"I had a lovely stay, the staff were really friendly, and breakfast was really nice, I had the eggs and salmon because you don’t often get that option. I also had 2 lovely cups of coffee using in the fancy machine in my room. I also noticed there were the little cartons of Soya milk which I thought was a great touch."

"An excellent hotel. Staff were very nice and attentive. Food was excellent. Although slightly expensive the quality was worth it."

"Really conformable stay at fife lodge hotel. It felt more luxurious than other accommodations we have stayed in on our trip, staff service was excellent. We stayed in the executive double room and the extra space this room offers I would highly recommend. The bed was so comfy and it is in a good location to explore the surrounding areas. "

"Great location, beautiful views "

"Very quiet in a quaint setting "

"I love the Wee Cottage! My husband joined me for the first 4 days and I stayed for another 10. The cottage is SO cute and just what everyone wants for a writer's retreat! My husband and I did the Duff House walk & Banff history walk (there is a WalkHighlands website that has a ton of walks). For dinner we went to a lovely restaurant at the top of the hill in MacDuff, Knowles Hotel. We also grabbed groceries as there is no shop in Pennan!We went to Macallan for tastings and dinner at Time:Spirit (you’ll need reservations for both). I would recommend lunch versus dinner (6 vs. 10-courses) or head to The Craigellachie Hotel pub, we had an excellent lunch. In Aberlour, there is a lovely butcher, great fancy foods store, Walker Biscuit factory and store, and the walk up to the Linn waterfall is fun. Keith also looks great, but we didn’t have time!Johnson of Elgin has a full factory tour that was very worthwhile. Seeing the full operation was one of my favorite things and we then had a full tea there. They only do the full tea with 24-hours notice so make a reservation. We enjoyed walking around Elgin as well and did stop at a few of the small towns on the way. Without a car, Pennan means a bunch of walking which was just what I was looking for! Gardenstown and Cullen are great!I spent lots of days just hanging out, walking the Pennan beach head, enjoying Coastal Cuppie and Pennan Inn, and sitting in my cashmere socks (Johnson of Elgin).I’ll be back for two weeks again!"

"We loved it! Life is crazy right now and we just needed a place to rest and relax. This cottage did that for us! Thank you Susan for making us feel at home! "

"A friendly traditional hotel with high standards of cleanliness and good service. Breakfasts and dinners were excellent but the toilet cistern in our first floor room took some 15 minutes to refill causing some problems. "

"Lovely house. Had everything we needed. We will definitely use the house again!"
