Sea Yonder is a highly praised cottage for its stunning sea views, abundant wildlife sightings, and tranquil setting. Guests have enjoyed the well-equipped, cosy interiors, the hot tub with ocean vistas, and the attentive hosts. The property's recent upgrades and cleanliness are noted, alongside its proximity to lovely beaches and villages. The thoughtful touches, including welcome treats, have made stays special, although these are not guaranteed for every visit.
The cottage is described as spotless by a reviewer, indicating a high level of cleanliness. No negative comments about cleanliness suggest guests are generally satisfied.
The location is consistently lauded for its amazing sea views, wildlife sightings, and peacefulness. It's also close to charming villages and beaches, making it an ideal retreat.
Guests find the cottage cosy and comfortable, with a conservatory and upgraded furnishings. The repeated visits and extended use of outdoor spaces reflect a high comfort level.
The property is well-equipped with a new cooking range and a hot tub, which guests have particularly enjoyed. The mention of a piano and a large kitchen suggests good facilities, though no specific maintenance issues are mentioned.
While guests appreciate the welcome treats and the hosts' attentiveness, there is not enough information to score thoughtfulness as it relates to consistent provision of gifts or special touches for all guests.

On road parking. No smoking. Please note: There is a step from the patio to the decking. The property is directly on the seashore with a barrier between the decking and the seashore.. Sea Yonder is in a simply breathtaking position. It’s quaint external appearance belies the dramatic interior. Step inside the front door with its original stained glass panel into the light and airy living room with its patio doors opening onto the uninterrupted vista of the sea beyond the sitting out area and decking with hot tub. What a room to sit and soak up the stunning, ever changing sea level view, and watching the wildlife drift past, from bottlenose dolphins and grey seals to the myriad of birdlife. Enjoy a convivial drink or relax in the private hot tub under the stars. The conservatory also has a double bed, and again, this is a marvellous room to watch the sun rise over the sea in the early summer mornings. The well fitted kitchen/dining room has an Aga and lots of character, while the other bedroom on the ground floor has wonderful views over the seascape. A loft ladder takes you up to a low ceilinged bedroom, accessed from the hallway.
The cottage is just a short walk from the town’s amenities including shops, restaurants, swimming pool and fitness centre; while further along the coast, pretty fishing villages are set against dramatic rocky outcrops or stunning golden sands. Other activities locally include fishing, sailing and diving. Whisky and castle trails are on the doorstep and a boat trip to see the dolphins and seals is a must. Wonderful clifftop walks studded with caves from Findochty to Portknockie and Cullen are almost on the doorstep and there are some very good golf courses within a very short drive of the town, including Buckpool on the west and Strathlene to the east. View the stunning Bow Fiddle Rock near the village of Portknockie or stroll along some of the amazing beaches which make up this glorious coastline. Plenty of other wildlife can be observed at the mouth of Spey Bay, just a few miles west, including otters and ospreys and a stretch of the Speyside Way (a long distance footpath) runs from here to Buckie, providing good walking opportunities either way. Beach 200 yards. Shop, pub and restaurant ½ mile.

Sea Yonder is a lovely holiday cottage, right on the sea, the views are amazing. We saw stunning sunrises and sunsets; abundant wildlife including seals, dolphins and many sea birds. We were also lucky enough to see the aurora borealis. The cottage itself is well equipped and cosy with a conservatory that has wrap around views. Sitting in the hot tub whilst watching a spectacular sunset was particularly special. This was our sixth visit and we will return.
