About this property
Traditional Fisherman's Cottage directly on the sea wall.
This superb holiday cottage in the conservation Seatown area of Gardenstown was originally a fisherman's cottage, built in the 19th century and is directly on the Moray Firth - a few metres from the sea and is ideal for a family of four, or a couple looking for an away from it all break. It is not ideally suited for two couples as it has only a single bathroom.
Lie in bed listening to the sound of the waves lapping at the sea wall directly below you. The property was modernised a few years ago and features; a lounge with three sea view windows; large eating kitchen; bathroom with bath and shower over and upstairs one double bedroom and a twin bedroom.
Features include a wood burning stove; strong signal Wi-Fi; wall mounted smart television, (normally with Netflix available;) bose bluetooth music unit; Nespresso coffee machine; full kitchen with dining table; quality cotton bedding and of course those stunning sea views. Look out for the school of dolphins in the Moray Firth, which if you are fortunate could be viewed from inside the cottage.
The kitchen has a dining table for four; washing machine; fridge/freezer; oven and hob etc. Heating is by electric wall heaters and partial underfloor heating.
Situated at the bottom of sandstone cliffs, Gardenstown was founded in 1744 and the harbour now caters for small fishing vessels and pleasure boats.
The small winding streets, picturesque harbour and old stone fisherman's cottages seem untouched by time and the spectacular views, headland and bays round the village make a haven for artists, photographers and bird watchers, while the sandy beaches and rocky coves and pools make it a location for all ages.
Bookings are weekly on a Saturday to Saturday basis with minimum four night stays within a Saturday to Saturday basis in off season - contact us for availability with your dates.
Electric is paid extra, monitored by the guests on a trust basis.
Pets possible on request..

Why they chose this property
My Mum was born and brought up in Gardenstown and so when choosing a location to invest in a holiday property, this was high on the list. Revisiting the village in the early 2000's reminded us how scenic and unique it was.
An ideal "traditional fisherman's cottage" directly on the seafront came on the market and we purchased the property in 2005.

What makes this property unique
While some other properties claim of being "near the sea" we are directly on the sea shore in a conservation area with a sandy bay of natural beauty.
