About this property

Situated on the outskirts of Portsoy is this beautifully-appointed, semi-detached house, Bullpens. With a stylish interior containing high-end amenities, the property offers a contemporary base for a family of eight to explore the wild landscapes of Scotland. Find off-road parking on arrival and step inside your home from home; feel the warmth of underfloor heating on your feet as you kick off your boots and get settled in.

The kitchen area has pristine units, a breakfast bar, and fantastic facilities to whip up your favourite home-cooked meals, including a double electric oven, dishwasher, large fridge/freezer and a coffee machine. Grab a bottle from the wine cooler and set the table ready for a family dinner after the day's adventures.

Step outside to make the most of sunny days in your private garden with a lawn, picnic bench for alfresco breakfasts, and storage to keep your bikes and outdoor equipment. Unwind in the evenings with a rinse in the walk-in shower on the ground floor or head upstairs for a relaxing bubble bath. Rest your head in one of four thoughtfully presented bedrooms with homely décor; the ground floor hosts two double bedrooms, whilst the first floor has a king-size with a Smart TV and a twin bedroom. Take a scenic drive into Portsoy for classic fish and chips along the harbour, walking along the coast to the Dolphin Statue, and The Salmon Bothy Museum; Boyne Castle is also nearby to visit the ruins of a 16th-century courtyard castle! The famed Malt Whisky Trail is a unique way to discover local history, heritage, and delicacies. Grab your towels and head to Sandend, a small fishing village with a spectacular beach to while away the hours, with plenty of watersports opportunities such as paddle boarding and surfing. Enjoy a round of golf at Cullen Links Golf Club followed by lunch in a quaint café and watch the sun set from Cullen's picturesque harbour. There's also plenty to do at Banff and Macduff with Macduff Marine Aquarium, traditional pubs, and Royal Tarlair Golf Club for spectacular sea views.

  • Bill

    The Bullpens for us is just perfect. Even with the Grandchildren this year. But when they left it returned to perfect peace and quiet, great walks up in the hills or around the shore, the beach at Sandend nice and quiet. The house was as it was in July 22, well maintained,the washing machine hood and cooking hob foxed us, top of the range technology where we are used to old school. Just as well we had the kids.A really lovely weekend.

    Beautiful flowers and generous welcome pack were waiting for us on our arrival, a special touch. The property is located close enough to the sea front to walk both east and west of Sandend. Sandend itself is a picture perfect fishing village with an excellent beach. The beaches along this coastline were all looked after by the communities and very well kept, and so are the public conveniences. We came back to Bullpens after superb walks each day and warmed up with a roaring log fire. Our only slight discomfort was the sofa. Found it quite low and during the evening we sort of slid off it and have to reposition the cushions. We will definitely recommend this property.

  • Margaret

    Very comfortable. Situated close to various places. Dave and Yvonne very welcoming and happy to help, should we have required assistance. Will probably revisit Bullpens. A thoroughly enjoyable visit.
