Guest Reviews

• Matthew (10/5): Host was amazing we will be staying again! - The view can not get any better at this location! Watching the waves crash against the harbour walls! Location and spotlessly clean! Deceptively large! Its not a apartment its a 2 storey maisonette with good sized rooms!
• darren (10/5): Nice and relaxing in a great place - Attentive host Location Space Nothing
• stuart (10/5): -
• Jack (10/5): Fabulous flat - Great flat with beautiful views, in good location for walks and travel up the coast. Very comfortable and had everything we needed. Emma was on hand if we needed anything. Nothing, everything about the stay was fab.
• Karen (10/5): A real home from home. - Very comfortable accommodation. Lovely location within Gourdon village. Nothing not to like
• Jenny (10/5): -
• Leanne (10/5): Pub was within walking distance and it was a perfect location for our adventures in the area. - Emma was an amazing host. Checked in on us and if we had questions responded immediately. I also appreciate the various notes around the apartment with instructions.
• Miriam (10/5): - El apartamento es precioso, está cuidado al detalle y tiene de todo para hacer la estancia agradable y perfecta. Las vistas al mar, la calidez de las habitaciones. Nos ha encantado de verdad. Se nota que su propietaria, Emma, ha puesto corazón en la casa. No es un mero sitio para visitantes, es un lugar para que te sientas como en casa durante tu estancia.
• Ciska (9/5): Fantastisch! -
• Dario (10/5): -
• brian (9/5): - Super equipt kitchen, best we have ever had Sea views Easy parking Nothing
• Holger (10/5): - Super ausgestattetes und sehr sauberes, geräumiges Cottage. Emma, die Vermieterin hat uns herzlichst empfangen und uns ein paar Tipps für Unternehmungen gegeben. Zur Begrüßung standen Marmelade, Müsli, Milch und Croissants bereit. In Bad, Küche, Wohn- und Schlafzimmer war alles super sauber eingerichtet. Die Wohnung wurde mit viel Liebe eingerichtet und entspricht vollständig den Beschreibungen in der Expertise. Vielen lieben Dank liebe Emma. Wir hoffen auf ein Wiedersehen.
• David (10/5): Picture book harbour - The view's of the harbour and the sea. It was very peaceful except for the seagulls. There was so much to see and experience in the surrounding villages and area. We didn't appreciate the steps to the entrance and of course the seagulls
• Richard (10/5): Excellent -
• Stephen (10/5): Peaceful relaxing apartment with fantastic views in a very friendly village - Excellent location with fantastic views over the harbour, the property is furnished and equipped to a very high standard with everything you could want and more, situated in a very tranquil setting and the patio at the back is a little sun trap and very private Nothing to dislike
• Ian (10/5): A comfortable base for touring the area. - We were self catering and the facilities were more than enough for our stay plus the flat is two minutes walk down to the restaurants and the chippie. There’s lots of everything you need and then some in the flat which is well furnished, has great views out over the sea with binoculars included, you can heat the place, if required, with central heating, a coal fire, or both. A seating area outside catches the sun all afternoon and into the evening. There are multiple tv options, dvd’s, books to read, games for the kids and even a box of goodies for them. Emma and Hamish live nearby and will respond to any requests you may have. A great area for touring and Gowan Bank is an ideal base. Nothing, everything’s fine.
• Kerry (10/5): Excellent - Home from home it had everything we needed for a great mini break. The location was lovely with views out over the harbour and greats walks along the coast.
• Steven (10/5): Exceptional - The whole accommodation was excellent and the views were fantastic. Handy to walk down to the pub and the fish restaurant instead of driving elsewhere to eat after a 6hour drive.
• Jennie (10/5): Exceptional - We loved everything! Home from home, beautiful location. We didn't like that we hadn't booked for longer
• Emily (10/5): Exceptional -
• Adam (10/5): Comfortable, light apartment with a sea view in a charming fishing village 40 mins from Aberdeen - Superb self-catering apartment with views out over the North Sea in the charming fishing village of Gourdon. Excellent for walking or cycling on the coast. Friendly village with a pub, fishmonger/smokery and fish and chip restaurant. We hope to return there one day. All good. Thanks to the hosts.
• Montgomery (10/5): Exceptional -
• Catherine (10/5): Relaxing and reviving break in a quaint village. We had everything we needed and Emma even provided fresh roses. We wis - Everything!… cosy, warm, everything you needed and Emma was a lovely host . Nothing at all
• Judith (9/5): Superb -
• Jadwiga (10/5): Wonderful location - Wonderful location. Quiet, peaceful, very comfortable, spacious, clean house, fully equipped with a beautiful view of the sea. If we go there again, we will definitely choose the same location. Thank you, it was great
• Helen (10/5): Emma is an excellent host and very helpful. We had a very enjoyable and comfortable stay, thank you. - Good location in the village
• Ieva (10/5): Exceptional - We love the view from windows and comfortable beds 🛌. In there we have feeling that we are at home we have everything there to make dinner, go in shower. Emma and her busband are simply brilliant x Nothing because we love everything..
