Very well situated place to stay. Cullen is a lovely spot and the locals are friendly. There are some lovely walks that are easy to get to without driving and the beach is also delightful. The wildlife is great and I saw both dolphins and seals in the bay. The cottage was well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay.

Cottage was lovely, very comfortable and in a good location. Plenty of good walks nearby and beach is only minutes away. Our highlight was watching dolphins playing in the bay. A great view from the harbour wall.

Sandyford felt cosy and homely, but with some stylish tweaks that felt nice on holiday. We weren't short on any equipment or amenities in the cottage and in terms of location, we were able to fill a lot of our week with activities we could do right from the door- car free, just feet and paws. Overall, a lovely base to explore the Moray coast. PerfeRead morect for one or two people with a dog in tow. We'd recommend and we'd come back. Thanks! Hide

Sandyford is a lovely small cottage in a perfect location in Cullen. The furnishings and decor are upscale and you will want for nothing during your stay. A very comfortable spot to come home to after days exploring the beautiful surroundings. Book this place. You can't go wrong.
