  Just back after 3 nights at the cottage and what can I say but WOW!

  Sandend was exactly what the doctor ordered and the batteries are fully recharged. The views are literally jaw dropping, I think I spent more time sitting outside the cottage looking at them than sitting in the cottage. The cottage was as described and provided everything we needed, in fact the photos on the website and description probably do not do it justice as it was spotless and there are no bannisters on the stairs. We shall be booking again in the near future, rate it that highly but as always, some constructive feedback... Be aware the bins are round the side of the house, don't just place your black bins out on a Monday, use the proper bins. The sofa is most definitely not very comfortable. The smart TV can be a bit laggy, just switching it off and on again with the remote sorts it out. We didn't get any logs for the burner, just kindling but can get them at the other village garges.

  Poor level of cleaning, for example dried food on cutlery and dried on rings of milk in fridge, note saying shower leaks and to ensure bathmat is put down to catch the water that escapes when showering.

  The bathmat was saturated for the duration of our stay as the volume of water escaping is excessive. The listing states there is central heating, this central heating, is in the main, plug in portable oil heaters, these were in my opinion inadequate when cold weather. There is only one mirror in the whole cottage, being a bathroom mirror, for such a highly rated cottage there should be at least one mirror upstairs plus there was no where to hang any clothing up in the main bedroom. Main lounge furniture was a sofa bed unit which wasn’t very comfortable for 4 staying. Only 3 glasses unless you use wine glasses. In its favour the cottage is in a perfect location with stunning views from most windows. The owners should make more of this in their listing.

  When I opened a kitchen cupboard door to get a pan the door fell off the top hinge.

  Perhaps no-one reported this before. It didn’t cause me a problem once I realised what was wrong. Then I picked up a soup ladle from the drawer and it fell apart. There was a china teacup in a cupboard which had been put away heavily stained. I tend to agree with other feedback that the lounge area seating is not particularly comfortable except for short periods. The location of the property tends to outweigh any negatives about the furnishings and equipment. For a cottage it was very light and being able to look out to sea was a joy. Local people I met in the other properties were very friendly. A memorable stay for the wonderful location.

  Very disappointed with many aspects.

  Front door is warped allowing cold air to penetrate sitting area.Heating provided is inadequate and no not water resulting in cold showers.Faulty tap on kitchen sink. Oven door is faulty and needs attention. Broken bed in twin room which was notified in October.Windows are also very drafty adding to overall chill.We had to pin a blanket to the door to stop chill. Settee under stretch cover is very badly stained. All these negatives detract from what should have been a nice stay.Also no cleaning materials to allow for day to day cleaning or before departure. Broken bed on twin room which was notified in October

  The house is well-equipped and comfortable throughout.

  Enclosed back garden is a good feature for children or pets. Direct access to shore from garden also a nice feature. Quiet location with easy walk to Dolphin Centre which has a cafe usually open until 4 pm and Spey Bay wildlife conservation area with trail along the river and through farmland. Wi-fi good in and around the lounge and ground floor bedroom - a little variable in rest of house. Useful welcome "pack". Would consider another stay here if occasion arises in future.
