Sandpiper Cottage

We had such a lovely week at Sandpiper Cottage and celebrated Christmas and our daughter’s birthday there.

Louise had decorated the cottage for Christmas which was so nice. The cottage was very homely and it had all the space we needed. It was also very clean and was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The location is amazing, in the cute little area of Seatown in Cullen. The cottage is so close to the beach (just a few minutes walk) and the village centre has some lovely little independent shops and cafes. Would definitely like to visit again.

Beautiful cottage, great location, fantastic amenities.

A beautifully presented house with everything you need to make your stay feel like a home from home

Lovely house in a perfect setting close to the beach and the town .

Best fish and chip shop ever and fabulous ice cream parlour. The house is very welcoming and comfortable with all you need. The beds are superb! A glorious little sun trap at the back makes for an excellent place to enjoy a sun downer! There are lots of local walks, great beach, surfing classes and with a car, lots of other little towns to visit along the coast.

Great house, plenty of room.

Well equipped. Good location. Hopefully back next year. Billy

The cottage was clean, well-appointed and in a great location.

Close to the beach and the centre of Cullen. The owner was friendly, helpful and responsive. We had a great break here and would return.

Stayed here 3 time now no problems beds very comfortable everything clean.

Loads of bathrooms one of the reasons we prefer this one. The only issue we have which is just us is the daylight at night/early morning in the bedrooms without blinds but this is a personal preference as we prefer rooms to be dark at night other than that quiet peaceful stay as always hence why we keep coming back

Great holiday home for the 6 of us ages ranging 87 years to 9 years.

Loads of light in the property and plenty toilets. Fantastic place walkable to the beach day and night and the town. We love Moray and all the beaches. Found a lovely museum in Fochabers well worth the visit. Ice cream shops in every town our favourites are Lossiemouth and Fochabers.

Lovely property, day one problems quickly resolved

Great cottage close to Cullen Harbour and beach.

Very nicely decorated light and airy.with really comfortable bedrooms. Handy suntrap yard to sit in and dry clothes.

This is our 2nd time staying at the Sandpiper cottage, as its a fantastic cottage in the 'Seatown' of Cullen.

As previous reviews have stated, the cottage is well equipped, clean and tastefully decorated to suit the cottages location. The beds are very comfy and plenty of towels are provided for your stay. Both times, I had to work from home and the broadband is very good for downloading documents and for 'Teams Call's. The cottage is ideal for dog owners as the seafront / harbour is a few yards away and all local amenities (i.e. COOP, takeaways, restaurants, gifts shops etc) are 5-7 mins walking distance from the cottage. Cullen has a beautiful clean beach, a great challenging short 18 hole golf course and a dog-friendly clubhouse, which has friendly bar staff (Kate and Sandra). Nice new deli called 'Yellow Deli' has has opened up in Cullen. Louise is an fabulous hostess (very friendly) and she provides sufficient information about the cottage (and the surrounding area) and gets in contact in advance of your arrival and is at hand during your stay. The cottage is also an ideal place to explore the other local fishing villages (Findochty and Portknockie) and towns (Buckie, Portsoy and Whitehills) and beaches (Sunnyside and Sandend). All great places to visit. Overall the Sandpiper cottage is ideal for a 'home from home' holiday, especially with your dog. Thanks again for a great stay Louise and hope to be back again this year.

Very much enjoyed a comfortable, cosy & relaxing break at Sandpiper Cottage and genuinely hope to return.

Well equipped, clean & spacious cottage with costal character. Thanks to Louise for a lovely stay,

We really enjoyed our stay at Sandpiper Cottage.

The cottage was tastefully decorated with plenty of space and good facilities. The bedrooms were large with good sized beds. Definitely recommended.

The cottage was lovely and comfortable, clean and very cosy.

We loved the ground floor layout which suited us and our older dog, with plenty of space and had all the facilities we needed.

Although the chocolates were welcome we felt a bit of history about the town places to eat and visit would have been helpful.

The downstairs loo is noisy especially at night. We had a nice time though and the beach and surf were amazing

Louise contacted us when we were on our way, so we felt very welcome and looked after.

We had a lovely, comfortable stay in a special cottage in a special place. Well done Louise for contributing to a much needed relaxed break. The cottage is very close to the beach and just a short walk from the harbour. Cullen is hilly, but we just took our time and even got to the top of Castle Hill on paths created by local volunteers.

Lovely cottage.

Beautiful place. Amazing community who welcomed us from the first night. Perfect place to explore an amazing coastline from.

We had a fantastic week at Sandpiper cottage.

The cottage was perfect in every way, it had everything you would need for a comfortable family stay. You can tell it has recently been recently renovated and the finish and styling really suited the location and surroundings perfectly. The owner got in touch before we arrived to ensure we had all the information we needed and to let us know they were available if required for any help, that was a really nice touch. The location of the cottage and area itself was fantastic, for us it was a last minute choice in an area we hadn't explored before, we will be back, I just hope Sandpiper cottage will be available the next time. We have been to lots of cottages over the years this was the best so far.

A terrific location and well appointed property.

Lovely finishing and very much a home away from home. Great communication from the property wonder too.

Another brilliant stay in this amasing cottage.

The owner is so nice and attentive, goes above and beyond. Well furnished, modern, clean property. Highly recommend staying here.

Very well appointed & attractive cottage.

Lovely cottage in a great location.

Lots of great walks from the house.

