About this property

Sharing Sunsets and Tides!

This superb holiday cottage in the conservation Seatown area of Gardenstown was originally a fisherman's cottage, built in the 19th century and is directly on the Moray Firth seafront.
The cottage is ideal for a family of four, or a couple looking for an away from it all break. It is not ideally suited for two couples.
Lie in bed listening to the sound of the waves lapping at the sea wall directly below you. The property was modernised a few years ago and features; a lounge with three sea view windows; large eating kitchen; bathroom with bath and shower over and upstairs one double bedroom and a twin bedroom.
Features include a wood burning stove; Wi-Fi; quality cotton bedding; 40" flat screen wall mounted smart television, normally with Netflix available; bose bluetooth music unit and of course stunning sea views. Look out for the school of dolphins in the Moray Firth, which if you are fortunate could be viewed from inside the cottage.
The kitchen has a dining table for four; washing machine; fridge/freezer; oven and hob etc.
Situated at the bottom of sandstone cliffs, Gardenstown was founded in 1744 and the harbour now caters for small fishing vessels and pleasure boats.
The small winding streets, picturesque harbour and old stone fisherman's cottages seem untouched by time and the spectacular views, headland and bays round the village make a haven for artists, photographers and bird watchers, while the sandy beaches and rocky coves and pools make it a location for all ages.
Bookings are weekly on a Saturday to Saturday basis.
Sorry, we do not allow pets.

Harbour wall cottage
Beautifully appointed cottage overlooking the sea. Scary step out of bedroom onto steep stair. Very narrow road to property. However lovely spot to enjoy peace and quiet. Underfloor heating in bathroom a real treat. The welcome pack was extra special and unexpected. Thank you

Lovely location
The property was as described, 3 metres from the sea with views across the bay from the three lounge windows. A lovely location, a sandy beach to one side and the harbour to the other with a short walk round the bay to Crovie. We only ventured out of Gardenstown once, to Macduff, as we were more than happy to stay in the village walking on the sand, round the bay or just sitting at the arbour. We did go up to the ruins of St Johns church, an energetic climb up the valley, but wonderful views from the top. There is a "Wee Shoppie" on Main Street which is well stocked with everything we needed, the Garden Arms Hotel provided meals on three of our nights there and the fresh haddock was excellent. Our daily walk on returning home was just not the same !

The house is right on the sea wall so brilliantly located. The views of the sea are uninterrupted. The house is well equipped and the owner left helpful instructions.
