    We loved the location. We stayed for 7 nights and it's a great base to explore the North East coast of Scotland. The yurt was very clean, surprisingly spacious, located in a peaceful setting and the most important thing to us is that it was dog friendly. Jackie and Paul were brilliant hosts and we have already recommended this place to our friends and family.

    The house was in an ideal location - quiet area of the city, close to the sea. The furnishing was very cozy with a fireplace and a garden. The house had all the equipment you need and very clean as well. The communication with the host before and during our stay was perfect, very responsive and caring. Would recommend!
