Modern Fisherman's Cottage with Stunning Uninterrupted Views of the Moray Firth
This beautifully built modern property is directly opposite one of the best secluded sandy beaches in Findochty, and has stunning views of the Moray Firth. In the 1800's fishing was conducted from this natural inlet and this is also where the famous painting 'Home With The Tide' was painted by James Clarke Hook, which currently hangs in the Tate Gallery. The house provides the perfect place for relaxation and unwinding. Spend some time wandering through the historic fishing streets and walk along to the marina to watch it's creel and pleasure boats, then amble up to the cliff tops to take in the panoramic views or even a spot of dolphin watching! There are other beaches within easy walking distance and opportunities to be more active with cycling, golfing and sailing nearby.

Everything about our stay was fantastic, the property was excellent, in a great location with sea views, and our own little beach. In the village there's a lovelly harbour, a well stocked shop and a pub that serves great meals. We did'nt see any dolphins, maybe next time.

Perfect location. Comfortable cottage with everything we needed. If I'm being very picky then we could have done with more places to hang/put away clothes. A few minor repairs needed but overall a good stay

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!
