  • "Wow, what an incredible stay we’ve had."

    On arrival we were welcomed to a bottle of Prosecco and a lovely note. To our surprise tea, coffee, sugar and fresh milk were all provided which meant we were able to put our feet up and relax straight away after a long drive! I couldn’t fault a single thing on our stay as every little detail has been thought out by the owners to ensure guests are comfortable during their stay. Everything was immaculately clean and the bed was SO comfortable. To top it off the dolphins were visible from the living room window as the sun was setting, to be cosy inside watching the dolphins is an experience like no other. We will certainly be back in summer to experience this all over again! We enjoyed many a cosy night in with the log burner on and spending hours playing card games and jigsaws which again were all provided by the owners which was a lovely touch! We really didn’t want to leave and felt so at home here.

    thankyou for the wonderful feedback, we're so glad you enjoyed your stay, hope to see you again Property Owner

  • "Enjoyed a few days at west pier cottage last week."

    Perfect for watching the sea and managed to see some dolphins. The property was well furnished with good quality furniture. Double bedroom was nicely decorated with a fantastic comfortable bed. Just bought a mattress topper as I found it that comfy. The kitchen was well equipped. No oven but was told that when I booked. Didn't mind as there was two air fryers one being air fryer oven which I use at home. There we're workmen next door but didn't hear them as the walls are very thick. Banff is not far away and have good food shops and enjoyed happy haddock fish and chips which is a couple of streets away. Owner's we're a phone call away which was good to know. Only thing that was disappointing was the weather. Wet and windy all week. Couldn't be helped I'm afraid. Definitely recommend. Christine

About the location

MACDUFF

Banff 1.5 miles; Whitehills 4 miles; Portsoy 9 miles.

MacDuff is situated on Banff Bay and overlooks its neighbouring town of Banff, just across the estuary of the River Deveron, on the Moray Coast in the north east of Scotland. Macduff enjoys stunning sea views and wonderful sunsets and the architecture reflects its maritime heritage. The north east coast of Scotland is a hidden gem, with its atmospheric fishing villages dotted along the coastline, making it a wonderful place for easy exploration. MacDuff has a busy working harbour. The town itself has a lot to offer with an excellent selection of shops and good restaurants and a visit to the MacDuff Aquarium is a must for seeing the species found in the waters of the Moray Firth. For Golfers, the Royal Tarlair course is a challenge as it is situated on precipitous cliffs and lost balls are never retrieved! Macduff is a wonderful town and an ideal holiday base.
