Braefoot cottage is in the perfect location: in the beautiful Fortrose, with direct sea views and access to a small but perfectly formed beach. It's very quiet, and the house itself has everything to make it cosy. The kitchen was well kitted out and there was plenty of space for the 4 of us. Great bath! We loved our stay and will come back.
