Description
Residing on the Scottish coast in the burgh town of Buckie, is this former fisherman’s home, Learig.
Wonderfully presented with nautical themes and homely interior, this delightful pet-friendly dwelling welcomes a family of six or groups of friends who are looking to discover the delights of this beautiful seaside town.
After taking in the breath-taking sea views that envelope the property, venture into your new home-from-home, uncovering an immaculate sitting room where you can kick your shoes off and sink into the plush harris tweed sofas, basking in the warmth of a woodburning stove; for light entertainment, switch on the Smart TV and relish a film day with your loved ones.
Move further into the property to find a light and airy kitchen/diner with spectacular views of the Moray Firth, equipped with all the necessary appliances and a dining table for six guests, this is the idyllic spot for the designated chef to prepare tasty meals which can be enjoyed over a bottle of fizz; for your convenience, there is also a utility with a washing machine and tumble dryer so you can keep your holiday wardrobe refreshed and enjoy beach days care-free.
After a sumptuous meal, head to one of three fantastic bedrooms, choose from either a ground-floor double hosting an en-suite bathroom, another double with en-suite shower room or a twin, with the added service of a family bathroom and cloakroom.
When you’re ready to explore, Buckie is a small fishing town boasting great wildlife and scenery which stretches over to Bow Fiddle Rock where you can bask in splendid vistas across the sealine, headlands and beyond; for the daredevils amongst your group, why not try your hand at a variety of watersports that are available here and keep an eye out for dolphins, ospreys and otters which can all be seen from the mouth of Spey Bay.
For golfers there are 6 golf courses within a 10-mile radius and if you enjoy a malt whisky you are only 20 miles from some of the most famous Speyside Distilleries many of whom have informative tours and visitor centres.
Venture to Fochabers for a relaxing day at Gordon Castle Estate where you can amble around one of the oldest and largest walled kitchen gardens in Britain, enjoy a bite to eat at the on-site café while younger members of your party play, or spend the afternoon at Scottish Wildlife Trust Spey Bay Wildlife Reserve, an area of exceptional interest with a vast array of landscape and wildlife.
Further on is Elgin, where Duffus Castle, Spynie Palace and Elgin Cathedral and Museum all await.
This tranquil coastal location offers much to see, ensuring a memorable retreat at Learig.

What guests are saying
Lovely cottage beautiful view of the moray coast very well equipped kitchen the owners have thought of everything for your stay.
(including a welcome basket on kitchen table with biscuits and prosecco Lovely touch) Lovely lounge two bedrooms upstairs on suite 1 bedroom downstairs.also a loo downstairs too. The garden isn't enclosed if bringing a pet. The only thing I would change is the steps outside kitchen door the first one is steep and the next 2 are round the corner in the dark as light didn't work.we had a lovely weekend just a short walk to shops hotel and pub.plenty of takeaway outlets which most delivery for a small fee.
Cracking house.
Only reason we didn't give it five stars is the size of the showers for larger gents. Tight squeeze
Learig Cottage is a perfect location.
Spot on for exploring the Banffshire region. Buckie has lots of independent shops as well as superstores, Pubs, a great Heritage Fishing centre [a must visit] and 4 EV points only a 3 minute walk away. Great views views of the Moray Firth directly from the dining room or when preparing meals. Also lots of beaches and great wildlife opportunities [bow fiddle rock; Dolphin Centre + many others]. We visited Cawdor castle, Nairn, Findhorn, Banff, Inverurie, Lossiemouth, Slains Castle plus several Neolithic sites- an educational/ relaxing and most enjoyable holiday. The cottage is clean and so very full of the things which you left at home- roast bean coffee machine, washer/ dryer/ upright fridge freezer/ sky & satellite TV/ games/ 2 ensuite rooms/ separate bathroom & downstairs toilet/ dishwasher/ magnificent kitchen equipment and so much more. Filled with quality furnishings, linen, crockery, pans etc. Sadly did not need the trouser press or the superb Neff Cookers. Very warm radiators and so much storage space, plus a wood burner. Lovely paved patio overlooking the sea for the sunny days! [with a glass of wine] The ‘welcome package’ of bubbly, biscuits, bread etc was an unexpected bonus.
