Guests that stayed at this property said
Reviewers frequently commend the cottage for its immaculate presentation and high standard of cleanliness, contributing to a welcoming and comfortable stay.
The property's location is celebrated for its beautiful sea views, proximity to coastal walks, and friendly village setting. Its convenience for exploring the north east coast is also appreciated.
The cottage is described as cosy and comfortable, with ample space and a relaxing sunroom. However, a few guests mentioned the sofas and beds could be firmer, especially for those with back pain.
Facilities are generally praised for being very well equipped, with everything needed for a stay. There is a mention of the lack of a tumble dryer, but this is offset by the provision of other amenities.
Guests are touched by the thoughtful welcome packs provided, which include groceries and treats. While these gifts are warmly received, it is important to note that such extras are subject to availability and are not guaranteed.
About this property
With a stunning sun room providing panoramic sea views this well-presented fisherman's cottage makes a great holiday home in the village of Portknockie. Seascape is a spacious, smart detached stone cottage with close proximity to the sea and is ideal for a family or group of friends wanting to spend time together and explore the north east coastline of Scotland which has so much to recommend it. The generously proportioned ground floor of the cottage comprises a large open plan living area with kitchen, dining area and sitting area with a woodburning stove, where guests will gather at the end of a busy day to chat while the meals are being prepared. A step up from this room is the stunning sun room which offers uninterrupted views out to sea and is a quiet place for relaxation and reflection, perfect for enjoying a glass of wine while watching a summer sunset. If you are lucky, you might even see a pod of dolphins passing. There is also a smart sitting room with open fire and a shower room completes the ground floor accommodation. The upper floor has a double bedroom and a twin bedroom both benefiting from sea views along with a family bathroom. For adults and children this coastline is fabulous with rocky cliffs, golden sandy beaches and pretty villages and the nearby village of Cullen with enhanced facilities can actually be accessed via a coastal walk of about a mile. A holiday in this area means that so much is accessible and both the cities of Aberdeen and Inverness can be visited making great days out. This tasteful and welcoming cottage ticks all the boxes and ensures a fabulous holiday on a wonderful coastline. EPC Rating: Band E
The coastal village of Portknockie is situated on a cliff-top overlooking a natural harbour on the Moray Firth coast. Explore the cliff-tops, beaches and coves, or look out for dolphins, seals and sea birds. Nearby is the delightful town of Cullen and within driving distance is Elgin with its cathedral.

Kitchen very convenient and again well stocked. Beds comfortable. Beautiful views over the sea from the comfortable sun room. Owners very helpful. What more is there to say? We loved our week, and there were plenty of places to visit even in May.

Beautiful location with coastal walks from the doorstep. Panoramic sea views from the comfort of the sun room for dolphin spotting. Would highly recommend this property.

Facilities the best with everything you needed. The only negative was we didn't get a starter pack of logs and the microwave needs replacing, but didn't spoil what was a holiday to remember.
