Beachfront holiday rental in Sandend

We all loved our stay in Joanna’s cottage which is right near the traditional end of Sandend with the pretty harbour right in front, this which also makes it a very quiet setting. The cottage is very clean, beautifully furnished and has comfortable beds, a great shower and bath, and a well-equipped new kitchen. We particularly enjoyed the coastal walks from the door to the adjacent villages of Cullen and Portsoy and further to Portknockie and then along the coast between Crovie and Gardenstown. Joanna was very understanding and allowed a late checkout when I was unwell on our departure day, so all in all ten out of ten from us.

Vera’s cottage was ideal for our holiday. It was spotlessly clean and tastefully refurbished. The cottage was very well equipped. The electric central heating worked well as did the shower in the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable and the peaceful surroundings made it nice and quiet overnight. Fishertown streets are very narrow and parking can be an issue but we found a parking space close by every day. Overall I can thoroughly recommend Vera’s place and we would be very happy to return.

Our third visit and it won’t be our last. We love the location and the cottage is so cosy. It’s quickly become our favourite getaway and this was a January holiday rather than a summer one and it’s just as magical!

Beautiful, private and cosy cottage in a stunning location. Peaceful, and scenic! The wood burner was a bonus and was used every night. Clean, well maintained and well presented.

Our 5th visit to the flat which says something in itself! The flat is ideal for my sister and my annual visit to the area as it has everything we need and more. We love the sea views and the friendly neighbours and look forward to another visit sometime.

Fittdie square is idyllic. Easy to walk and explore the food trucks nearby. Locals are friendly and the farm fresh eggs were an added bonus. Loved the outdoor seating area. This place was perfect!

a lovely property in a stunning location. very clean and well presented. great communication. thank you

I have never stayed in such a well organized Airbnb. I mean there were manuals for everything you can possibly have a question about the house, the area and everything in between in well put together binders, labeled, even with indexes. It was really thought out. of course the cottage was immaculate, spotlessly clean and the kitchen was so well put together, you could cook a five course meal in there. All the basics were there, not just in the kitchen but in bathrooms. Bed was super comfy, the views were amazing. I would 100% stay again.

We loved our stay! Beautiful caravan with stunning views! The caravan was like new so clean! The host has been fantastic with communication & was very kind & helpful letting us know if we could get in any earlier too. We would love to come back it was a lovely treat!

A beautiful holiday home, with all amenties provided. A great & responsive host.

Sarah was a fantastic host and really friendly. She kindly delivered new garden furniture which was really appreciated given the lovely weather. A great caravan with everything you need.

A beautifully kitted out caravan which was spotless throughout. Lots of local info, right on the beach. All information was sent in advance and any additional questions were answered quickly. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will be back again next year!

Beautiful house and garden. Perfect location for exploring the Moray Firth. The views from the house were superb. Having the option of the spa opposite was a huge perk. I would highly recommend this house to any families looking to visit the area.

We had the most amazing time! The home was wonderful and what a great little town. We loved all the drivable places to visit, and walking around town.

Last minute get away, the pod it’s self was absolutely beautiful, warm and well equipped. Easy check in, the private hot tub was a lovely. Shower wasn’t that powerful but it absolutely did the job! Check the safety information if you are allergic to horses. 🫣 it does state that there will be horses close (I clearly didn’t check this before booking, ooops) Although they were no problem at all!! They were far enough away from the pod apart from a blink in the morning so it was absolutely no issue for us really. Overall it is a beautiful place and we highly recommend staying here!! Thanks for a brilliant stay! xx

Stayed here while studying minke whales (or lack there of until May-ish) and dolphins in the area. Kiddos will probably love the bunny coat hanger. I stayed in the top bedroom which is the one next to the bathroom, a nice place and the bed is soft :)

This is one of the best Airbnb stays I have had over the years. Sharon was just unbelievably kind and considerate as a host. From start to finish this was a smooth stay. As we were there over Christmas we didn’t get to visit a lot of places, but we took walks along the beach which was lovely, especially when the sun was starting to set. The home was furnished very well and had all the amenities that you would need. Despite us going over our checkout time (again apologies for this) Sharon and the team were so understanding and allowed us to move out our things and kept that kind spirit. In a way it might’ve been a plus as we got to meet her in person and she is just as lovely. Would truly recommend this home. And will definitely be booking this over summer at one point and for a longer stay, to really take in the house!!

This is our second time staying with Liz. You wouldn’t know she allows dogs as so clean. The only thing I would do is add a couple of sun lounges and make the front of the property more attractive, however can’t wait to come back for the third time.

My friends and I had a great weekend stay. Clean and comfortable. Very relaxed. Alan was easily contactable, a great host! Would definitely stay again.

Otters Holt was an amazing place to start our vacation. Sue and Graham are fabulous hosts. Super friendly, responsive, and had great local suggestions for ways to spend our time there. They’ve taken the time to make sure that their home has all the small touches needed, so that you feel at home as well. The full kitchen allowed us to have family over for dinner on the coast, which was great. Plenty of space to spread out and relax, and close to the village for anything you may need. Watching the sunset from the back sitting area, and reading in the garden were my favorite activities. I am thankful they shared their home with us and would absolutely return!

5* place, don’t miss out if you get the chance to stay here! The cottage was fantastic, a real home from home and immaculately clean. We had everything we needed, full kitchen, comfortable beds and good bedding, and so spacious everywhere. Great to have option of utility room too. But then you see the view! WOW, utterly beautiful and breathtaking….. sitting outside with a glass of wine or a cuppa and just watching the sea /weather… the hills/mountains in the background… we got some great sunsets and the peace and calm of this place was enviable. Sadly no dolphins spotted this time for us! Duncan was a fab host, giving so much info on the house, local area and places to visit further away… I’d definitely suggest a walk/drive to the lighthouse in Portmahomack late afternoon and sit on the rocks for a while.. feels like you’re on the top of the world! We left calm and happy and feeling very well looked after, thank you Duncan and Susan! We’d love to come back!
