The rooms are decorated in a calming style with comfortable bedrooms and an attractive open plan living space which looks over the enclosed courtyard to the front of the cottage. The twin villages of Inverallochy and Cairnbulg together form a wonderfully atmospheric location with narrow streets and alleys, which remind you of times past when the area was home to fishermen and every cottage had its own boat pulled up outside. Today the locals still make use of the washing lines on the shore to dry their laundry in the sea breeze.
This stretch of coastline with wide, sandy beaches evokes a sense of space and tranquillity. The magnificent Northern Lights are often seen in winter here as there is little light pollution, and the long days of summer enable visitors to fully enjoy their surroundings. Take a walk along Fraserburgh’s beach and harbour or a visit to Kinnaird Castle and Museum of Scottish Lighthouses, while further along the coast, nature lovers can get up early to watch pink-footed geese take off with the rising winter sun. Golfers can enjoy a round on one of the many courses within close proximity, with Inverallochy itself boasting a course where every hole looks out onto the North Sea. Boat trips can be arranged from Fraserburgh Harbour to get up close to the extensive marine life in these waters, including dolphins, minke whales, porpoises and gannets. In the village there is a selection of shops while further amenities can be found in Fraserburgh, 4 miles. Beach 100 yards. Shop 400 yards, pub and restaurant 1 mile.

A lovely cottage with everything you need inside. Welcome pack, fully stocked kitchen with all intensils and cleaning items. A washer if needed and availble to use. Comfy beds. Everything was clean and in it's place. Wifi included. The host kept us up to date prior to arrival and checked in to see if everything was ok. If i could pick up this cottage and take it with me on every holiday i would. No complaints at all.

The cottage is in a great location to explore the surrounding area. While there we explored Aberdeenshire as far South as Stonehaven for the 50th anniversary Highland Games, as far inland as Balmoral Castle in Deeside and as far west as the Dolphin centre Speyside in Moray. We sat and watched dolphins and seals at Aberdeen Harbour, explored the beautiful towns/villages of Banff, Gardenstown, Pennan, Findochy, walked to the ruins of Slains Castle and the Prop of Ythsie, enjoyed plenty of ice creams from Pete’s ice cream shop in the village of Cairnbulg and visited so many lovely cliffs and bays. Supermarkets Tesco and Lidl are an 8 minute drive away in Fraserburgh. The cottage is well kitted out, the beds extremely comfortable and the location perfect. It also has a separate freezer and washing machine - very practical. Aroma pies and Harbucks are worth looking into and visiting when in the area. Strichan (the home of Aroma Pies) also has an excellent family butchers shop. J.G Ross have locations in lots of areas for tasty baked goods. A fantastic 2 week break for us.
