“We really enjoyed our stay at Auchnahaird Cottage.”

The kitchen, living room and bedrooms were all comfortable and spacious. The fridge in the kitchen was a little bit small considering the cottage sleeps 6 people and we had to squash our food in once we had bought our food for the week. The availability of high chair and travel cot meant we had less to bring with us which was great. Another nice touch was a bottle of wine and snack waiting for us on our arrival.

The kitchen, living room and bedrooms were all comfortable and spacious. The fridge in the kitchen was a little bit small considering the cottage sleeps 6 people and we had to squash our food in once we had bought our food for the week. The availability of high chair and travel cot meant we had less to bring with us which was great. Another nice touch was a bottle of wine and snack waiting for us on our arrival. The only thing letting down the cottage was the bathroom. It was very dated. The shower was very small with a shower curtain and the water pressure was terrible. We tended to use the bath instead. Overall we had an enjoyable stay in a beautiful location close the sea with stunning views.

“A little more information about recycling, bin collection days, how TV works would be useful.”

The views from this property are stunning. Whilst we did not see dolphins the position of the cottage was great to see them if they had happened along.

“We are six lady golfers who go to Banff every year to play Duffhouse Royal ladies five day tournament and this cottage was an excellent base for us!”

The only drawback was that there is only one bathroom but it was really just a minor irritation! Banff/Whitehills is a lovely part of the country with excellent walks and beaches as well as a few really good gol courses. Looking forward to going again next year!

“The property was very nicely presented.”

However it quickly became clear that only having 1 bathroom/toilet was a big problem.Also the shower was very small with a CURTAIN....

“Fantastic cottage in superb village location.”

Easy access to all areas in the moray coast and inland too. There are walks around the area which can be suited to any dog (ours loved going on long walk to Banff Links about 35/45 mins away) Whole cottage was bright and clean and had lovely view over the cottages to the sea. Can't praise the place or the owner enough.

“We had a very relaxing New Year break in Whitehills at Auchnahaird, the owners could not of been more helpful and everything in the house was as described.”

The house itself was over three floors and this gives a scene of space, we only wish the weather had been a bit warmer so we could have sat out the by the front door. We were able to go for lots of walks with our dog and found all the amenities in the village close by and enjoyed some fabulous meals out. We would not hesitate to recommended this property and location.

“Spacious, open views and well catered for.”

All of us (dog included) had a great time. Not much space outside for a dog but we sussed the place out. Upper floor was where other two bedrooms located but stairs might not suit everyone. We must return. Felt like this was the house we wanted to return to not just on holiday but forever more. Owner a great help.

The property

This spacious fisherman’s cottage is situated in a small cul-de-sac in the centre of the village of Whitehills, Aberdeenshire.

This lovely cottage is spread over three levels and has captivating sea views from every room.

The property would be ideal for a family group or group of friends who will love the coastal location and pretty harbour with is colourful boats and friendly ambience.

Located in a pretty village the cottage has a back door providing access to steps down to a small lane which leads directly to the shingle beach.

At ground floor level there is a bright comfortable sitting room with large TV, a great space for relaxation and just across the hallway is the kitchen/dining room which is well-equipped and has everything required to prepare tasty home-cooked meals.

The bathroom is also on ground floor level and from the hallway stairs lead down to the utility room and master bedroom on the lower ground floor.

The first floor has a twin and a double bedroom.

After a busy day, the patio is an ideal place to relax and take in wonderful views.

For children there is a play park in the village, and for adults in search of wildlife then the Moray Firth Coast is rich in seals, dolphins, whales and a wide variety of seabirds.

Exploring this stretch of coastline is a must, as there are many little villages all with their own history and places of interest or perhaps you would prefer to drive inland and pick up the famous Malt Whisky Trail and partake in a drop of tasting.

For scenery, this is a dramatic stretch of coastline with rugged rocks, sandy beaches and stunning views.

There is something for everyone in this unspoilt part of Scotland and this welcoming cottage will ensure everyone has a great holiday.

About the location

WHITEHILLS

Banff 3 miles; Portsoy 5 miles.

Whitehills is just one of the many atmospheric fishing villages dotted along the stunning north east coastline of Scotland. The village boasts a friendly local pub serving good food and a highly-regarded restaurant at the marina, as well as a grocer’s and a fish shop. The modern marina in the village is a busy destination for boats, especially yachts and pleasure crafts. Conveniently placed just three miles from Banff and five miles from Portsoy, this location has much to offer visitors who will enjoy following the rugged coastline that borders the shores of the Moray Firth, and away from the coast, the area is a mixture of rich farmlands and small hamlets surrounded by luscious green fields - a wonderful base for exploring this part of Scotland.
