“This is undoubtedly the most expensively and well equipped holiday cottage that I have ever stayed in, in the past 20-25 years.”
Where else would you find a pair of Tartan clad armchairs, and on each one, a 'toy daschaund' clad in exactly the same tartan. The television was enormous, and perfect, seemingly with all the Sky bells and whistles already paid for. Everything was top quality.

I slept extremely well, the kitchen was very well equipped, and the upstairs bathroom had underfloor heating.
The village of Portknockie was lovely, a Spar shop 2 doors away for early morning rolls and newspapers, and plenty of parking on the road. The Chippie, about 50 yards away, serves an enormous menu, very efficiently, and all of superb quality.
This was my first visit to this part of Scotland. The beaches were superb, I especially liked Cullen Beach, but be careful of the tide, although you can always escape up the bank to the footpath beside the golf club.
There is an enormous range of tourist attractions in this part of Scotland, loads of very interesting shops in all the towns and larger villages, and everyone is 'So Very Friendly'.
There are probably 20 or so Whiskey Distilleries within 2 miles, and I didn't find time to visit even one of them! { but I was also driving}.
Go again - you bet !!!
