"A wonderful holiday - the cottage was fabulous."
It was clean, and the welcome tray of goodies was such a lovely gesture. It was cosy, and with a lovely log fire, was a perfect way to spend the evenings after a busy day. The rooms were a good size with a modern kitchen and bathroom. We come to Cullen every year and will definitely return to this cottage.
Thank you very much we love that you love our wee little cottage as much as us! Property Owner

"One of our party complained that his bed was extremely creaky."
This was in one of the upstairs bedrooms. Everything else was wonderful.

"Beautiful cottage set in a picturesque village!"
We love Cullen and visit every summer, this was the first time in this cottage which was well equipped and had all we needed. The welcome package and treats for our dog was a lovely and much welcome touch! Thank you, we’ll be back soon!
Thank you very much we hope to have you back Property Owner

"We enjoyed our stay and cottage was very nice."
A couple of things spoiled our stay, windows did not open to allow air flow, seating in the living room was a bit uncomfortable, and downstairs bedroom was a bit cold. Would return Again though.
Great overall feedback thanks very much. We are scratching our heads about the windows not being able to be open and if that was the case you should've contacted us at any time and we would've been more than happy to sort out any issue, it wasn't raised and so unfortunately nothing was done about it :(. Glad to hear you would come back though :). Property Owner

"Beautiful holiday cottage."
Fabulous location. Everything you would need was provided. Couldn't of asked for more. Parking is obviously a little constricted but the lady over the road was very accommodating where we could park outside her home.

"Thank you for a great week."
It was snowing a lot but we were very cosy and comfortable. We had my elderly mum with us and stayed in quite a bit to prepare meals etc - there was everything we needed and it was helpful to have a spacious dining area. We also had our dog and enjoyed fabulous coastal walks and play on the beach and running along the coastal paths towards Portknockie and towards Sandend kept our training up - returning to a powerful hot shower and large fluffy bath sheet was great!. It’s a fabulous cottage in a great setting. The welcome tray was also a lovely treat for us.
Thank you very much we look forward to welcoming you back! Property Owner

"A very clean, comfortable, cosy and well equipped cottage."
An interesting layout that took a little thought to best approach. Obviously a great location on an incredible coast full of places to visit, beaches and wildlife. The housekeeper, Debbie, is a gem and the lady opposite encouages you to park right outside her cottage. Only downside was not being able to stay longer.

"Loved this cottage, had everything we needed to make our holiday great."
The location is fabulous, close to the pub, beach and shops. Cullen is beautiful and the locals are so friendly. Would highly recommend this wonderful cottage and place to stay.
-
"Perfect position for the beach, all facilities met its the best cottage we have stayed in and we have been coming up to Scotland for 30 years."
The only thing we would say that maybe a stairgate could be offered to the younger children as we had a under 2 year old with us .
-
"Excellent cottage!"
We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage itself was excellent. Exceptionally clean and comfortable. Welcome pack was wonderful....we did enjoy the beer and prosecco! The cottage was lovely and warm when we arrived and had everything we needed and more. Around the cottage was very typical for this type of cottage and location. Very narrow street, the kind lady across the street allowed us to park in front of her house, if not, its only a very short walk to other easier parking. There is no garden and a narrow path at the rear of the cottage which is enclosed. I would highly recommend staying in this cottage and will definitely be back in the future

"The cottage was lovely, clean & comfortable:) perhaps a point where you can charge your phones or ipads would be a bonus, we did take a plug with us - but we were constantly swapping devices, other than that nothing more can be done to make the cottage more comfortable, we enjoyed our stay and will hopefully return, thank you."

"Had a lovely few days at this cottage and the weather was blue sky's every day so did a lot of walking."
Debbie the caretaker always on hand to help if there are any issues..(there wasn't) but grateful for her interaction ❤ Also the lane outside cottage is very narrow for parking so a kind lady opposite the cottage let me park outside her house
-
"Well unfortunately I missed the trip re covid but my husband and children went."
We are familiar with Cullen but first stay in this cottage. My husband was amazed, he said it was spot on…. Beautiful snacks with beer/coffee left out for us. Cleanliness was excellent and my daughter said the beds were very comfortable!!!! They could not fault it, very comfortable warm environment to be in. Hopefully I will make our next visit
-

Second time we have visited and it has been fantastic both times.
-

"Beautiful cottage in a lovely seaside location, would definitely recommend this cottage."
-
"Beautiful location and lovely roomy, well equipped cottage."
-
"The cottage was fab and as described."
My 'key' contact Debbie was brilliant. I would still rate the property 5 star, but the bathroom, although clean, the paintwork etc could do with a refresh,
Thank you for your feedback, it’s how we improve. I am glad to report that we have now completely renovated the entire bathroom from top to toe. Look out for the new images on the website! Look forward to welcoming you back! Property Owner

