About this property
The Boathouse has fantastic country views near spectacular coastal walks
Relax in the upstairs lounge enjoying the open country views, the wildlife on the window ledge and spectacular sunsets. Sleep snugly in the comfortable beds and dream sweetly in the silence of a Aberdeenshire country night. Take a short walk to Catterline to see the seals and enjoy a meal and a pint of real ale at the Creel Inn. Visit Fowlsheugh RSPB reserve and spot the puffins amongst the thousands of guillemots and razorbills.

About the host
Hosted by Mercedes Garcia and/or Gordon Duncan
We are husband and wife committed to provide a pleasant home from home experience at attractive rates per person per night.
Why they chose this property
We are in an area which is ideal for walking or cycling to breathe in the cool country air. The beauty of the clifftop Catterline village is within walking distance, as is the RSPB nature reserve at Fowlsheugh where you can see around 130,000 seabirds during nesting season. Puffins, dolphins and the occasional minke whale may also be spotted. The historic ruins of Dunnotar castle are a short drive away just before Stonehaven. Heading south is the land of Lewis Grassic Gibbon at Arbuthnott and beyond that one of the most beautiful beaches in Scotland at St Cyrus
What makes this property unique
Spectacular sunsets view from the upper level living room. Enjoy watching the horses exercising in the next door riding arena.
