About this property
78 Findhorn is a beautifully presented coastal cottage set right in the heart of Findhorn, Moray, offering a characterful and inviting base for families or friends keen to experience this special stretch of the Scottish coast. Thoughtfully arranged over two floors, the cottage blends traditional charm with modern touches, creating a space that feels both practical and full of personality. On the ground floor, two generously sized king-size bedrooms provide peaceful places to settle in after busy days out, one benefiting from its own en-suite shower room, while a separate shower room serves the rest of the floor. The open-plan living area sits at the centre of the home, bringing everyone together in a sociable setting.
Here, the well-equipped kitchen makes preparing anything from leisurely breakfasts to evening meals a pleasure, while the dining area and sitting space invite long conversations, shared stories, and quiet moments spent planning the next day’s adventures. Upstairs, a welcoming double bedroom adds flexibility to the sleeping arrangements, making the cottage ideal for mixed groups. Outside, a private patio offers a lovely spot to start the day with a coffee or enjoy meals outdoors when the weather allows, soaking up the fresh coastal air. Findhorn itself is a joy to explore, with its wide sandy beach, colourful beach huts, friendly pubs, and independent shops all close at hand.
Stroll along the bay, watch the boats come and go, or try your hand at water sports on the Moray Firth. The village is also home to the Findhorn Foundation and Heritage Centre, offering fascinating insight into the area’s unique history and community spirit. Venture a little further to Forres to discover Brodie Castle and its gardens, spend time in Grant Park, or explore the Falconer Museum. Elgin adds even more to the experience, with its striking cathedral ruins, the Moray Motor Museum, and pleasant green spaces for wandering. Whether you’re drawn by coastal walks, rich history, or the simple pleasure of seaside living, 78 Findhorn offers a memorable stay in one of Moray’s most distinctive villages.
Findhorn was at one time a very busy fishing port, and still preserves its strong connections with the sea today, with much of its village life centred around the bay, and fantastic sailing and watersports opportunities available with the Royal Findhorn Yacht Club resting on the waterfront. Its scenic location and gentle climate, influence by the Gulf Stream, make it a desirable destination. It is perhaps best known for being the home to the world-famous Findhorn Foundation, with its Ecovillage and international centre for holistic education. Findhorn boast two pubs, two cafes, an organic bakery and a local store, and is well placed for visiting the many pretty ports and villages nestled along the Moray Firth coastline. The Malt Whisky Trail can be joined close by and the Cairngorm National Park can be found within an hour’s drive. The hub of the Highlands, the city of Inverness, is just 25 miles to the west, and is well worth a day trip, where you will discover its historic buildings and atmospheric NT Culloden Battlefield.
