Description of Mitchell's Holiday Cottage - Gardenstown: Mitchell's Cottage has the traditional charm of a 19th century fisherman's cottage with an open fire in the living room, together with a high standard of accommodation for up to 5/6 people in 3 bedrooms. It has just been refurbished and modernised to be a welcoming home-from-home.
The cottage is in a quiet location and has sea views from two of the bedrooms. It has a cosy and romantic, but yet family feel to it.
Gardenstown, or Gamrie as it's known locally, is situated on the north-east coast of Scotland and has big skies, big seas, and it nestles below dramatic red sandstone cliffs. . It has rows of prettily-painted traditional fishermen's cottages, a beach and is one of the most beautiful villages in Scotland. It has a nice old-fashioned family feel to it, with its own butcher and bakers (not a candlestick maker although there used to be a candle-maker).
The local pub, the Garden Arms is 100 yards away from the front door of Mitchell's Cottage and has a roaring fire, no tv, and no mobile phone reception so is the perfect place to get to know the locals. It also does great food at the weekend.
There are gorgeous walks around the village or simply stay at home with a dram in front of the open traditional fire.

Local Attractions close to Mitchell's Holiday Cottage - Gardenstown:
The north-east coast of Scotland is one of Scotland’s hidden treasures. Away from the tourist hoards, this gem of an area has big, light filled skies, amazing long sandy beaches, and friendly folk who even have their own dialect! There is also the blessing of relatively no midges....
You are near to the Grampian and Highland mountains and hills for the serious climbers and walkers, but there are hundreds of more leisurely strolls or smaller hills locally for the less adventurous.
Because you are on the coast, the sea and its natural bounty has played a huge part in the fortunes of the area, with deep sea fishing and the oil industry. There are plenty of sea leisure activities to do locally, from a simple boat ride to try and find dolphins or amaze at the birdlife clinging to the cliffs, to kite surfing and diving. Go for a trip to Fraserburgh and look out for the surfers on the beach. Nearby Rosehearty is renowned as a fantastic place to go diving and look at the abundant - and surprisingly colourful - wildlife in the sea.
Gardenstown, or Gamrie (pronounced Game-rie) has rows of prettily-painted traditional fishermen's cottages, and the coast enjoys some of the best weather in Scotland - dry and sunny and does not suffer from midges!
