"61 Seatown is one of those places you will never forget."
Cullen is so beautiful and the fisherman's cottages are part of the beauty of the village. 61 is a comfortable cottage with all the amenities you will need. 61 is cosy with his log burning stove as well as comfortable central heating. The kitchen is well equipped but their are plenty of eateries and shops to visit. The cottage is really close to the seafront which our dog loved . We are so pleased with our stay we aim on coming back next year. Thank you for such a memorable stay.

"A proper fisherman cottage with duck or grouse ceilings and doorframes."
If you are over 6ft you will bang your head! The stairs are very steep and narrow Having said the negatives - we loved our stay. It was perfect! Don't go here if you want busy...it's so quiet, a perfect retreat to let the wind and sea breakers wash away the stresses and restore you to health. Also..we were well blessed with dry weather for 6 of our 7 days. Whilst the rest of uk was suffering deluges we had blue skies!

"61 Seatown is a gorgeous cottage which is beautifully decorated with relevant pictures and ornaments."
It is more like someone's home than a self catering let. Very well equipped and really clean. The lovely sunny courtyard is a real bonus but spoiled for dog owners by the lack of any fencing across the only open side. Personally I felt that the hob and oven were too fancy/ complicated for a holiday property as no-one wants to have to study instruction manuals to be able to make dinner the first night!
Hi Sheona Many thanks for your lovely review. We are glad you enjoyed your visit to 61 Seatown. Unfortunately, the council will not allow us to fence off the courtyard as it is part of the conservation area. Thanks again for booking 61. Kind regards Pete & Karen Property Owner

"This cottage was beautiful, it was immaculate inside and had everything we needed."
Every little detail the owners have done to make our stay nice. A lovely gesture from the owners of a box of chocolates. Cullen is a beautiful place made even better by returning home each day to this little gem of a property. Thank you
Dear Victoria Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay at 61, and would welcome you back at any time. Please just get in touch if you wish to return. Thank you again for booking 61. Best wishes Pete & Karen Property Owner

"The cottage was very well-appointed and cosy with the log fire easy to light."
It is situated a couple of minutes walk from the beach. Its garden is sheltered which was much appreciated as it was windy last week. The cottage was in immaculate condition and the owners were very helpful and contacted us to arrange for an early entry if we were in the area.

"61 Seatown is a lovely gem of a cottage, well equipped, spotlessly clean and in a great location."
A beautiful coastline right on the doorstep. Highly recommended.

"Overall the accomodation was fine."
Its a pity that the heating in the main bedroom was not sufficient during the night. Given the fact our holiday was in the middle of a very cold spell (below freezing) it resulted in the room being very cold. Couldnt adjust the temperature above 14 degrees. If this was rectified the accommodation would be perfect.
Ann, Many thanks for your feedback. As a result of this, we are going to install a new radiator with a Smart Thermostat valve which will work independently and allow the radiator to remain on during the night. Apologies for any inconvenience. Kind regards Pete & Karen Property Owner

"This is our 2nd visit to the property."
Had a lovely, chilled week (again). Perfect location and well maintained. Only down side was the heating going off during the night - main bedroom became very cold. It is the first time we have had cold weather whilst visiting the moray coast (thankfully). Last visit to house we had 14 deg c during the day, this time max temp was 4 degc. Still had a fab holiday and would recommend the property.
Dear Vicky Many thanks for your feedback. As a result of the bedroom being chilly, we are going to install a new radiator with a Smart Thermostat valve which will work independently and allow the radiator to remain on during the night. We are glad you enjoyed your 2nd visit to 61 Seatown. Kind regards Pete & Karen Property Owner

"Absolutely gorgeous property!"
Possibly one of the cleanest holiday homes I have stayed in The location to the beach is amazing - 2 minute walk. We spent so much time just wandering down to watch the waves. Perfect for 4 people, and had everything we needed We will definitely be booking here again
Dear Sarah Many thanks for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay at 61 Seatown and would welcome you back at any time. Best wishes Pete & Karen Property Owner

