Seaspray Cottage in Buckie is highly praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and proximity to the sea. Guests appreciate the well-equipped space, the thoughtful welcome basket, and the property's suitability for dogs, despite some concerns about the garden's security. The location serves as an excellent base for exploring the Moray coast, with friendly neighbours and local amenities enhancing the stay.

Guests consistently note the cottage's spotless condition upon arrival, comparing its cleanliness favourably even to upscale hotels.

The cottage's location is celebrated for its quiet setting near the sea and as a convenient base for coastal exploration, with easy access to local towns and beaches.

The cottage is described as cosy, warm, and comfortable, with modern furnishings and a homely feel, although a few guests mention the sofa bed's comfort could be improved.

The welcome basket is frequently mentioned and appreciated, indicating a high level of thoughtfulness from the hosts, though it's noted that such gestures are a bonus and not guaranteed.

About this property

Settled besides the Moray coast, with scenic sea-views, is this traditional fishing cottage, Seaspray. Enjoying a central position in Buckie, just paces away from beaches with crystal waters, this single-storey cottage is idyllic for two couples or a family seeking an escape to Scotland. There is a sofa bed available in the living room if there is more than 2 of you. Arrive on the fishing lane and be greeted by the crashing waves nearby, close enough to spray you! Enter the stone-fronted cottage into the entrance hallway, here you can kick off your shoes and house them, ready for an adventure. Stepping through the home, locate the contemporary kitchen/ diner, with a gas cooker to rustle up culinary delights and a fridge to store your favourite bottle of wine. Settle down at the dining table to enjoy a hearty meal with your friends and family and afterwards admire the coastal view from the rear garden. Discover the sitting room, where you can unwind on the sumptuous sofa, which pulls out as a bed for flexible sleeping, and you can flicker through the Smart TV for a movie night in. As the sky grows dark, head to the family bathroom to melt your worries away in a bubble-bath or rinse the sand off under the overhead shower. There is a lovely, white-washed double bedroom to rest your head with storage to keep your personal belongings. Awaken in the enclosed garden with a cup of coffee in hand as you let the sea-breeze revitalize you. Uncover the history of Buckie at the Buckie and District Fishing Heritage Centre and view the North Pier Lighthouse at the handsome harbour. Whiskey connoisseurs will delight at the easy access to a fantastic selection of world-famous distilleries, including the Glenglassaugh Distillery, Auchroisk Distillery, Knockdhu Distillery and the Glen Moray Distillery, where you sample your favourites and even take a tour. Golfers can test their swing at Buckpool Golf Club and fishing lovers can make use of the superb fishing location. Venture to the cliff-top village of Portknockie for a haven of wildlife and scenery; here you can explore the deep Portknockie Woods and soak in the wonderful sights from Bow Fiddle Rock. Just a 1 mile walk west towards Portgordon you can look out for seals and dolphins playing in the waves. Jump in the car and visit the village of Cullen, home to hidden treasures such as the great Findlater Castle, a golden sandy beach, and quirky cafes to fuel your excursions. For memories you will cherish, choose Seaspray. EPC Rating: Band D

The burgh town of Buckie, on Scotland's north east coast, sits on either side of the Burn of Buckie, which overlooks the picturesque Moray Firth. It is a terrific coastal base from which to explore this magnificent region of Scotland, with a variety of shops and pubs. Regular boat tours depart from the harbours of Buckie and Macduff, offering the opportunity to observe bottlenose dolphins and a variety of sea birds. Spey Bay, to the west of town, is home to the Scottish Dolphin Centre and a great area to see dolphins and seals! The coastline, reaching in both ways from Buckie, is studded with charming fishing communities and magnificent beaches, ideal for a promenade while enjoying your fish and chips.

  • Susan

    Very well equipped, home from home

  • Julie

    The only thing we found wrong with it was that the sofa bed is really uncomfortable to sit on. I would not like to think that 4 people could stay there It's ideal for 2 but that's it apart from that it was perfect. The village is lovely and surrounding area too. Facilities within Buckie are super everything you need is in buckie otherwise Elgin is only half hour or so away which is also a lovely place. The neighbours are very nice and friendly. We really enjoyed our stay and will hopefully be back in the area again

  • Sue

    We enjoyed lots of beautiful coastal walks as well as some yummy lunches in Cullen and Portsoy. We will definitely be back to this beautiful part of Scotland and would happily recommend this cottage.