"This was beautiful place to stay the cottage had lots of character and the village itself was beautiful and friendly."
We swam in the sea and went out cycling. We would definitely be back. The cottage was very clean and great communication from the person looking after the house for us getting there etc.
-
"House was comfortably furnished, except for double bed upstairs it was sagging in middle."
Found it difficult to dry towels as drying line did not catch sun or wind. Could not get oven to work fortunately not a major problem, if we had phoned owner sure she would have explained it. Only moments from fabulous beach, kids had a ball!!
-
"A lovely, cosy holiday cottage in the most perfect location."
It had everything we needed and a lovely welcome pack. Cullen is a beautiful place and we looking forward to coming back.
-
"Great cottage Only 100 yards from Cullen beach and had everything you could want including a very nice welcome pack."
Very comfortable and spacious although headroom upstairs caused a few knocks to the head. Parking on the street limited but we parked on the sea front which was a couple of minutes walk so really not a problem. We would certainly recommend this cottage and hope to return.
-
"Everything was clean and comfortable the only issue is with the Wi-fi - but that is to be expected in this part of the country."
It worked in certain areas of the house and it is also dependent on the provider you are with.
-
"Couldn'tof asked for a nicer cottage."
Was clean and cosy. Seatown was lovely and interesting to explore. Even though places were shut due to the dreaded Covid it didnt detract from the beauty of the area. The contact with the lady caretaker was exceptional and she couldnt do enough to help considering what was going on. Thank you and we cannot wait to come visit again.
-
"What a wonderful cottage."
Immaculately clean, had everything we could of needed for our stay and super comfy beds. Arrival was quick and easy, and the cottage was lovely and cosy for us, a great bonus especially as it was pouring rain!! We had such a great stay, will definitely be back in the future.
-
"The cottage is ideally suited in the heart of Cullen Seatown."
The facilities were exactly as described. Entry was simple and the little extras (biscuits, coffee, shampoos, soaps and beverages) were a nice touch and much appreciated. The log fires in the cottage were superb and well stocked and the dining room and living room separation provided a nice contrast between mealtime, games and a place to chill. The bedrooms were comfortable and ideal for a family of four. Just the one bathroom requires a bit of coordination between family members, but that is clearly understood in a property of this size. Parking on the narrow streets can be an issue so we tended to use a wider street by the nearby churches. The neighbours we met were very friendly. We would plan to return and hope to secure the same cottage which met all our expectations.

"Thanks to Debbie for a lovely welcome."
We had a welcome pack on arrival, it was clean and lovely cottage as described!

"A great wee house in an excellent location for exploring the Moray coast."
-
"Fantastic location ."
Ideal if you are a runner, cyclist, Walker . Had some amazing runs . Local people are very friendly . Pub and the cafe rock pool , fantastic locally sourced food .Cottage provides everything we needed. The upstairs is beautiful done considering it originally did not have an upstairs however be prepared for low ceilings . Having a washing machine for muddy running kit was well received . Only down side which is common in mist rental properties was the kitchen knifes were very blunt . But that is the only negative .

"Spent New Year in Cullen house was a perfect location for walks on the beach with the dog and perfect for relaxing after in front of the log burning fire."
The festive welcome goodies were a lovely unexpected touch. Debbie, the housekeeper was very attentive.
-
"Very warm and comfortable."
Short break for Mother and Daughter - we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves
-

"The Cottage was fantastic."
-
"Everywhere is clean and litter free"
-
"Beautiful cosy cottage in a great location and extremely well equipped."
Owners were only a text away and responded quickly when we need help with one or two technical issues. Only criticism would be that the street outside the house is very narrow and we were unable to park our car due to other cars being opposite. We unpacked it easily outside the door, however & then moved it a few streets along where there was more space. It would have been good to know this before we booked. Would most definitely stay again though & be happy to recommend to family and friends.

The property
A two-storey detached fishermans cottage, once a bakery for the Seatown of Cullen, situated close to the harbour, beach and town centre.
A delightful place to bring family or friends, this cottage provides two floors of character and charm, inviting you inside via an entrance hallway.
The dining room is brought to life by a stone feature wall housing a woodburning stove, with a contemporary dining table centering the layout.
Dual-aspect windows create a pleasant outlook, and the kitchen lies two steps down, with a collection of appliances, and marble-effect counter-tops forming a quality setup, which can be enjoyed any time of the day.
For those cosy nights in, the sitting room awaits with its leather sofas, feature fireplace and floor lighting which projects a warm glow, as you settle down in comfort after the sun goes down.
A family bathroom includes a bath, shower, and a hand-held shower, a charming place to get ready before those up and coming adventures.
Three bedrooms are beautifully presented, a double room is located on the ground floor, coordinated with bedside tables and neutral decor, to promote a peaceful night's sleep.
Two further bedrooms are situated upstairs, both charmingly tucked away beneath sloping ceilings and exposed beams.
A Velux window welcomes in natural light.
Cullen is one of the world’s outstanding coastlines, not just for its natural beauty with plentiful wildlife, dolphins, seals, puffins and other seabirds in abundance, but for its “strong community feeling”.
The Royal Burgh of Cullen comprises sandy beaches and seascapes, coast paths, an historic harbour designed by Thomas Telford, great shops and eateries and places to stay all placed against the backdrop of old railway viaducts.
Retaining lots of original features, this is a wonderful cottage to make you feel right at home.

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.
