Findochty Holiday Cottage - Cosy cottage with Private Garden and Sea View

The cottage is cosy and quirky, with a modern touch. With a stunning coastline and two beaches right on the doorstep, there are many walks and places to explore. Just 90 minutes drive from Inverness, Aberdeen and the Cairngorms you can experience the city, mountains and fantastic beaches all in one holiday! The dolphins are seen regularly during the summer and the cottage makes an excellent base for exploring the area - there is plenty to do from castles, golf, whisky distilleries, wildlife watching, or just simply building sandcastles! The cottage is the perfect place to escape and totally relax in this quiet village. Findochty (locally pronounced Finechty) oozes character. Wander around the higgly piggledy narrow streets with the many multi-coloured houses to appreciate the real charm of this traditional Scottish village. We love Findochty, we think you will too.

NB: Please note due to the quirky nature of the cottage it has a narrow staircase and is not suited to people with mobility issues.

We had the best weekend stay in this perfect little house. Sparkly clean, comfy beds, well thought out and everything you could think of. We loved the little extras … bubbles, milk, shortbread and chocolate biscuits .. even a bowl, towel and trays for Louis the Frenchie . Thanks again Clare and Steve … can’t wait to come back.

Great well equipped cottage
We were very pleased with our stay at this cottage and enjoyed the location. Findochty is a historic fishing village. There was plenty to do. The icing on the cake for me was seeing the dolphins swimming out at sea.

Great cottage for a relaxing break
Lovely hosts who have a wonderful well equipped cosy cottage. The cottage is superbly located for an easy stroll to the secluded beach. Weather permitting, the cottage has a terraced area over two levels enabling you to sit out and have a meal or enjoy a sundowner on the top level whilst watching the sea. Going to sleep and waking up to the sound of the sea is the best. WiFi was super fast. A highly recommended cottage to get away from it all and simply chillax.

A wonderful exerience!
Wir hatten eine tolle Woche in dem gemütlichen und sehr gut ausgestatteten Haus. Das Meer ist tatschlich direkt vor der Haustür, Findochty ist ein schöner Ort und eine gute Basis um bei schönem Wetter die Gegend zu erkunden oder es sich bei Sturm & Regen im Haus gemütlich zu machen. Für uns ein Glücksfall! Absolut liebenswert war das Starterpaket mit Prosecco, Milch, Speck, Eiern, Brötchen und vielem mehr mit dem uns Clare & Steve überraschten. Gerne wieder!

Schon die Begrüßung war außerordentlich: Sehr warmherzig und mit vielen kulinarischen Überraschungen. Das Haus war perfekt eingerichtet, sehr modern, dabei aber auch gemütlich. Uns haben noch mal besonders die vielen kleinen Details gefallen, die Duke Street Nr. 4 zu etwas ganz besonderem machen!