• Pauline (10/5): Exceptional - Flat was beautiful with stunning views. Emma was delightful. Nothing
• Rafal (10/5): Exceptional - Nice Emma:) gave us the key to a comfortable and pleasant house in a quiet place, located in a spectacular place near the seaside.. Emma took care of everything,.. nothing was missing.. The beds were comfortable and the bedding was clean and fragrant., it was really nice.. thank you :) We recommend
• Flemming (10/5): A fantastic place in a truly genuine environment! - Location was fantastic down by the harbor with an excellent sea view. The property was truly a home away from home, spacious and cosy at the same time. We didn't miss anything, so I can highly recommend this property!
• Jonathan (9/5): A perfect location to catch up with family - We have a vacation property ourselves and understand the detail that the owner has gone to, to cover nearly every eventuality. If / when we are in the area again we will definitely try and stay in Gowan Bank. The owner was extremely accommodating and went out of her way to make sure we were comfortable. Vey little. For a family of four it was perfect.
• Margaret (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jill (10/5): Homely accommodation in a beautiful location. - This lovely homely apartment is set by the sea in picturesque Gourdon. It has everything you’d need for a pleasant stay and feels like a home from home. The owner was very welcoming and the accommodation is to a high standard and is very clean. We couldn’t be happier with our stay. There’s nothing to dislike!
• Gregory (9/5): Superb -
• Kevin (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent accommodation, pristine condition. Would highly recommend. Short walk to the pub and great fishing off the pier. Nothing, would live here
• Patrick (9/5): Superb -
• Rachael (10/5): Beautiful & Zen - Had a great time in this property. Lots of amenities provided and the host gave us a small tour and helped us with things we could do in the local area. Lovely décor. Beautiful views out the window onto the ocean, quiet and tranquil. Lots of walks in the local area and it was also very well located to visit Johnshaven. There were some staples in the cupboard (salt, pepper etc) but no oil which we had forgotten to buy at the shop - but that's a very minor quibble. Didn't actually prevent us from cooking as we just used the fat from the food itself.
• Treefred (10/5): Exceptional -
• Daniel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Susan (10/5): We had a wonderful stay. The property was everything we needed it to be. We ate locally (very locally) and had good meal - The location and the views. There was nothing I didn’t like about this property. It was exactly as described.
• Mark (10/5): An excellent stay in an ideal property - A delightful, spacious property, with excellent view. Would highly recommend Nothing
• Helena (9/5): Brilliant accommodation in a picturesque and friendly sea side location - Great location, beautiful view, very well equipped kitchen and apartment. Spotlessly clean and spacious. Free wifi. Q 8 Great transport links to Stonehaven, Aberdeen, ¹and Montrose.Very handy for the Harbour Bar and Quayside Restaurant. Brilliant fishmongers, too, on the pier. Lovely welcome from Emma, the owner. Short journey to Inverbervie with excellent shops. Saw a whale in the bay one evening! Fairly steep stairs to the back door and tricky induction hob to operate. Maybe a grab rail for the shower for us oldies?
• Jennifer (9/5): Loved this comfortable flat would definitely recommend to friends and family. - Location excellent. The toilet was downstairs and bedrooms upstairs, not a massive problem for us but would have preferred en-suite. Stairs to enter flat from the outside again not an issue for us but if you had an issue with mobility. Outside area at the house needed a bit of tidying up to look more inviting.
• Vic (10/5): Beautiful Seaside Location - Beautiful location, easy walk down to the village. The cottage was very large and comfortable. We enjoyed having a bath. Good wifi. The fridge needs to be checked and ice removed from the cooler as we could not shut the vegetable drawer properly. This also created the problem of not being able to shut the fridge door tightly. The back court yard and stairs up to the cottage could also do with a sweep / hose down to make it user friendly.
• Tomas (10/5): Very pleasant. - Nice space clean friendly owner. Perfect for a family. Nothing.
• Anonymous (9/5): Definitely a place to totally wind down & relax.. we loved looking out for dolphins out the front windows. - Fantastic place just to chill out & relax by the sea..! The cottage was lovely & clean, very homely & comfortable . If I had to pick a fault ( which is very hard) I would say to make it perfect, probably off road parking! But I’m being picky & we always found a parking spot along the road.
