Detached Coastal Fisherman's Cottage with Amazing Sea Views.

Experience life by the sea in Scotland. Not just a coastal getaway, your cottage is the seafront itself. Explore the rugged coastline, observe marine life, soak up the sea air and discover a truly historic area.

We have restored the property without altering the original form to maintain its authenticity. The property is a traditional fisherman's cottage with exposed beams and a sunroom with uninterrupted views over the sea. Unusually for a property in a fishing village, the cottage is detached, has private parking for 3 cars and a large garden, loved by families and nature lovers.

All year round you can see dolphins swimming up and own the coast with tides. Grey seals are resident on the rocks and you can hear them calling. Puffins nest nearby in Findon Moor. Enjoy a break wave watching from the bottom of the garden then warming up by the wood burning stove.

The cottage is cosy and comfortable with all the basics like wifi, dishwasher, netflix and central heating. Plain White hotel grade China , pure cotton bedding and high tog duvets.

There is plenty to do along this stretch of the coast- sea kayaking, wild swimming, diving and snorkeling. Great cod fishing occurs from the rocks all year round. In summer the mackerel return in good numbers. Lobster and shore crabs can be caught from the rocks with care. There's a lobster pot and crab line. Climbers go bouldering on the rocks near the bay. At the other end of the village is a small pub for a bacon roll brunch and a pint.

It is a perfect get-away location for nature lovers with wildlife watching opportunities of dolphins, porpoise, peregrines, gannets and puffins. On rare occasions Minke and Humpback whales have been sighted. The surrounding rocks are home to many coastal plants.

Many people use the cottage as a base from which to see local attractions, including the imposing Dunnottar Castle, serene Crathes Castle gardens and Royal Deeside.

Stonehaven is home to an outdoor olympic-sized heated swimming pool and is famous for the fireball display on Hogmanay.

The surrounding region is really beautiful offering some of the best castles in the world - Crathes, Drum and Balmoral. Great gardens and parks and grand mountain landscapes of the Cairngorms. The county is famous for its golf courses and increasing recognised for its cycling routes.

The cottage accommodation offers:
Ground floor: Living room with Amazon Firestick and Freesat Smart TV. Double bedroom. Dining table in sunroom and in kitchen. Bathroom. All on one level.
Kitchen: Double electric oven, electric hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher.
Bedroom 2: Single bed (1 or 2) in loft room; perfect for kids.
Bedroom 3: Single bed in loft room; perfect for kids.
Bathroom: Small bathroom with shower, toilet and heated towel rail.

The cottage is off the road.
The garden is fenced at the end of the garden but supervision in the village and on coastal paths is needed for young children.

Rest by the North Sea

This cottage was just as described! The kitchen was well stocked with all that we needed for making our own meals and we enjoyed lovely views at the table while we ate. It was a perfect place to take our teens for scrambling over the rocks on the shore, and finding the cliff path all the way there!

Just perfect for us

Lovely warm cosy cottage with all we needed for the stay, fantastic garden with beautiful views, small fence at each end and it felt very safe for our dogs who loved it. Lots of places to visit in the area. Very peaceful location, yet minutes drive away from shops etc for supplies. We saw the dolphins and seals from the bottom of the garden, it was perfect. Thank you for letting us stay, hope to be back one day.

It was our second time in this great house. It is perfectly situated in a small cul-de-sac and offers unrivalled views of the sea. It is lovingly furnished and nothing is missing. We would love to come back.
