Sea Yonder is in a simply breathtaking position. It’s quaint external appearance belies the dramatic interior. Step inside the front door with its original stained glass panel into the light and airy living room with its patio doors opening onto the uninterrupted vista of the sea beyond the sitting out area and decking with hot tub. What a room to sit and soak up the stunning, ever changing sea level view, and watching the wildlife drift past, from bottlenose dolphins and grey seals to the myriad of birdlife. Enjoy a convivial drink or relax in the private hot tub under the stars. The conservatory also has a double bed, and again, this is a marvellous room to watch the sun rise over the sea in the early summer mornings. The well fitted kitchen/dining room has an Aga and lots of character, while the other bedroom on the ground floor has wonderful views over the seascape. A loft ladder takes you up to a low ceilinged bedroom, accessed from the hallway.

The cottage is just a short walk from the town’s amenities including shops, restaurants, swimming pool and fitness centre; while further along the coast, pretty fishing villages are set against dramatic rocky outcrops or stunning golden sands. Other activities locally include fishing, sailing and diving. Whisky and castle trails are on the doorstep and a boat trip to see the dolphins and seals is a must. Wonderful clifftop walks studded with caves from Findochty to Portknockie and Cullen are almost on the doorstep and there are some very good golf courses within a very short drive of the town, including Buckpool on the west and Strathlene to the east. View the stunning Bow Fiddle Rock near the village of Portknockie or stroll along some of the amazing beaches which make up this glorious coastline. Plenty of other wildlife can be observed at the mouth of Spey Bay, just a few miles west, including otters and ospreys and a stretch of the Speyside Way (a long distance footpath) runs from here to Buckie, providing good walking opportunities either way. Beach 200 yards. Shop, pub and restaurant ½ mile.

    A lovely cottage, full of character and in the most amazing location. Lots of local amenities nearby and brilliant walks practically on the doorstep. We have been to many different cottages in many different locations over the last 30 years but this location is one that truly takes some beating. This is our second visit and we hope not our last!

    It's a cottage with a lot of love in it. The owners are always happy to give advise about the area and the cottage. Perfect view over the sea, with seals around the corner and dolphins passing by. We liked the ambience of the rooms and the large terrace and kitchen. Pub, restaurants and shops within walking distance. Definitely comming back!
