Pretty cottage on Moray coast: walks & whisky

Seaspray is a traditional stone built fisherman’s cottage in the conservation village of Portknockie on the north east coast of Scotland. It’s light and bright yet a cosy retreat from those refreshing salty coastal winds. Although quaint to look at from the outside, inside it is tardis-like with 4 bedrooms and two bathrooms. A small but pretty back garden allows you to enjoy the premises from the outside too.
The space
Once through the original and characterful double front door, a hallway with slate floor has plenty of hanging space for your belongings. Off this is the newly decorated master bedroom and en-suite, a family bathroom and living room with log burning stove and large corner sofa. The living room leads in to the bright and airy kitchen, with slate floor and underfloor heating.
Upstairs is a third toilet, twin room and two further double bedrooms.
A cot with bassinet option is available if required and can be prepared in a room of your choice.
There is tv in the living room and master bedroom. Both receive Freeview and in the living room an Amazon Firestick allows streaming from channels of your choice such as Netflix or PrimeVideo. Both can also be connected to a smart device with an AV cable (one is provided). There is unlimited broadband and a Sonos speaker too.
The back garden is thoughtfully planted and looks pretty with colour and interest throughout the year. There is a patio’d area immediately out of the kitchen’s french doors, with a bbq and bistro set for al fresco dining.
Guest access
Whole house and back garden. Free on street parking at all hours.
Other things to note
Strictly no smoking please and no animals

  • Much like their scotch, the new visitor center at the Macallan Estate is the perfect blend of new, old, and natural. I highly recommend the tour and tasting.
