Enjoy a scenic and relaxing break in this semi-detached fisherman’s cottage in the lovely village of Kingston-on-Spey on the Moray coast. In a wonderful position just yards from the stunning Moray Firth coastline, this delightfully cosy and very comfortable cottage is an ideal choice at any time of the year. It makes an ideal retreat to return to after sampling the many attractions the area has to offer. An unspoilt wildlife paradise, this part of the Moray coast is home to many forms of wildlife. There are a huge variety of bird and beachlife here, from waders and ospreys to dolphins and seals which are all regularly sighted from the shoreline. There is a good golf course just a few hundred yards away with another at Spey Bay, 4 miles, and there is a coffee shop in the adjoining village of Garmouth. This relatively little known area of Scotland is an absolute delight with stunning expanses of shingly beach dunes forming a barrier to the water inlets of the River Spey, renowned for good fishing and beautiful walks. There are bracing and invigorating walks along the Speyside Way and beaches literally from the doorstep where the plaintive cry of the gulls make an evocative backdrop to the sound of the waves on the shore. Inland the Whisky Trail is a must with many well known distilleries offering tours and tasting. The scenery inland is equally as stunning with easy access to the Cairngorm National Park from the cottage. Closer is Elgin with its cathedral and cashmere outlet or take a trip to Gordon Castle Estate which is set in ancient woodland on the banks of the River Spey. Beach 50 yards. Shop 4 miles, coffee shop 1 mile.

Just back from my third visit to Firth View and again it was a wonderful time spent in my favourite place of Moray. Firth View is in the tranquil place of Kingston. Perfect for so many walks about the area, then back to the warm comfortable haven and space of the cottage. The back garden is safe for children and your beloved dog. It’s the ideal location for exploring Morayshire and what it has to give. The fact that you’re staying close to the nature reserve and the pebbly shore is just perfect in itself. Can’t rate this cottage enough. Though having a car is a must.

We had a wonderful stay at Firth View and were very fortunate with the weather which was an added bonus.If you are looking for a warm, comfortable home from home this is for you.We had everything we needed, beds were comfortable and the house was spotless, communication with Eva was faultless, highly recommended.The location is great for wildlife spotting and we were treated to a spectacular display of the Northern lights.
