Description from manager

Description

The fourth addition to our small ‘portfolio’ of luxury coastal cottages, we think this may just be our best. Set in the picturesque ‘get-away-from-it-all’ fishing village of Sandend, between the pretty harbour towns of Cullen and Portsoy, this cottage has stunning views over the wide sandy beach from the kitchen, lounge and two front bedrooms. The elevated garden terrace and summer house, again with stunning views, are ideal for outdoor entertaining and barbeques. Fantastic coastal walks right from your doorstep makes this an ideal cottage for dog owners or walkers and children will love the beach.

This part of the North East of Scotland also lends itself to day trips, exploring the Castle trail, partaking in a dram along the Whisky Trail or perhaps getting close to the dolphins and other wildlife along the Moray Firth. We are sure you will enjoy a break on the beautiful Banffshire Coast.

Getting around

There is a bus route which will take you along the coast to Elgin via Cullen or Banff via Portsoy, however a car is recommended!

Interaction with guest

Guests can pick up their keys whenever they arrive from a small key safe. I usually pop in to say hello at some stage during the visit, as I often walk my dogs on Sandend Beach, but I am always only a phone call away if guests want some local information.