Cottage is well located, well maintained and nice and cosy during our visit where the weather was cooler.

The cottage had everything we needed for our stay. We travelled as a couple with our dog and loved exploring the area. Would visit again. The owner contacted us via email prior to visit and called on the day of arrival to check in with us. Great experience.

A lovely cosy cottage to return to after a day of exploring this beautiful region.

Comfortable, well equipped home from home.

Lovely cottage to stay in, the owner has clearly put thought and care into the property.

It's in a great location with plenty of parking outside. Adults, kids and dog all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and we were comfortable and warm throughout. It would have been helpful to have shelves in the bathrooms for toothbrushes, contact lenses, etc., otherwise we had pretty much everything we needed. We'd happily stay again.

We were contacted well ahead of scheduled arrival with instructions for key and use of cottage.

We were party of 5 in our 70’s. Every one of us was highly impressed by the modernisation and decor of the cottage. It was spotlessly clean, beds comfortable, no noise. Plenty kitchen utensils mugs. dishes, pots etc Dishwasher, machine microwave all brand new. Bedding freshly laundered. All the home tastefully decorated. The owner was in touch a few times over the few days and proved very helpful. Especially appreciated is the en suite in every room plus one further bathroom upstairs. Just a few steps from the waterfront and harbour . Short walk to local amenities and a few excellent hotels serving delicious food and a few takeaway restaurants. Excellent and challenging 18 hole golf course yards away with lovely clubhouse and regular entertainment. Dolphin and osprey watch within 20 mile. Thoroughly recommend the cottage plus the 2 bedroom Eider Cottage attached. Thanks to the owner for making our stay so thoroughly enjoyable. We will revisit Sandpiper.

The cottage was lovely - had everything we needed for a great week.

Would definitely return.

This cottage was one of the best we have stayed in we have stayed in many Sykes houses over the years This house was very well equipped and extremely clean and comfortable,the water was hot and plentiful the fridge was cold in fact everything worked well.

We can thoroughly recommend this property and the village of Cullen is beautiful a truly lovely holiday

We come every year to cullen staying in various cottages from various sites - never before have we had such a terrible experience.

The stay itself was lovely although it was odd the owner turning up on our doorstep one day unannounced and felt like we were being checked up on. It was on our return that things turned very sour. We were blamed for multiple reports of a damage that we were not responsible for. In addition to this although we agreed to pay for repairs as we were unable to prove otherwise, the owner invoiced us for total replacement of these. Eg a few broken bed slats - invoiced for a new bed. Some biro on a cushion - invoiced for 2 new cushions. They took our entire £350 bond. We are shocked and disgusted that Sykes and the owner could be so unreasonable. Will never use either again.

Our family had a lovely stay at Sandpiper Cottage.

It was nice and spacious with everything a young family would need. Cullen is a beautiful place and the location of the cottage is great. Great beach which we spent a lot of time on and a nice little pub a 2 minute walk away. This is a great base for visiting the Moray coast.

Louise the owner was fabulous she made sure that everything was alright before and after we arrived.

The house is spotless with everything you require on hand. The cottage is only a short walk from Cullen beach and centrally located to explore the area. I will definitely stay again.

Lovely spacious cottage, great wee outdoors space.

Nice and cosy stay during very cold weather. Will return to this property.

Very nice cottage and facilities.

Location is perfect spot to explore the area. Cosy and comfy and everything we needed. Thank you.

We had the best family holiday booking both cottages gave us enough room for all of our family.

They are both stunning inside with everything you need to have the best holiday. Our host was amazing too the communication and advice about the area was lovey.. Such a beautiful area to explore and discover with our kids and dog. Thanks again

Lovely property, Louise was a great host, everything that we needed at the property (but could have done with a microwave).

Had the best week with the family at Sandpiper cottage in Cullen.

It was so cosy, spacious, spotlessly clean and decor was lovely. The beds were all really comfy too. It’s only 2 minutes walk to the beach, so the ideal location to explore the local area. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. Louise was the perfect hostess and kept in regular contact with us throughout our stay to make sure we had everything we needed and also gave us lots of tips and ideas on best places to visit and eat out. It was our first time at the cottage and definitely won’t be our last. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and will be recommending it to our family and friends Thanks again

We loved our stay in Cullen, the cottage is in a great location right next to the beach & harbour.

There are easy walks along the coast & around town and loads of local activities for families. We saw the Moray dolphins playing just across the rocky beach from us when we walked along to the pet cemetery! We have already recommended Cullen to friends as a great holiday destination.

We had a wonderful stay at Sandpiper Cottage, plenty to explore in Cullen and the surrounding area and the accommodation was excellent!

Had a super stay at beautiful Sandpiper Cottage, we had everything we needed.

The cottage was super clean, the beds were comfortable and there was loads of space for us all. The area is lovely, the beach is so close and there are loads of nice places to eat.

Fantastic property.

Very clean and modern.

What an absolutely glorious cottage!

Louise was a wonderful host and very attentive with any questions we had. She also provided us with lots information on the area as well as activities happening at the time. The cottage itself was completely charming, decorated to a high specification and had the perfect location, just a stones throw from the sea. We will 100% be booking again next year!

After looking for a last minute booking we came across this lovely cottage, and was over the moon to be the first ever guests!

We were greeted with coastal interior’s and welcoming finishing touches! Had an amazing few days with lots of walks and great places to eat!! Our host Louise was in regular contact to make sure we had everything we needed!
