A pleasant relaxing stay
good instructions on how to find the property and gain entry. Very well equipped kitchen. Property cleaned to a high standard. Comfortable beds. Lovely views over the Moray firth.Good drawer space but no wardrobe as was mentioned in a previous review. We brought our own over the door hangers that resolved that little problem. All in all a lovely relaxing stay.

Fantastic location
We had a great stay. The cottage had everything we needed, plus the lovely view. Findochty is a very photogenic village, so I was out and about taking photos at all hours! On our arrival we were welcomed by dolphins frolicking in the sea in front of the cottage. The evening before our departure we were treated to the sight of a pod of orcas cruising past, quite close to the shore.

I had a really perfect stay at the cottage. The property itself is well equipped and really homely and the location is just amazing. Watched the dolphins right from the house, saw amazing sunsets and dipped in the sea at the cove. One of the nicest places I’ve stayed.

Fantastic stay in beautiful area in cosy house
My partner, friend, and I had the pleasure of staying at this charming house in the lovely fishing town of Findochty over the New Year period, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. The house itself was beautiful, well-maintained, and offered stunning views of the sea. Waking up to the sound of the waves and the sight of the ocean was truly magical.The location was perfect for our needs, providing a peaceful and picturesque setting while still being close to local amenities. We enjoyed exploring the town and the surrounding area, which offered plenty of opportunities for scenic walks and relaxation.Our hosts were fantastic—responsive, friendly, and easy to communicate with. They provided us with all the information we needed for a comfortable stay, and their attention to detail was evident throughout the house. We felt very well taken care of.Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a memorable getaway in Scotland. Thank you for making our New Year special!

As soon as I arrived the cottage felt very warm and welcoming. Everything I needed was there. The owner was always very responsive to my silly questions. I can highly recommend a stay here especially for families as it’s a very spacious property will hopefully be returning some time in 2025

all very good
Arrived in darkness to find a lovely dwelling by the coast. Clean with plenty of space. There was a small issue with the boiler/heating but this was quickly resolved; and we were offered a later check-out or an extra night. We took the later! No issues - the weather wasn't great so we were limited in where we could get to but to be expected that far north in November!
