    Great price, lovely breakfast.

    The bathroom was shared, we like our own. My fault for not checking.

    Property response:

    Thanks for the fab review and for the tip(s). Id love to offer ensuite but the structure of the property makes this unfeasible and not a financially viable option. When inspected for the Short Term Lets, the 2 bathroom shower rooms were deemed as adequate for the 3 guest rooms. Im exactly the same when I go away. So it is a slight frustration for me, as host, that I cannot offer this. Great meeting you both. Take care.

    It was an amazing stay at Brendas place, we loved our room, everything we needed was there. Super clean, you could almost eat from the floor. The breakfast time was super nice with some chats & exchange with Brenda. We also were allowed to use the kitchen (fridge, microwave, etc). Many thanks for this exceptional welcome 🙏🏻

    Property response:

    It was a joy having you both stay. I also enjoyed our chats and the wee nuggets of pure comedy gold. I hope no more insect bites and for calmer seas on land! Thanks for sharing such useful info for other guests and the great review. Greatly appreciated.

    Brenda the host is lovely and very welcoming. Room was very comfortable and no complaints on facilities.

    Location. Not much to attract you to the immediate vicinity and was good for a place to stop rather than a place to stay

    Property response:

    Thanks for the positive feedback. I enjoyed our chats. We are in a quiet rural village so I get what you are saying about the location. Many people stay here as a base for easy access to the Bennachie Range National Cairngorm Park Balmoral Castle the Whiskey and Castle Trails. We are also quite centrally located for North Coast 500 North East 250.

    The breakfast was absolutely delicious. Brenda was very friendly and caring .

    I wish I could have Decaf tea.

    Property response:

    Thanks for the lovely feedback. It was a pleasure having you stay. The rooms have ordinary teabags, instant coffee and sugar but herbal teabags and fresh coffee is available in the kitchen. Take care.

    Brenda was a lovely host who made a great Scottish Breakfast. She is very knowledgeable about the area and a pleasure to talk to. Lovely views over the hills behind.

    Rooms are not with en-suite bathrooms, but it wasn’t a problem as we were the only ones staying.

    Property response:

    A joy having you both stay. Fab convo, very interesting. Thanks for advice on coffee machine! Would love ensuite. Costs are too high for small property which has only 3 guest rooms and 2 bathrooms already in situ. Take care.

    This is my second review because I stayed for 10 days and extended my stay for a full 2 weeks! A great home with a wonderful host. Because I stayed so longer, Brenda was more like a flatmate!! I came from NZ and the Cooperage was a very central village to make trips in all directions of the Highlands to visit castles etc. The scenery driving to get to places was so spectacular, that I had to stop often to take photos! My room was large, a comfy bed, a delicious generous cooked breakfast and I was able to cook my dinner when I needed to. I enjoyed the bath with bathsalts provided on arrival home from a couple of cold windy walks around castle gardens. The rain shower is excellent too. Brenda provided lots of little extras just in case they were needed. I added a photo of a double rainbow from my window, and a shot of Balmoral Castle A great place to stay, thanks Brenda.

    The booking.com advert didn't advise this was a property with a live in - residential host. We cancelled as once as we arrived on site and were informed.

    Property response:

    This is the bookers error, not a booking.com or host error. The fact double room with shared bathroom x 2 was booked, as per ad and it not being listed as entire property is clear when booking. Furthermore, all messages including the confirmation sent immediately after booking, is signed off with my name - Resident Host. Therefore, again providing further details of the type of stay. This has been the case for several years and is part of the auto templates I have created. Regarding refund - cancellation request only received via email after 5pm on the planned 2nd night stay. I was not informed of the reason for the cancellation until after the event through this feedback. When no-one appeared on the 1st night I messaged the booker to check if you would be arriving on the 2nd night. Both messages sent by text and on booking.com were again, signed off with my name - Resident Host. The booker then confirmed you would be there for the 2nd night. I did everything possible to ensure clarity and effective communication. The fact that no-one actually stayed, along with the booking being made by a third party, an apology being received due to a change of plans on the first nights planned stay and the extremely late request to cancel, midway through a booking, with no scope or time for others to access or book the rooms. Based on these circumstances, there was no alternative but to refuse the request to waive cancellation fees.
