A hearty Scottish welcome awaits at 'Crooked Hythe' a cosy renovated listed building retaining the external characteristics of a traditional fisher cottage whilst having all the comforts of modern living. Overlooks the beach from where in days of yore, the steam drifters of the local fishermen were built, and from where the artist John Hook painted the famous 'Home With The Tide' which hangs in the Tate Gallery. The patio area to the rear provides you with total privacy from which you can enjoy the sheer beauty of the sea, al fresco dining, and wonderful sunsets. The Moray Firth dolphins can regularly be seen in the Firth, sometimes providing live entertainment - bring your binoculars! At other times, the local yachts and creel boats sail past the back door and give the occupants of Crooked Hythe a true living seascape to enjoy. Open plan style living area, bright and cheery, but ideal for relaxing and unwinding. Perfect for sharing with someone special, friends or family.
