Amazing! We loved every minute. Beautiful scenery, lots of dolphins. Cottage was clean, well-equipped, quaint with character. Would love to go back sometime soon.

What a lovely cottage in a fabulous location.A five minute drive from Chanonry Point where we watched the dolphins every day before we explored the rest of the area.

Braefoot cottage is in the perfect location: in the beautiful Fortrose, with direct sea views and access to a small but perfectly formed beach. It's very quiet, and the house itself has everything to make it cosy. The kitchen was well kitted out and there was plenty of space for the 4 of us. Great bath! We loved our stay and will come back.
