Beautiful views over the harbour from the property and the spectacular rough seas made for an enjoyable stay even if the weather was a bit inclement.

Had a wonderful 4 week stay at the property. Views over the harbour are lovely and saw the dolphins passing along the coast several times. We were pleasantly surprised how large the property was and that there was an ensuite in one of the upstairs bedrooms as well as a downstairs bathroom. Kitchen was also well equipped.Portknockie is an excellent location for a large variety of local walks ( hills, coast, woods). It is also well placed when we drove further afield on our days out (Cairngorms, Inverness, Aberdeen, Balmoral...all around 90mins or less)
