3 bathrooms are a bonus espcially if you have family. If you like seafood the lobster shack is a must. Watching the dolphins was an unexpectd surprise. Stephen and Gwen are next door so are on hand if any problems occur. We can definitely recomment this property.

Fantastic Base
Fantastic stay at the seashore house, if you are looking for a quiet relaxing base from which to explore the East coast look no further. To the south is the breathtaking beach of St Cyrus, a short drive away, the small town of Inverbervie to the north as well as Stonehaven where you can visit Donattar Castle etc, not to mention other surrounding wee towns of montrose, forfar, brechin, banchory and Aberdeen itself all within easy driving distance. The property itself is big and can cater easily for all your needs and the beds are really comfy for a good nights sleep. Was a quiet stay away with plenty to see around about, just what we wanted. There is also a football pitch and recreational facilities behind the property. You can start a coastal walk from outside your doorstep. Local owners, Gwen and Steve are also very friendly and your left to your own devices from the off. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet get away from it all stay.

Happy Holiday in Johnshaven
We really enjoyed our stay in Seashore House which was well equipped and comfortable for our party of 5. We had been expecting some DVDs, games and information about local walks etc but due to the corona virus we understood why there was nothing like this at the property. With the fantastic beaches nearby a bucket and spade would have been good and notification that we should bring these items with us.

Just excellent, beautiful and very well equipped. This holiday home caters for every single need you could imagine. Beautiful views of the sea, lovely little village with a shop and the Anchor Hotel which does beautiful food and is very dog friendly. One thing for sure if you come in the winter months you will never be cold in this home, we were very cosy!!! The house is immaculate, 2 large bedrooms upstairs (very comfy we had great night sleeps)with en-suites looking over the seashore and a single bedroom on the ground floor with large bathroom/wet room directly across the hallway, all with fitted wardrobes and a safe. The living room/dining room and kitchen are all in one and every utensil you could imagine. There is plenty of storage space also a large walk in cupboard in the hallway. I would highly recommend this home to anyone thinking of staying up this way, you won't be disappointed, we certainly weren't. Thanks to Gwen and Steve for allowing us to stay in their beautiful home XX

Dream holiday
We had a wonderful, relaxing holiday in Stephen and Gwen"s house on the beach. The views are fantastic, the house very comfortable and perfect for 6 people with its 3 Bathrooms and a big kitchen and living room. Stephen and Gwen are the perfect hosts, always helpful, but very respectful for the privacy of their guests. Johnshaven is a beautiful village with a friendly community, a shop, pubs and you even can by lobster nearby. We can only recommend Beach house and will be back as soon as we can.

Lovely relaxing holiday
We stayed at Seashore House at the end of August and had a great time. The house was just what we were looking for, well-equipped with a nice living area and spacious bedrooms for everyone. We were looking for a relaxing week which is exactly what we got. Lots of walks, trips to the pub and a couple of takeaways as a treat! Also, I loved going to sleep and waking up to the sounds of the waves!

Schönes Haus in einer atemberaubenden Landschaft
Das Haus ist mit einer vollständige Küche eingerichtet, sowie mit einem Wohn/Essbereich, drei Zimmern mit jeweils einem Bad. Von der Lage her liegt das Haus etwa 30-40 Minuten südlich von Aberdeen an der Ostküste in der Region aberdeenshire. Der Ort ist ein kleines Fischerdorf, in dem man die Ruhe total genießen kann. Zu empfehlen ist der Besuch des Hotels Anchor. Dort kann man phantastisch essen. Wir würden das Haus in jedem Fall nochmal mieten. Es hat alles an Bord, was man für einen Urlaub in Schottland benötigt. Und wer die Ruhe und das Meer genießen will, ist hier erst recht richtig.

Ein wunderschönes Ferienhaus
Die vorherigen Beschreibungen haben nicht untertrieben. Das Haus ist sehr gut eingerichtet und bietet alles, was man zur Erholung braucht. Gwen und Steve sind hervorragende Gastgeber, welche bei Fragen gern geholfen haben. Es war schön, sie kennengelernt zu haben. Vom Haus aus konnten wir auch Delphine beobachten. Einziger Kritikpunkt ist, dass ein Sofa etwas durchgesessen war. Wir würden dass Haus jederzeit wieder mieten.
