    It was warm and welcoming. The welcome pack was amazing and better than we have ever had. The beds were very comfortable being hypnos beds.

Plenty of kindling and logs supplied for the woodburner.

It might be good if the information leaflets about the local area and amenities could be refreshed. Some of these were quite old and no doubt much has changed since pre-pandemic days. But this is a very small point and in any case guests have the use of excellent wifi at the cottage so can do their own research.

    In 30 years of staying in self catering cottages this has to be one of the most comfortable, well equipped and lovely cottages my wife and I have had the pleasure to stay in. Certainly the best of any of the ‘dog friendly’ cottages with dog treats, dog food bowls, new dog toys and dog towels supplied. We were aptly looked after by the kind owners with wine, chocolates, bread, milk, biscuits etc. A minor issue with an appliance was quickly rectified by the friendly owners. The cottages situation is only a couple of minutes walk from the fantastic beach which was immaculate with no litter or detritus. Brilliant walks for the dogs. Loads to see and do nearby. Would absolutely recommend this cottage; just fantastic!

  • "We both thought that the cottage was fantastic."

    It was tastefully decorated, warm and comfortable and situated in a very peaceful location just about five minutes walk from the shoreline. There are fantastic coastal walks which I undertook every day. The welcome pack which was provided by the owners and included wine and chocolates was very thoughtful. The WiFi was also very good and I know this is important for a lot of people. I would definitely go back.

  • "Fantastic cottage in a beautiful part of scotland."

    Only 2 mins walk to the beach and situated perfectly for exploring the Moray coast. The cottage itself had everything we needed and more and the welcome pack was greatly appreciated. We will definitely be back but get the feeling we may need to book early as this cottage will be very popular. Thank you.

  • "This cottage was beautiful."

    It had been carefully renovated and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. The beds were super comfy.Everything felt new and fresh despite the cottage being old. The location was great. Only five minutes walk from an extensive beach which was a joy to walk each morning with the dog. The owners were very welcoming and had left a lovely welcome pack and goodies for the dog too. The Moray coast is a fantastic area to explore.I recommend this cottage highly.

  • "Great little beach cottage."

    We were a party of 2 adults and two pre-teens and the property was perfect. The rooms are large enough and it had all the equipment we required for the week and was only a few minutes walk to the beach. Only negative comment is the shower in the bath is quite small so it was bathes for the children. It may not be suitable if the children are very young as the twin bedroom is downstairs with the other bedroom is upstairs but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage for slightly older children if a beach holiday is what you want, although, there are lots of other local attractions to keep everyone happy. Great welcome pack which was much appreciated. And we were surprised by the frequency of the buses for such a small village.

The property

Banff 1 miles.

This absolutely charming mid terrace stone cottage offers deceptively spacious and pretty accommodation.

Ideal for a couple, family group or group of friends this cottage is just minutes from a lovely sandy beach and the clear crystal waters of the Moray Firth.

A very pretty pathway and front garden lead up to the house and there is a bedroom at ground floor level as well as one on the first floor.

The sitting room has a big comfy corner sofa and welcoming woodburing stove, ideal for those colder evenings in.

The very well-equipped kitchen/dining room has everything required for visitors to make a lovely meal to be enjoyed together around the table.

At the rear is a fully enclosed garden and a gate leading to the rear parking area.

Inverboyndie is a small village that is situated neatly between the larger village of Whitehills and the small vibrant town of Banff, both within easy reach and both providing excellent local services.

The village of Whitehills can be access via a coastal path and after a pleasant walk visitors should pop into the local pub and restaurant for a nice meal before the walk home.

You could also take your car of course!

Banff is a bustling town with an excellent selection of shops and restaurants along with the Marine Aquarium which is well worth a visit!

The north east coastline is a great area to explore with the many fishing villages dotted up its dramatic coastline each with their own history and atmosphere.

From this cottage there is an excellent bus route and if guests want to leave the car they can simply hop on the bus and enjoy the scenery!

This pretty cottage ticks all the boxes and ensure a relaxing and comfortable holiday for all!
