About this property
With a stunning sun room providing panoramic sea views this well-presented fisherman's cottage makes a great holiday home in the village of Portknockie. Seascape is a spacious, smart detached stone cottage with close proximity to the sea and is ideal for a family or group of friends wanting to spend time together and explore the north east coastline of Scotland which has so much to recommend it. The generously proportioned ground floor of the cottage comprises a large open plan living area with kitchen, dining area and sitting area with a woodburning stove, where guests will gather at the end of a busy day to chat while the meals are being prepared.
A step up from this room is the stunning sun room which offers uninterrupted views out to sea and is a quiet place for relaxation and reflection, perfect for enjoying a glass of wine while watching a summer sunset. If you are lucky, you might even see a pod of dolphins passing. There is also a smart sitting room with open fire and a shower room completes the ground floor accommodation. The upper floor has a double bedroom and a twin bedroom both benefiting from sea views along with a family bathroom. For adults and children this coastline is fabulous with rocky cliffs, golden sandy beaches and pretty villages and the nearby village of Cullen with enhanced facilities can actually be accessed via a coastal walk of about a mile.
A holiday in this area means that so much is accessible and both the cities of Aberdeen and Inverness can be visited making great days out. This tasteful and welcoming cottage ticks all the boxes and ensures a fabulous holiday on a wonderful coastline. EPC Rating: Band E
The coastal village of Portknockie is situated on a cliff-top overlooking a natural harbour on the Moray Firth coast. Explore the cliff-tops, beaches and coves, or look out for dolphins, seals and sea birds. Nearby is the delightful town of Cullen and within driving distance is Elgin with its cathedral.

One of the best places we have ever stayed and we travel A LOT. So comfortable and clean with everything and more you could hope for. No real outdoor space but not necessary at all in winter!

Cottage looked out over the sea. It was clean, comfortable and supplied with everything we needed to have a wonderful holiday. Village was so quiet and peaceful with a fabulous variety of walks available from the property. Also lots to do in the area. Good bus service and village has a shop, hotel/pub and takeaways just a short walk away. Locals were also friendly and welcoming . Have already booked to go back to Portknockie next year.
