Marvelous location! Centrally located, so we were able to go to the sea shore and into the highlands. Beautiful area and space. The hosts were terrific! Friendly, kind, and helpful. We will definitely be back.

Our favorites were the Cooperage, the town of Cullen, cruising through the area on back roads, and eating locally. Very relaxing. Everyone is so friendly.

Thank you so much for your fabulous review. It's seeing feedback like this that makes it all worth it! To know the cottage suited you and the area ticked a lot of boxes, is very pleasing. I do hope you will return and explore some more of beautiful Aberdeenshire one day. Always welcome! Best wishes, Rachel & Graham

Buttermere is a beautiful cottage. Great location situated not far from the coast and surrounding harbours. I would highly recommend staying there and it will be the first place I try and book when I go back.

Beautiful cottage in a gorgeous location. Had everything I could want or need. Owners were lovely, friendly and helpful. Very quiet amongst the fields. Located near to Banff, Aberchirder and to Whitehills where I could get everything I needed for my vacation. Wholeheartedly recommend Buttermere.

Nice cafe at Delgatie Castle with tea and scones and cheese toasties. Brilliant fish and chips in Whitehills at Rockfish. It’s not open everyday and very popular so call ahead for reservations or get take away. The servings were massive and the fish so fresh! Upstairs at the Spotty Bag in Banff has really good breakfast and scones with tea. And I’m told very good coffee. Home Bakery in High Street in Banff has good bread and pastries
