About this property

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.

We have stayed at this cottage several times and really love it. Its major selling point is its location, opposite the slip shore in Findochty a few steps away from a small beach, a green with benches and tables and amazing views - ships, boats and dolphins passing by regularly. The cottage itself is well equipped and comfortable with everything you need for a self catering stay. Beds are comfortable and shower is good. Findochty is a lovely peaceful, calm place, very friendly people and great if you enjoy walking. We will definitely be going back.

The cottage was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. The view is just stunning - watching the sunset was incredible and we were lucky enough to see dolphins twice. The telescope was a fantastic bonus. We have fallen in love with Findochty and Cullen so we have every intention of coming back! Thank you so much it’s a lovely property.

The reason for the “good” rating for the accuracy of the listing was that the beauty of the area and cottage far exceeded the listing. We were blown away and only wished that we could have stayed longer.

Couldn't fault the place, it was lovely.excellent location. Loved it being so close to the wee beach cove. 1st holiday that we've had that had everything I like doing on its door stop. Fishing, Kayaking, crabbing, metal detecting, dog walking, . Going on decent walks along the coast. ( All without leaving the village which is a rare thing) Also got a 20 inch pizza delivered to the house which was a bit of a novelty for us. The wife would come back just for the bath and shower. Already looking at rebooking .

Fantastic property in a fantastic location. A large spacious property which is nice to have the space to move and not feel on top of each other. Easy access to the beach and the kids loved it. It’s nice to stay somewhere where you’re not battling with the heating, the property was nice and warm throughout. First visit and will definitely return.

Thank you so much for having us for the last few days. We’ve had such a lovely stay. The house was perfect for our wild swimming adventures, and we rounded it off with one final dip on your beach before leaving.It’s a fantastic house, we loved looking out onto such a pretty beach and amazing vista. The shower was wonderfully hot and much appreciated after swimming!Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

Local(ish) family of 3 who enjoy spending time here when its possible. Happy to share our holiday home and the views with others.

Why they chose this property

Immediately opposite a small cove, with its rocks and sandy beach, plus a grassy area which has picnic tables and a bbq area. Short walk from the harbour, local shop, pub and a few other larger sandy beaches. Very relaxing and a good escape from everyday life.

What makes this property unique

Traditional looking fisherman’s house but in fact a newly built property so has the character but also the cosiness.
