I am a retired owner of a 4 star gold bed and breakfast so I’m always apprehensive when booking accommodation. On this occasion there was no need. This cottage is amazing. It was so clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. James the owner even left us a welcome pack at no extra charge. He has gone over and above for the care and attention of his clients. I will certainly be back. The cottage has private parking and a lovely garden to sit out in. It is central for many of the small villages and towns and the chippy and Chinese takeaways are fab.

Portknockie has a unigue character due to its preservation status and is located on an interesting part of the north east coastline Not much available in village but nearby villages and coastal towns provided all required Quite a drive to either Aberdeen or Inverness so better suited to holiday makers who are happy with coast environment Younger families may miss a smart tv
