About this property
This semi-detached two storey ex fisherman's cottage rests in the peaceful village of Cullen, with sea views from the doorstep, and a charming interior perfect summer through to winter. Suited for families or friends wanting to come together in style, Sea Breeze Cottage is a breath of fresh air, thoughtfully decorated with an enticing home from home feel. The lounge is paired with sumptuous seating, and a dining table for four people, all sitting before the Victorian feature fireplace, and its glow surround, which is effortlessly projected around the room. Relax here in the evening for a cosy end to the day. The ground floor is also joined by a fresh white family bathroom with a walk in shower, and a beautiful king-size bedroom lifted by low lighting, with fitted wardrobes included. Continuing the front-facing aspect, the single bedrooms are each soothingly presented with neutral decor, sloped ceilings, and comfy cushions for an all-round calming effect. You will look forward to a peaceful night's sleep, followed by a lovely morning in the breakfast room/kitchen which is character-fully centred by a range oven, with a pretty table, and collection of appliances to make your stay that much more comfortable. For a change of scenery, why not take your warm cup of tea out to the little courtyard, a delightful place to settle down and plan out those up and coming adventures. Although the wealth of Cullen was built on textiles in the 18th century, the town is best known for its fishing heritage. Visitors can enjoy Cullen’s delightful sandy beach, the famous Ice Cream Shop, regarded by many as Scotland’s best ice cream parlour, a fine selection of shops and restaurants, and the historic city of Elgin. An attractive town, originally built around the mouth of the Burn of Deskford perfect for every visitor. EPC Rating: Band E

Cottage was very clean, well appointed and more spacious than you think. Great beds, comfy sofas, excellent shower and the kitchen has everything you need. Great walks from the door, fabulous views from the cliffs and sandy beaches. Small Co-op in Cullen but a large Tesco 5 minutes away in Buckie. Helpful hosts. Would love to return, thoroughly recommended.

Lovely accommodation with all the facilities needed to ensure a pleasant stay. Highly recommend to anyone needing a peaceful holiday in a quiet Scottish village. The cottage placement is quite convenient, as our previous stays have been down at the beach level, which made it a tiresome walk each time we wanted to go to the shops. Sea Breeze is a short walk to the shops and quick access to the harbour. Cullen itself is a very quiet village. Having said that, there are many places to visit either walking distance or a short drive. Check out the pet cemetery, the beach and extend your walk further up to Portknockie. The view over the sea is outstanding. Drive out to Elgin or Inverness. Cullen village has the essential shops including a Co-op, post office, fish & chip shop, and a Chinese takeaway. A large Tesco supermarket is not too far away near Buckie. Thank you to Alex & Alison for answering the queries we had very quickly. Hope to visit the cottage again next year.
