Following a total renovation we are excited to offer this light and bright property, which is surprisingly spacious and finished to the highest standards. Unusual in configuration, it sleeps up to 4 people in 2 downstairs rooms, with a beautiful open plan lounge, dining and kitchen area at street level. There are 2 secure sheds for storing bikes or surf gear, and a pretty enclosed garden, which is quite a sun trap. Only a couple of minutes walk to the historic harbour, this is ideally located! The cottage is split level, with the spacious and airy open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area accessed from the street. Off the kitchen is a handy utility with a large sink, a washing machine and extra kitchen storage units. Off this is a second shower room and upstairs toilet. Down the oak staircase, you will find a king size double bedroom, with it's ensuite bath and walk in shower room. There is also a large second bedroom which can be made up as either a single, double or twin room. This makes the cottage very flexible as it is suitable either for a couple, 4 adults or families. Of course, like all our cottages, we have good WiFi and your four legged friends are very welcome. The kitchen is well equipped, whether you want to cook a full Sunday roast or just heat up a takeaway! We provide Egyptian cotton sheets, Dorma duvet covers and thick fluffy towels. We aim to make the cottage a real home from home, so you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in! Outside there is a storage area for the waste and recycling bins and steps down to the two lockable sheds, should you wish to store bikes, surf boards, SUPs or whatever. There is also a small enclosed patio area, which is quite a suntrap. There is a gate from this level out onto the old railway line, now a footpath leading down to the harbour, and the Wally Green. The road is wide enough and there is usually plenty of space to park directly outside the cottage. Portsoy is a welcoming small town, with a lot going on for it’s size. It has a fantastic sense of community, with the caravan park, the 4 star Salmon Bothy museum, the Sail Loft Bunkhouse and the Scottish Traditional Boat Festival all being run by the community for the community. It is centred around it’s 2 historic seventeenth century harbours, the area little changed in years: it was used as the film setting for the recent remake of Whisky Galore and last series of Peaky fishing industry has largely moved on, but you can often see the town’s two St Ayles skiffs rowing out from the harbour (and you will often find me out with them!) There are some fantastic walks round Portsoy, whether you walk westwards, past the old swimming pool carved out amongst the rocks, along the rugged coastline towards Sandend (pronounced ‘Sanine’) or further along to Findlater Castle, Sunnyside Beach and Cullen, or eastwards along the Coastguard’s path. There is the Shore Inn between the cottage and the harbours… and of course the award winning Portsoy Ice Cream shop. The Banffshire coast is one of the world’s outstanding coastlines, says the National Geographic. Natural beauty combines with plentiful wildlife – there are dolphins, seals, puffins and other seabirds in abundance, if you are lucky enough to see them. Fishing villages all along the coast perch on clifftops, or crouch precariously at the water’s edge, with the oldest houses built gable-end on to the weather and the waves. In the summer, the light up here is special, days are near endless. Winter skies are dark and starry and – with a bit of luck – you might even see the Northern Lights! We hope you will visit Portsoy and discover this often overlooked, largely midge free corner of the North East of Scotland for yourselves Green Things We try to manage our all our cottages in as sustainable a manner as possible. We recycle everything and provide information so our guests can do the same. We are aiming to reduce our use of plastics, by refilling (handsoaps) or sourcing products without plastic packaging (toilet paper, detergents etc). We both drive electric vehicles. I try not to use the tumble dryer, whatever the weather, line drying sheets and towels outside whenever possible. And we have recommendations of local activites, food suppliers and attractions so you can reduce your carbon footprint once you are here. A small start perhaps, but a step in the right direction!
What a gem of a place! Wendy has thought of just about everything you could need to feel like it’s a real home from home. The house has been renovated beautifully, is very comfortable and in such a good position just off the main road, so quiet, but a two minute walk to the harbour. We’ll definitely look here first for our next trip. Thank you Wendy
The Old Police House was amazing. Best holiday home I’ve been in. The cottage was spotless with comfortable furniture and beds. My bathroom was amazing. I felt very pampered. Great to have matching crockery and cutlery. Can’t wait to go back.
Absolutely loved staying here, we’re already looking to book for the summer again. The locals are so friendly and it’s easy to walk everywhere. Plenty of beautiful scenery all around.
There is a fairly infrequent bus service (no 35) along the coast to Banff or via Sandend, Cullen, Portknockie, Findochty, Buckie - very convenient if you want to do the coastal walk in one direction and bus back!