"Fabulous property, that was spotless and welcoming upon our arrival ( the complimentary box of chocs went down a treat)."
We had the most amazing week staying in Cullen and after a day out it was always great to "come home" to No.61 and curl up in front of a real fire. [Just to make fellow dog owners aware the yard/garden area is only secure on 3 sides - we came prepared with a portable/foldable dog fence. Otherwise scarily there is access to the busy not too far away Inverness road]. Brilliant property, I would highly recommend and may well visit again!!!
Dear Ginny Many thanks for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay at 61 Seatown and would welcome you back at any time. Best wishes Pete & Karen Property Owner

"We loved our stay at 61 Seatown."
The cottage is superbly equipped, meaning that it was a real home away from home. Great location near to be beach meaning that great walks were on our doorstep. Cullen golf course was great to play as well being a lovely place to stop for a drink after a walk.
Dear Bernadette, Many thanks for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay at 61 Seatown and would welcome you back at any time. Best wishes Pete & Karen Property Owner

"We had the loveliest week at 61 Seatown."
The cottage is absolutely spotless and such a warm and inviting home from home, a week wasn’t long enough! The perfect location, right next to the beach and pub but only a very short walk up the hill into the town of Cullen. Lots of great walks on the doorstep and we were lucky enough to see the Northern Lights. We loved the cottage and Cullen and will definitely be back. If you’re thinking about booking then do it!

"Lovely cottage, very comfortable and well located close to the lovely beach."
The cottage was well equipped and veey clean. It was close to the Royal Oak, which was very good. We had a nice lunch there. A short walk up the hill to the centre of Cullen where there were a number of places to eat. We visited Linda's chip shop, Lily's cafe and the Rockpool which were all very good. Lots of local walks and we really enjoyed being close to the beach. The cottage was dog friendly which was just what we were looking for. Highly recommended and we would definitely go back.
Thank you for your lovely review. We are glad you enjoyed your stay at 61 Seatown, and would love to have you back. Regards Pete & Karen Property Owner

"A fabulous stay and such helpful owners."

"This cottage is beautiful."
Perfect for a family holiday. It is super clean and kitted out with everything you would need. A very short walk to the beach. We loved our stay at 61 Seatown and will definitely be back!

"Beautiful property that is well maintained and very clean."
The only downside we had was specific to our family. Would happily book again however we have a 2 year old so only having a shower and no bath isn't ideal for us personally. If you have children that are happy to have showers then its perfect. High recommend.

"We loved our stay at 61 Seatown."
The cottage was spotless, very nicely decorated and had everything we needed for our stay. It’s ideally situated for the beach and also for really good walks. We’ll be back!
-
"This cottage is really clean and comfortable with everything you need."
Great location for walking and beaches. Really enjoyed our stay and look forward to another visit.
-
"We had such a good and relaxing weeks stay in Cullen."
We will most certainly return . Please thank the owners on our behalf.
-
"Very well presented and equipped cottage in a beautiful location."
Due to the nature of the original building, low doors are a hazard and the stairs would prove difficult for the fittest.
-
"We had a fantastic week in this lovely, cosy cottage."
Very clean and inviting. Everything provided should you need it. Did not want to leave. Thank you very much already thinking of returning xx
-
"61 Seatown is a really beautiful cottage, decorated to a very high standard and has everything you need."
It was welcoming and comfortable and was the perfect place to stay. We were warm and cosy and enjoyed every minute of our stay. It wasn't a problem for us, but, the steep stairs may be an issue for some, so best to be aware. The only little thing which I would have appreciated was a dressing table and mirror by the window in the main bedroom or even a small table and mirror just to do hair and make-up. This is not a criticism just something that I personally would have found very useful. 61 Seatown was a perfect place to stay and we look forward to returning to this 'little gem' of a cottage very soon. Cullen itself is wonderful. The cottage is 2 minutes from the beach and harbour and is surrounded by great walks and scenery. The town itself has everything you need and everybody is very friendly. Cullen and the cottage make for a lovely relaxing holiday and we can't wait to return.

