    We really like staying in this comfortable house.The facilities are more than we need and we look forward to returning again. The garden overlooks the sea and there are shops, cafes and a friendly pub in walking distance. The parking is good too.

Portsoy, host to the annual boat festival in June and recent film settings, is a lovely place to visit. Our cottage on one level, is spacious, light and airy close to the town centre with wonderful views from the extensive garden out to the Moray Firth (a barbeque and garden furniture for the summer days are provided). The dining kitchen is very well equipped with the garden room alongside it providing additional space for relaxing, reading, games etc., handy for when it gets busy. Our living room at the front of the property is comfortable with a log burner for guests arriving in the autumn/winter season. The 2 bedrooms are spacious, of equal size with built in wardrobes, the shower room is well designed and there is also a further toilet, all newly refurbished. Looking forward to hosting you!
Portsoy is a lovely spot for those who enjoy nature and discovering a rugged coastline. Also, in the area: golfing, cycling, antique shops, whisky trail & dolphin watching. The Portsoy Boat Festival is also a big favourite every year at the end of June.