• Saleh (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dirk (10/5): Absolutely lovely stay! -
• Jennifer (10/5): Would love to return. - Had everything we needed and was very clean. Nothing
• Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
• Elaine (9/5): Fabulous flat with amazing sea views - Perfect location with amazing sea views. Really comfortable beds and very clean. Great communication with host
• Peter (9/5): Superb - Nice location in harbour village. Good views. Welcoming host with sound communication throughout. Comfortable beds and relaxed vibe to the apartment and area in general.
• Guy (8/5): Very good - Lovely view, fantastic working fishing port very close to pub and very good restaurant. Informative host. Nothing
• David (10/5): Exceptional - beautiful view and lovely homely feel. outdoor seating area was nice nothing
• Denise (10/5): Amazing and cant wait to get back there - Location is great for exploring the whole of Aberdeenshire. Accommodation is amazing and like a home from home. Has everything you can think of you will need. Spotless and lovely decoration. You will even spot the dolphin's jumping in the sea out the windows . Emma the host is fab and great for any info you might need on your stay. Nothing
• Jackie (10/5): Exceptional. Very comfortable, well presented, fabulous views. - Excellent location, very comfortable, spotlessly clean, great views and lovely owner. All was fabulous.
• Farnish (10/5): Perfect location - Exceptional apartment with everything you could need, loved hearing the sea and watching the harbour. A fantastic break away.
• Fiona0999 (10/5): Fantastic property in a quiet location, ideal for exploring Angus and beyond. - Spent 3 nights at the property with our 3 granchildren and loved every moment! Emma is a fantastic host and made sure everything was explained on arrival. The property was spotlessly clean and had everything (and more) needed for a home away from home. The two sofas in the living room meant there was ample room for the five of us, and the big dining table was perfect for board games in the evening. TV was easy to work and Emma has provided lots of DVDs although we didn't watch any. Bedrooms up the stairs were spacious and comfortable with views of the stunning sunrise each morning. The property is easy to find, and ideal for a quiet, coastal break. The Chinese takeaway in the village does great food, but they only take cash, no cards. The pub and the restaurant in the village are also great places to spend an evening. Didn't like the fact we had only booked for 3 nights, would have loved to stay so much longer!
• Timothy (10/5): No then, so stayed at Gowan Bank a two bedroom apartment in the small coastal village of Gourdon. Warm, spacious modern - Everything. Nothing.
• Debbie (10/5): Exceptional - Very cosy and had everything you needed. The most relaxing break I've ever had and I will be back very soon. Scenery and surrounding area were beautiful. There was nothing we didn't like.
• Kevin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kevin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Noelle (10/5): Great wee peaceful bolthole to cosy up in - fabulous setting in this lovely little village - Lovely wee house and village - a pleasure to stay! Nothing
• Christopher (10/5): Exceptional -
• Cm5577 (10/5): Exceptional - Outstanding property. Very well appointed, comfortable, spotlessly clean, great location. Had a very relaxing time. Nothing. It was perfect.
• Lu (10/5): Gowan Bank - Great location for exploring the coast, plenty of interesting places to visit. Wonderful walks in each direction to Inverbervie or Johnshaven. Apartment had everything we needed, lovely & cosy to come back to after a day out. Visited pub opposite for a tasty meal of fish & chips. The only thing that would've made our trip better was drier weather, which no one can control. Everything else was great..
• Lorna (10/5): We fairly enjoyed our break lovely homely home to chill out in - everything was perfect larger than expected nothing to fault everything you needed was in the apartment
• William (10/5): A cosy welcoming home from home - The property was spacious and immaculate. The location is superb with views over Gourdon harbour and the North Sea. There is a pub and a restaurant at the harbour, food is excellent in both premises. Emma came to welcome us to ensure that everything was ok, Thank you. Our neighbour, Winnie, was also a great help with local knowledge. Nothing

• Tom (10/5): A little gem on the east cost of Scotland. - Lovely little duplex apartment, located 50m from the local pub, and restaurant situated overlooking a picturesque fishing harbor. Really well supplied with bath and shower , two bedrooms one with a double bed and the other with two singles. Living room with real fire TV, and an additional sofa bed if required. Fast WiFi is a real bonus as you are in a blackspot for mobile ( cellular ) service. Really well equipped kitchen and it was a bonus to find some coffee and milk with some shortbread ! Overall a brilliant property and I will be back !
• A (10/5): Gorgeous views from a c - Gorgeous views of the wild storm whipping the coast whilst we were snug and warm inside. Brilliant position with the pub and harbour just across the road. Lovely place to stay and chill out or base yourself for travel in the area. Emma is a seasoned traveller and goes above and beyond with what is provided. We would have loved to have stayed longer!!!
• Verified traveler (10/5): Very nice and clean - Excellent! We found everything we needed for our trip
