Description from owner
Description
Quiet and peaceful location, away from day to day life, surrounded by the natural beauty of nature, and facing directly out over the Moray Firth, this fisherman's style cottage is ideal for a special or romantic break or just for a great family holiday. Stunning walks from the front door along the beach, cliffs, harbour or to neighbouring villages. Dolphin spotting can be done without getting up from the sofa.
Ideal location for touring this beautiful corner of Scotland whether it be the Castle trail; the Whisky trail, or day trips to the many small villages along this coast.
Sorry, but we don't allow pets in the cottage.

“Beautiful Seafront Cottage”
Seafront cottage stands in a remarkable situation with stunning views of which you never tire. The cottage was spotlessly clean and would return anytime soon. My only complaint is the lack of freezer space and small fridge, and as there is no shops to speak of in the village its important to be able to store food for as long as possible so a bigger freezer would have been very helpful, even if it had been kept under the stairs as its not a big kitchen, therefore little space. However even with this inconvenience i would still give this place a 5* rating. Thank you Brian, we loved your house and can't wait to return next year.

“The sea view”
The amazing view from the cottage is constantly changing with the tide, sun and wildlife - awesome sunsets, sand and rock pools - an absolute gem of the North. The cottage is a 5* home from home.
