About this property

Seaspray Cottage is a delightful detached former harbourmaster’s cottage which is situated on the sea front in Whitehills, Banffshire. With fabulous coastal views and easy access to a range of the area's picturesque fishing villages, Seaspray Cottage has got everything you need to enjoy a wonderful break. Off-road parking directly outside the cottage provides easy access, making it ideal for you to arrive and get unpacked quickly, before soaking up those views and the sea breeze! Once inside you will walk into the charming kitchen/diner, a light airy space with wonderful views out over the Moray Firth. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you may need for your stay, and also boasts a large dining table which can seat the whole family. After dinner, continue to the living room that contains a TV/DVD, a cosy woodburning stove and comfortable sofas, where you can curl up with a good book or watch TV in front of the fire. Note that the kitchen and living room are split level, with 3 steps joining the two rooms. There is a comfortable double bedroom on the ground floor, which is convenient for the family bathroom situated just off the kitchen. Upstairs there is another double bedroom with far-reaching views over the sea (perfect for spotting passing dolphins), and a cosy single room. Both the upstairs bedrooms have quaint sloping ceilings, adding to their character. On sunny days, be sure to make the most of the enclosed patio, where you can watch the spectacular sunsets with a cold beverage in hand. Venture out to explore Whitehills, a wonderful fishing village with a busy marina. The village is served by a handful of amenities, including an amply stocked convenience store, a welcoming pub, a fish and chip shop, and a locally acclaimed restaurant. Embark on a walk or a short drive to Banff, where a sandy beach awaits, along with Duff House and its esteemed golf club, and access to the Banff and Macduff Heritage Trail. Banff also offers larger shops and general facilities. Why not visit Macduff, with its beautiful sights, including the Tarlair Swimming Pools and Salmon Howie Beach, as well as the fascinating Macduff Marine Aquarium? Portsoy, Cullen and Portknockie also aren't far and offer even more coastal activities for you to enjoy! Whisk your loved ones away for a seaside break to remember - choose Seaspray Cottage.

  • Gordon

    It has a few restaurants one with a small bar, a well stocked local shop and a good chippie. It is advisable to book in advance as they are all busy and close early. The cottage is in a central location and has fantastic sea views. However, the cottage needs some upgrading. The lounge is very dark and feels quite closed in rather than cosy. The cooker has seen better days and is a bit temperamental. In saying that we had a good week and enjoyed the views including seeing dolphins, seals and many different birds.

  • Eric

    Our backs were sore for 5 days after leaving the property and we never got a decent night's sleep. Additionally the pillows were finished as well. Otherwise the cottage was fine, great views and very well appointed

  • Frances

    .I could have spent every day sitting on the patio watching the tide changes, with a book and a glass of wine.
