About this property

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.

Perfect

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.

Lovely cottage

Everything you require for a smashing holiday, cottage fully equipped, signal strength patchy at times on phone and TV but was never to much of a problem. Nice little bay a stones throw away the village is great for walks although steep in places. Would fully recommend staying here....

About the host

Hosted by Clare Lock

Hello! We relocated to north east Scotland over 17 years ago from Oxford, and love it! The great outdoors, scenery, people and wildlife have us totally hooked. Being able to see dolphins on your doorstep is a magic experience and makes us smile - no matter how many times we see them! We think other people will love this area as much as we do so have taken on two very run down properties and turned them into something special for other people to enjoy... You can't help but relax and chill out the minute you arrive in Findochty.

Why they chose this property

Findochty is a really picturesque village, with quaint harbour, colourful houses, good amenities and friendly locals. It's such a relaxing place to be you'll feel a million miles away from anywhere. The walks along the coast are wonderful as are the deserted sandy beaches. We love wrapping up on a blustery day to marvel at the huge waves and power of mother nature. We regularly see the dolphins and have been lucky enough to see minke whales along this stretch of coastline too. We also sometimes get to see the Northern Lights during the winter - now that's a real treat!
The nearby gannet colony is definitely worth a visit as is the Scottish Dolphin Centre, where you stand a good chance of seeing dolphins and the resident osprey.
Steve loves playing golf and we're lucky enough to be surrounded by golf courses - there are plenty to choose from for all abilities.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is really quirky and very cosy, even on the wildest of days. Wandering down to the beach first thing in the morning with a steaming mug of tea is the perfect start to the day. The small beach is ideal for a beach BBQ with plenty of picnic tables and a place for the BBQ, all whilst building sandcastles and having a paddle! The beach is ideal for launching kayaks from or a spot of wild swimming, and there are some ideal spots for a bit of fishing.
There is wi-fi in the cottage and we supply an excellent welcome pack so you don't have to venture far on your first day. Tesco and Asda both do home delivery - just order before you leave home!
We want our guests to feel at home from the minute they arrive and start enjoying the delights this fantastic area has to offer.
