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.

Great cottage
This was a lovely cottage in a fantastic location. The cottage was spotless and fully equipped with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The view from the living room window of the beach across the road was great and we even watched a pod of dolphins swim by. I highly recommend this cottage.

So sorry to leave
We have stayed at this cottage many times and love it. It's location is excellent with great views and a small beach and green very close so you don't miss not having a garden. We had many get togethers with friends and family just outside our front door. Children really love it. The cottage itself is clean, comfortable and well equipped. The owners are friendly, helpful and always respond promptly. The area has loads of places to visit and great walks. The local people are lovely and friendly too. We are always sorry to leave but know we will be back.

Clean, quiet cottage with marvellous views. Kitchen large and well equipped. Beds and settees comfy. Good base for walking the coastal path. Would like to come back. Only negative was the one very small bath towel each and no individual hand towels, or dishcloth.

Lovely property, great location and excellent area
We enjoyed a great week here in the area for the first time. The property met all our expectations and was a lovely base for activities in the area. We had some conversation with the host before our stay, checking a couple of things and responses were what you would hope for. The house is very comfortable with everything we needed for a good week's holiday - would be a super family base as well - the little beach opposite is a constant pleasure to see and pop over to for an outdoor coffee, etc.

February break
A very cute wee house right on the beach with a stunning view. Easy access to the costal paths and East Beach and just a very short walk to the rest of Findochty. Good location for exploring the area. The house is relatively new and although we were 2, it would suit a family of 4.

Lovely house near beach front. The house itself isnt massive, but feels spacious and well looked after. We had some challenges with heating, but owner was happy to help. Lights at stairs probably need new batteries as they werent working, but all in all a lovely holiday home.
