Nestled along the stunning Scottish coast in Portknockie, the cottage's location is truly mesmerising. The comfort was like a home away from home. A true testament to the care and dedication of the proprietors.

The owners have thought of everything. I didn't need to take my cafetiere even. The cottage is warm and comfortable with the heating and gas fire and drying clothes after a wet walk is not a problem. With beautiful coastal scenery, an award winning chippy round the corner and a Spar what more can you want? We had a lovely week.
