A lovely place that we really enjoyed!
Pros:

The Cove Bay is beautifully located by the sea, with a lovely atmosphere and wonderful views.
Breakfast is freshly prepared with great care and attention, and you can really tell that a lot of love goes into it.
The staff have that wonderfully direct and no-nonsense Scottish manner – firm at times, but always friendly, warm and likeable. It definitely added to the charm of our stay.

Un tranquillo rifugio, comodo e accogliente nei pressi di Aberdeen
Pros:

Tranquillo rifugio nei pressi di Aberdeen in dimora storica, ben arredato e confortevole.
Ha un gran salone con vista mare e la mattina la colazione è spettacolare quando il sole attraversa le ampie vetrate.
Colazione abbondante e ben servita, con ampia scelta.
Lo staff è accogliente e premuroso.
Nello stesso salone la sera è possibile cenare, ma avendo soggiornato una sola notte non lo abbiamo provato.
