The cottage was the best equipped we have ever stayed in. It was so comfortable and welcoming in a lovely village. We hope to return again.

Three Creeks is a lovely cosy cottage, we had a fantastic stay. We found the cottage clean and tidy, and very comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped. The beds are soft and comfortable. Everything is top quality - it feels like you’re staying in someone’s home. Location is great, and the view down to the sea front from the kitchen table is a real bonus. We walked the coastline in both directions (to Findochty and Buckie / and to Cullen and Sunnyside Bay the other way), and enjoyed time in the village itself. We have visited the area many times and have stayed at lots of cottages nearby - and we found Three Creeks to be one of the best. We will definitely book to stay again. Thanks so much to Mike and Angie, we had such a gorgeous break at your cosy cottage.

Although the kitchen/dining area is not huge the cottage worked very well for us. All equipment and fittings were excellent and lovely hot shower. Portknockie is a lovely wee coastal village with a shop, fish and chips plus hotel. There are loads of coastal walks in the area, beautiful scenery. Could have done with more sun, but what should i expect, its Scotland.
