About this property
This smart, detached stone cottage is ideally situated close to a pretty harbour and sandy beach, in the village of Findochty on the fabulous north east coast of Scotland. This spacious fisherman's cottage is perfect for a family group, or group of friends, who will appreciate the space within the property, which benefits from two comfortable sitting rooms, one of which has a welcoming electric fire. The kitchen is well equipped, making it easy to prepare tasty home-cooked meals that can be enjoyed in the formal dining room next door. On the upper floor, the generously proportioned bedrooms ensure a comfortable nights sleep for all and at the rear of the cottage is a large and fully enclosed patio area which is a real sun trap and a perfect place to enjoy a barbecue or pre-dinner glass of wine.
A short stroll from the cottage takes you down to the pretty harbour, with its colourful array of yachts and a small sandy beach that will be much appreciated by children. Close by you can enjoy a tasty bite to eat at the Admirals Inn, whilst gazing out to sea and admiring a wonderful sunset. The north east coastline has plenty of pretty fishing villages to explore and is home to bottlenose dolphins, which can easily be spotted along with a multitude of other wildlife.

Could do with a set of drawers in double bedroom to store clothes but other than that has everything you could possibly need. Great location with everything on your doorstep. Will definitely be returning.

Lisa the contact for Holly Hoose was very friendly and helpful if we had to contact her. The house is always clean and tidy. Despite its large size itâs very cosy too. Fabulous little village and easy to go anywhere from there. We love it and will return again soon
