We had a wonderful stay at The Boathouse at the Creek. This charming, standalone vacation home is incredibly spacious and beautifully cozy, while still offering all the modern comforts you could ask for. The interior is a true reflection of the owner’s artistic touch, making it feel both welcoming and inspiring – a real home away from home. One of the highlights of our trip was the nearby RSPB Nature Reserve Fowlsheugh, just 1.5 miles away on foot. It’s the largest seabird colony in the UK, and seeing puffins among the millions of other birds was a truly unforgettable experience. Just 3 miles from the Boathouse, the dramatic clifftop ruins of Dunnottar Castle offer breathtaking views and a fascinating glimpse into Scottish history. If you’re in the mood for a classic beach day, the stunning sands and scenic dunes of St. Cyrus Beach are only 12 miles away – the perfect spot for a coastal walk or a picnic. Overall, it was the perfect base for both relaxing and exploring this beautiful part of Scotland. We can’t wait to come back!

“Unique upside down house”
Very clean and lovely bespoke décor. Good communication from host. Clear directions as to how to find the property and collect the keys. Lovely walks in the countryside with RSPB reserve close by. Well worth the walk.

“Absolutely wonderful weekend with our family making new memories 😊”
The Boathouse is stunning. We loved the upside down aspects of it as it made for beautiful views from the large living room window. The house was spotlessly clean, warm and very comfortable. Absolutely everything apart from your own food is supplied for you which is fabulous. Loved it and would highly recommend it 😊.

“Anyone looking for Scottish east coast flair will find it here.”
The house is really beautiful and so well decorated and furnished, you feel comfortable. The location is awesome, you can watch the rabbits at breakfast and enjoy the view. It is a 25-minute walk to the sea and you can even watch dolphins in addition to seals. It was an unforgettable stay.
