Full access to the cottage, along with a shed to store bikes if needed. There is also access to an outdoor BBQ & firepit.
There is a dog box at the fron entrance which contains doggy towels. Beach equipment is available i.e. small beach tent, large beach towels, volleyball net, buckets, spades and fishing nets for the kids.
With 3 local golf courses within easy access, we are also at the gateway to the Malt Whisky trail with access to more than 50 distilleries. Stunning Spey Bay is just a lovely walk along the Moray Coastal trail, where you will find the Whale & Dolphin Centre and as you walk along you will pass our local colony of grey and common seals sunbathing on the beach at Portgordon.
You may be lucky and spot some of our more illusive wildlife i.e. Sea Otters, Dolphins and if you stay at the right time of year you may be lucky enough to view the Northern Lights from the front of the cottage.

Sue & I moved to Buckie in June 2022, moving up from Manchester. Sue is originally a Lincolnshire lass and I come from Inverness. We love walking with our dog Tia and we both love taking lots of photos of our local bird and sea life, along with the Northern Lights when we're especially lucky.
Why they chose this property
We enjoy our home because every day is a different view, never two days the same, even in winter when the wind is blowing and the waves are crashing in. There is so much wildlife to view as well. I suppose really it's the spectacular sunsets that make it really special.
What makes this property unique
We are right on the beach front and have lots of seating outside to watch the glorious sunsets and also to sit and watch the world go by.