"Cullen is well worth a visit."
Beautiful scenery and lots to enjoy outdoors. It has captured our hearts and this quaint, cosy, comfortable and well equipped cottage was ideal for us.
-
"One of the best appointed cottages we have stayed in."
One thing that should be noted is that due to very steep stairs, it would not be suitable for less able people. Also the house is situated 50 meters from the junction not 500 meters as stated. Also the house is behind number 63 and can not be seen from the road.
-
"The best holiday we've had in a long time!"
Cottage was beautiful and absolute spotless and a minute from the beach. Very comfortable and welcoming. Nice welcome pack waiting for us on arrival. Our first time in this part of Scotland and well worth the long drive. Cullen was beautiful, clean sandy beaches and such friendly people. There were no crowds and parking was so easy everywhere we went. Magnificent views from the cliff top walks up to Bow Fiddle Rock. We, and our dog, had a great time. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful holiday away from the crowds and traffic of Devon and Cornwall. We will definitely go again.
-
"Lovely cottage with a fabulous secluded south facing courtyard."
Great value for money too. Already booked again for next year.
-
"The cottage was so cosy, comfortable and very clean."
It had everything we could possibly have needed for a wee Highland break. Cullen is beautiful! This is our first Sykes vacation and we’re very impressed with the standard and ease of the booking, direction given and the follow up. Well done Sykes! We have already made another booking for July in Cornwall and so glad it also has been done through Sykes.

"Lovely clean and very warm wee cottage,upstairs main bedroom a little cooler (which suited as )."
There is everything you will need and more,lovely welcome pack included...The beach is 2 minutes away and is a beautiful beach..We only had one problem....the stairs are very steep and narrow and if you have mobility problems then it could be a problem, but saying that we would go back !!!!The small independent bakers in Portsoy is a must (we even went on day of leaving to take cakes home)..You will not be dissapointed with this wee treasure of a cottage...

"What a lovely week in Cullen."
Immaculate, cosy cottage, very well equipped and tastefully decorated. With the beautiful beach literally on the doorstep, this was a great find. Felt a million miles away!
-
"61 Seatown was a very nice place to stay it was cosy clean, tidy, nicely decorated [ loved the nautical theme] and very well equipped."
The location was for me ideal close to the beach, plenty of historic fishing villages with harbours and fishing boats and a short drive to some distilleries . The welcome package of wine and shortbread was much appreciated. I would have no hesitation in recommending this cottage.
-
"The cottage was fantastic it had everything you needed and the location was a great base"
-
"Cottage was so close to the beach - fabulous!"
Dog friendly so we could take our furry friend on holiday with us. Great walks and activites.
-
"We had a Fantastic time in a Beautiful location, The fisherman’s cottage was cosy, inviting and immaculate with everything we needed for our stay."
-
"I was misled by the photos of the outside side of the cottage ."
It was made to look like it was standing alone . I also thought the photos of the beach were actually views from the cottage . Therefore I was disappointed when we arrived and discovered the cottage was completely boxed in and there was absolutely no view at all. Otherwise the cottage was beautiful and well equipped. Very comfortable and clean .

After dinner, look forward to gathering within the brightly decorated sitting room which is warmed by the roaring woodburning stove, creating the perfect setting for unwinding after an action-packed afternoon.

About the location
CULLEN
Elgin 21 miles.
The Moray coastal town of Cullen is situated on Cullen Bay, an inlet of the Moray Firth, and is an extremely attractive town, originally built around the mouth of the Burn of Deskford. Modern Cullen comprises the delightful fishing village of Seatown and an ‘inland’ area, which stretches up an imposing main street from Seatown, underneath a spectacular viaduct. Although the wealth of Cullen was built on textiles in the 18th century, the town is best known for its fishing heritage, its name being given to a rich, creamy haddock soup known as Cullen Skink. Visitors can enjoy Cullen’s lovely sandy beach, the famous Ice Cream Shop, regarded by many as Scotland’s best ice cream parlour, a fine selection of shops and restaurants, and the historic city of Elgin is within driving distance.
