About this property

Nestled in the heart of the coastal town of Portsoy in Aberdeenshire is 20 South High Street. This wonderful holiday home benefits from a fabulous location close to the town’s local amenities and the beautiful coast as well as a welcoming interior completed by two well-appointed bedrooms; the perfect setting for families or friends looking to explore the wonders of the Scottish coast. Cross the threshold into your new home-from-home and locate the living/dining room where you can unwind in front of the gentle warmth of the woodburning stove while the designated chef of the group cooks up a storm in the fully-equipped kitchen. Gather the family around the dining table to tuck into their culinary creation and be sure to raise a toast to the cherished memories you have created so far; on sunny days why not step outside to the terraced garden and indulge in an alfresco affair as the sun sets over Portsoy. When stars appear overhead head back inside to wash off the day’s adventures in the ground-floor bathroom before sloping off to sleep in one of two bedrooms; choose between a king-size and twin, whilst the snug can also accommodate two further guests. During the day, venture into the heart of Portsoy where you can stock up on all of your self-catering essentials or enjoy a well-earned break from the kitchen at Station Hotel or head to the coast to enjoy evening drinks at The Shore Inn. Head to the harbour to savour leisurely strolls in the refreshing sea air before discovering The Salmon Bothy Museum; those looking for something more adventurous can head to Sandend where you can take to the open water on paddle boards or surfboards, a unique way to admire views across the sea. Follow the coast along to Banff where you can immerse yourself in the area’s history by joining the Banff and Macduff Heritage Trail, tour the breath-taking Georgian Duff House or cross the river to spend the day admiring aquatic life at the Macduff Marine Aquarium. All this and more awaits at 20 South High Street. EPC Rating: Band E. Licence number: AS00068F

Portsoy, a historic port located on the pretty Moray Firth coast between the towns of Cullen and Banff, is just one of many atmospheric fishing ports dotted along this impressive stretch of north east Scotland's coastline. Portsoy, with its proximity to the famous Malt Whisky Trail and its two harbours (an old and a new one), hotels, pubs, and shops, makes for a wonderful vacation spot. Because of its charming atmosphere, Portsoy has been chosen as a location for filming several period series and films, such as Peaky Blinders and Whiskey Galore! High-caliber golf courses abound, many of which boast breathtaking ocean views, and the area's coastal path is ideal for hikers who want to take in the area's natural splendour at their own pace while exploring the area's lovely beaches. Visit the Salmon Bothy to learn about Portsoy's fascinating past as a trading, fishing, and smuggling port. The Scottish Traditional Boat Festival, held annually in Portsoy in late June/early July, is not to be missed.

    For the two of us that stayed there, the rooms are large and the facilities great. Everything was clean and the kitchen has everything. We wanted for nothing. The rear garden was lovely too. Nice to sit outside with a morning coffee. Parking was right outside the front door, so very easy to unload and load our cases and bags. This property is a two minute walk to the harbour and the same to the high street, great location. We will definitely book again.

  • Brenda

    It lacked for nothing. It felt very welcoming and very comfortable. It has a lovely garden which we were able to use on a couple days as the weather was very kind to us. There was a folder which explained how everything worked eg washing machine, cooker + how to collect the key ect. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty supply of bathroom towels. Very well thought out all round.

    We would happily stay there again!
