  • Perfect coastal getaway in the beautiful little fishing village of Findochty on the Moray Firth Coast
  • Situated opposite the harbour wall and beach with spectacular sea views from the property
  • An ideal base to explore the picturesque harbour villages and sandy beaches along the Moray coast
Property code: OC-76557

With wonderful sea views, this traditional cottage is the perfect base to explore, relax and enjoy the coast with loved ones. Originally a fisherman’s cottage, the property is just a short stroll from the nearest beach in the picturesque village of Findochty. Enjoy a refreshment on the harbour front, take a boat trip to spot the resident dolphins or simply relax on one of this area’s sandy beaches. After a busy day, return to this inviting bolthole for a family meal with a sea view in the kitchen/diner followed by a cosy evening in front of the open fire.

 

Inside, this welcoming cottage is homely and bright, with traditional decor and plenty of natural light. Cook up a storm in the light and airy kitchen/diner, where a delightful round table overlooks the ever-changing harbour outside. At the end of a long day spent exploring the local area, stoke up the open fire and settle in for a cosy night on one of the inviting armchairs or sofas in the lounge. Lose yourself in a good book from the shelf or hunker down in front of the TV/DVD. Climb the cottage style steep narrow stair case to the first floor, where you will find two delightful bedrooms, both boasting lovely sea views and spectacular sunsets with the Caithness hills in the background. A small study between the rooms is ideal for anyone inspired to start their novel while away or simply catch up on some work.

 

Step outside to the front of the cottage to be greeted by breathtaking sea views and the bustling harbour below. To the rear, a suntrap garden with tiered south-facing patio and table and chairs is perfect for al fresco dining during those long summer afternoons and evenings. A charming summer house offers a cosy nook for when the weather turns chillier.

For us both, the cottage was as perfect as we could have expected, in that this was our second stay at the property. Some people might be pedantic and say certain home comforts were not there, but both of us actually felt the property was our home and hopefully this is reflected on the way we treated the property. It is hoped we have a third staRead morey soon or next year. Hide

a perfect cottage for 4, with beautiful view of the harbour and if you are lucky gorgeous sunsets. It is very well equipped and the beds are really comfortable. We went to sleep to the sound of the sea and woke in the morning to the sound of the Eider ducks in the harbour. It was really handy for visiting Spey Bay, Findhorn Bay and a number of RRead moreSPB reserves as well as the Cairngorms. We walked to BowFiddle Rock which is definitely worth a visit. The Admirals pub within a 5 minute walk serves good value for money meals and view of the sea. Hide

We loved our stay at the Beach House in Findochty. It is extremely well equipped and comfortable. It's location right by the harbour is great for sunsets, bird and boat spotting and for taking a cuppa to a harbour side bench and taking it all in. You walk straight out on to the coastal path and we enjoyed excellent walking in the area. We'd recommeRead morend a hike up The Bin Of Cullen, and walking to Cullen and back. Watching Gannets dive into the sea was a memorable sight. Hide

Fantastic location. The house has everything you would need and was really cosy and comfortable. There was a lovely small patio at the back which was a lovely, private suntrap. There was a restaurant/pub about 3 mins walk which served excellent food. Will certainly stay there again.

This is a lovely, airy, spacious cottage which is excellently decorated, extremely clean and has all the facilities one might reasonably require. The location of the cottage is amazing - right opposite the harbour with lovely views at all times of day. The village is quiet and friendly. I would definitely go back.
