From the first moment we were pleasantly surprised. The peace and quiet was a wonderful thing. The village and its harbour are a sight to be seen. Comfortable and cosy is best to describe this home.

Wonderful place to get away
Exactly as described , the cottage is very cosy . The local residents are really friendly and the pub serves beautiful food. The little coffee shop is definitely a must serving home made food , especially the scones . Walking the dogs on the beach which is only a short drive is amazing .

JOHNSHAVEN Quaint Cottage In A Small Fishing Village
A lovely quaint terraced house . Kitchen is well equipped Slight sea views from upstairs bedroom windows. The main bedroom was very comfortable. Dog friendly,(however the garden is on other side of a narrow communal path, opposite front door ,although not an issue for us ). No driveway for car parking so we parked further along a narrow road, Main Street . Easy to book Good Communication with the owner . Excellent Wi-Fi . Loved strolling around the village and along the sea front roads and the old railway track to the community garden. Stoney beach, but lovely sandy beaches a short drive away and other places of interest a short drive away. If we were planning a short stay in Johnshaven again, we would consider booking this accommodation, depending on the cost / availability.

Johnshaven a place of tranquility
Not overly impressed. Much room for improvement. Repairs needed, a good clean, more comfortable sofa etc. This is the first time EVER that i have not bothered to actually clean a property before i left. Will contact the owner direct witha few issues. However, Johnshaven is beautiful. The cottage is NOT for us!

Lovely location. Well appointed house
Stayed here with my husband and two teens for a 2 night stay.. House was small but cosy and we were glad the heating was on when we arrived as weather was awful!. House is well equipped for a self-catering holiday; we did not cook much but there seemed to be plenty of utensils /pots and pans etc. Also very pleased to see more than 4 of each piece of cutlery /crockery (a pet-peeve is when places for four people only have 4 forks /plates etc -you need those extras!!!) Great location for beach walks /trips to Aberdeen /other towns. Easy to get to from A92. I would say the house could do with a bit of a freshen up - it's nicely furnished etc but starting to look a bit 'rough around the edges'. That said I would return even as it is. A lovely short break!

Beautiful Little Seaside Holiday Home
We frequent Johnshaven regularly and this is our first stay at this property. A beautiful cosy wee house by the seaside with everything you need for your stay and an enclosed garden safe for children and pets to roam around . I put 4* for the cleanliness not because the property wasn't up to standard, it was , but the few pots and cooking utensils hadn't been cleaned properly, I assume by previous guests, and put back in the cupboard dirty. It's in the property description that guests should do certain basic household chores which is a great idea to keep the service/ cleaning fee down . In summary, we highly recommend staying at this lovely house

Nice place 10 yards from the harbour bed was comfortable shower was ok with a bit of adjustment friendly village with good pub great walks and saw dolphins one morning during our stay, walked to Gourdon 2 miles had lunch at the pub there and had a trip to St Cyrus beautiful beach and wildlife area.

Cosy property, nice to come home to but within easy driving distance of cities, towns, villages and the coast. Beautiful walks from the doorstep and plenty of exploring around Johnshaven itself, where everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Alan, who lives next door and cares for the property, is very helpful, friendly and discreet. We liked the large Smart TV in the living room and another in the bedroom and the WiFi worked perfectly. Plenty of hot water on tap. All in all a very pleasant stay!

Quaint little cottage in a friendly little village
Absolutely loved our stay. We loved everything from the cottage to the village to the locals. The cottage was ideal for our small group including a dog. It had everything we needed, although we didn't make use of it all. The fire was set up ready to burn. Tea and coffee on the table. The garden was a sun trap. We met 3 neighbours, including Alan of course, who was very helpful. Everyone we passed said Hello. We didn't visit the pub, unfortunately, but only because we were out and about and sat in the garden at night to make the most of the lovely weather. The shop was little but we'll stocked with everything you need plus more. Basically, we would return in a second. My only regret is we couldn't stay longer. Thank you to the host, Nathalie, for a wonderful, refreshing and homely stay.

Beautiful village
Property a little disorganised and looked tired. Bedding needs replacing, no covers on pillows and mattress- all of which were quite old. A little bit of attention to small thing like bedding and reorganising cupboards etc would help improve score. Also a note stating that garden is not attached to cottage but simply a path between would help for pet owners.

Great little cottage with everything you could want & more. Perfect central location. Great village feel with lovely locals. Highly recommend the Anchor Hotel & McBay's lobster shop. A visit to Starfish studio is well worth it. We will definately be back! 😀
