Outside
The cottage has the added bonus of some outside space. There is a patio to the front of the cottage and a rockery with shared rotary clothes dryer. At the top of a few steps is a new decked area with sea views where you could have a barbeque or just sit and admire the view.
Coast/Beach
The cottage is only 30 metres from the sea and the garden enjoys views over Gamrie Bay where you may catch sight of a dolphin. The bay has many interesting features including rockpools, the sandy beach and the harbour. The dolphin and whale rescue centre is located in the village. At the nearby towns and villages you could try some outdoor pursuits, take a boat trip or perhaps even do some scuba diving. Bird watching is popular at nearby Troup Head.
Golf
There are many good golf courses in the North of Scotland. Too many to name individually, but the best local courses are: Duff House Royal and Royal Tarlair.
Travel
Aberdeen is the nearest city and is only 45 miles south. The city has an international airport, railway and bus stations providing onward travel links throughout the UK and beyond. The highland capital of Inverness is the next nearest city and like Aberdeen has an airport and good train links. It is advisable to have use of a car to fully appreciate what the area has to offer. However the village does have a local bus service to Banff (6 miles).
Distances
The next village along the coast is Pennan which was used as a location in the film "Local Hero", and there are several other coastal villages which are worth a visit. The nearest towns of Banff and Macduff (6 miles) offer more choice of shops, restaurants and leisure activites. The Marine Aquarium in Macduff is well worth a visit as is Duff House Art Gallery and the Scottish Lighthouse Museum in Fraserburgh (12 miles). You could also discover the Whisky or Castle Trail.
Further details
Within the village all the basic services are provided. There are a couple of grocery shops, a post office, butchers, bakery, gallery with cafe, restaurant (open in the mid-high season) and of course a good local pub which serves food. The nearby towns of Banff and Macduff will offer a wider range of shops and services.

Guest comments
Hi Jo and Stuart, Just a note to say a very big thank you for our wonderful stay at Alexander Cottage! After our 13 hour drive the house was a welcome and peaceful relief. We thought the cottage was great and the area fantastic. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful house and place with us... Warm wishes, Katie and Simon. (June 2007)
Dear Joanna & Stuart, Just a quick note to thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful holiday house. We had a wonderful time and consider ourselves privileged to have experienced such a pristine area, you are indeed lucky. I have come away with tons of photos and beautiful memories. Thank you. Andrew & Therese (Brisbane, Australia - June 2007)
We are just back from a weeks stay at the cottage and wanted to let you know what a great time we had. We loved the cottage and the area, and spent a lot of our sunny evenings sitting up at the garden area. Our kids had a great adventure - they're 4 and 2.
