Portsoy, one of many historic fishing ports dotted along this stunning stretch of north east Scotland's coastline, can be found halfway between the towns of Cullen and Banff on the beautiful Moray Firth. Portsoy is an attractive vacation spot because of its proximity to the Malt Whisky Trail and its two harbors—one historic and one new—as well as its outstanding local facilities, such as hotels, taverns, and stores. A number of high-caliber golf courses with breathtaking ocean vistas can be found in the region, and beachgoers and hikers will adore the coastal path's access to the area's pristine natural scenery and the freedom to explore its beautiful stretches of sand. If you want to learn more about the fascinating past of Portsoy and its role as a trading, fishing, and smuggling port, a trip to the Salmon Bothy is a must.

We had been keen to escape from the stress of Christmas and recharge our batteries and the appeal of a little fishermanâs cottage near the sea was hard to resist. The weather as predicted was awful but the cottage was so welcoming and warm with its log burning wood stove, lovely furnishings and decor. The bedrooms comfortably furnished with seaside themes and the beds so comfortable. There was a lovely welcome pack on arrival and the kitchen is well equipped with everything you could need. The upstairs main bedroom and shower room has a very low sloping ceiling which it takes a bit of getting used to and I did manage to bang my head on it once so something to be aware of but you only make that mistake once and just something to be aware of. Being a thick walled cottage, we never heard any loud traffic even though we were not far from the town centre. There are also so many decent shops nearby for supplies, eg. Places to eat, coffee shops, gift shop,bakers, fishmonger, co op, hotel, fish and chip shop etc all less than 5 minute walk away and a lovely harbour and beach 15 mins walk away. The cottage can comfortably accommodate a family of 4 or 2 couples or even just one couple like us looking for some peace and quiet. We loved our stay here and would definitely like to return again in the summer. Thank you so much for helping us celebrate our special anniversary and take home some lovely memories to treasure.

Portsoy is a lovely village and the coast around this area is spectacular. The EV charging point in The Square in Portsoy was just 2-3 minutes walk away and was reliable, so we started each morning with a fully charged car. The cottage was very warm, comfortable and well equipped. We hope to come back.
