What a location! We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay. Beautiful and well appointed flat, with gorgeous views across the harbour and bay beyond. We enjoyed eating at the local pub, walking along the beach towards Finhorn and in the forest. We got lucky and saw some seals from the flat too! The host was very responsive when we had an issue accessing the flat. Would strongly recommended.

Lovely apartment with outstanding views of the harbour. Especially loved watching the seals who appeared multiple times a day. Slight issue on arrival but was swiftly dealt with with great communication. Plenty of room and very clean. Overall, would highly recommend and would not hesitate to stay here again.

Always love our stays here

This is a lovely property, ideally situated to watch the wildlife in the harbour and to stretch your legs on the beach. Really comfortable beds, well provided for in terms of facilities and access to wider Moray coast. I'd like to keep this our secret please!

Amazing!

Located right on the harbor with the ability to watch harbor activities 24/7. Beautifully updated this 3 bedroom, 3 bath home was quiet and met all of our needs. Beds and living room furniture were comfortable and well maintained.

Most fabulous view from a VERY comfortable flat

Perfectly decorated, laid out and equipped. The views across the Harbour can't be beat. For us Americans, leaving town for groceries and meals wasn't a hassle - so used to driving. Lovely town and if we were a larger group could have happily prepared all meals there.

Burghead beauty

Plenty of room for 6 adults, 3 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms (although the single beds might be more suited for children as not particulary comfortable.) Living room has big beautiful bay windows overlooking the harbor. Dining table for six, french press for coffee, two sofas, plenty of seating. Beautiful location, walk to Pictish fort, coastal walk to Hopeman, nice restaurant in town.

Charming apartment right on the water

The Bessie is located at the end of the pier with stunning views out to the bay and the harbour. Easy walk to the beach or into town for groceries or a meal (Bothy highly recommended). Wake up to seals playing in the harbour and gulls circling overhead waiting for the fishing boats to come and go. Comfortable beds and furniture, well equipped kitchen. We plan to return!

An absolute gem

Location is second to none. Burghead is a super village but apart from the co op and the superb Bothy Bistro there are no coffee shops or pubs etc which would have been nice. Would go again in a flash tho!

Awesome time at the Burghead apartment

The location of this wonderful apartment was perfect. We were able to walk right outside our door and watch two beautiful sunsets. We had fun watching the fishing boats come and go. My son had fun beachcombing too. The apartment itself was larger than expected. It is beautifully maintained, lovely and bright and overall very comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you would ever need for cooking and eating in. The beds were really comfortable. We would definitely stay again if given the opportunity.

Burghead break

The apartment is lovely Views are amazing, we watched the seals swimming in the harbour from the Livingroom window. Very nicely decorated property. One down side we had is there is only one shower in the property in the ensuite bedroom, no shower in the second bathroom just a bath, which when you have six people staying is not ideal. that the only negative to a really nice property, great location and super owner to deal with.

Ein Ort um die Seele baumeln zu lassen

Diese Unterkunft bekommt vo uns eine 1+. Wir suchten etwas ruhiges zum Ferienstart und wurden nicht entäuscht. Unser Highlight war der Strand - bei Ebbe endlos weit. Einfach ein Traum.

Beautiful location

We had a wonderful stay at the Bessie. The location was beautiful; we loved watching the ocean and enjoyed spening our mornings watching the seals play in front of the flat. Everything was clean and functioning, and we had a wonderful dinner our first night at the Bothy.

Wonderful stay!

The Bessie is such a lovely home away from home. The building and apartment itself has so much character and charm. The views are stunning, I will miss looking out to them with my morning coffee. A lovely 2 mile coastal cycle to Hopeman and a short drive to Findhorn. Plenty of things to do and see, location was fantastic. Easy check in process and the host was very welcoming and easy to contact. We would highly recommend a stay here and would book to stay here again.

Beautiful Bessie!

We stayed in The Bessie for just under a week - the accommodation was beautiful - as was the location; you could never tire of the view. A beautiful beach and harbour right on your doorstep. Ruth was an excellent host. Burghead was very central for the places we wanted to visit, but to be honest we could have quite happily stayed there all day, every day. We cannot wait to visit again (and did not want to leave). Just heavenly x

Online photos don’t do justice to how beautiful the flat really is. Waking up to look out over the harbour is just great.
