Cottage holiday rentals in Portknockie

We stayed here a few days in May. The Cottage is very remote, but you can reach the next village in arround 10 minutes by car. It offers great views of the surrounding area. the hot tub was amazing. Also the fireplace. we came to do some hikes and in the end decided to stay a whole day in the cottage, because it was so great.

Simpathetically converted malt house in a peaceful setting. Good sized house with absolutely brilliant garden that had plenty space for the dogs to run around. Comfy beds with fresh linen, towels, robes and slippers. Well stocked kitchen with thoughtful welcome gift. Cozy lounge with plenty logs for the burner. Great little study space for those that still have to do a bit of work. Hot tub clean with non-slip rubber mats around it. Unfortunately, more careful attention needed from cleaning team in places, which was disappointing - for the money, perfection expected. Warning for fellow townies - go less than walking pace along the track to prevent the underside of your car getting scraped, unless you drive a land rover. Also, the bins are located at the end of the road, so stinky rubbish needs to go in the car - too far to carry it. We're not precious about our car but our son flatly refused to take it in his new car!

We stayed for work purposes, house was lovely and exactly as described. Graeme was very quick to respond to my queries. Thank you Graeme, we will definitely stay here again if we are in the area for work or leisure.

Wonderful cottage, roomy, peaceful, and squeaky clean. Beautiful location too - highly recommended.

This place is amazing. Great location to travel around the highlands. Every drive is more beautiful than the last. The donkeys are the sweetest and the cows are so nice to hear and very curious. The little produce stand had eggs and potatoes to purchase which was great for breakfast before adventuring out. Nice walk into town to the pub and deli, even got to meet Percy the local peacock. Everyone is so very friendly. Robert shared local spots and even where to visit the hairy coos nearby. I am glad we booked this little oasis before the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Such a beautiful little get away with so many little hidden gems nearby! Was quiet 24/7 and we loved the peace and the amount of sun the garden and hot tub got. Such a cosy cottage and made us feel at home straight away, worth the drive! Thank you for a lovely stay ❤️

The house was wonderful - we were delighted with both the location and with the property. The house was immaculate, and beautifully furnished with some really lovely pictures and objects throughout. The rooms were all good-sized and bright with the kitchen/dining area overlooking the garden a real standout. It was very well maintained and it felt like a proper home from home. The location was really lovely too - nice and quiet with a very short walk to the beach. We particularly enjoyed our walks around the area and along to Chanonry Point to look for the dolphins. A local pub and a lovely restaurant were close by too which was a bonus! Our host, Eva, provided us with clear and concise information prior to our arrival and messaged us a couple of times during our stay to make sure that all was in order. This was very much appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend the property to others, and we certainly plan to visit again!

We had the most wonderful stay in Butlers cottage. The attention to detail and interior was incredibly thought out, we have never stayed in such a beautiful cottage. The fires were lit upon our arrival and ross was there to welcome us in and show us around. He was genuinely one of the nicest hosts we have met, you can tell he’s passionate about what he does by how incredibly presented everything was. The garden and grounds were stunning, plenty of routes to walk the dog and plenty of places to sit and take in the surroundings. The cottage is tucked away, very nice and private yet still easy to get to and close to the little shop! which we loved. We bought the homemade rolls kit and they were to die for, easy to make and ended up with loads of them to take home. We will without a doubt be back again soon, we didn’t want to leave!!!

Great host and loved the location and accommodation. Garden was great for the dogs and chilling with a beer and beautiful beach 5 minutes across the road. Locals and neighbours were very friendly Travelled to John ‘Groats, The Black Isle and Nairn during our stay. Highly recommend as either a base for touring or just a peaceful break in beautiful unspoilt surroundings.

We stayed for 4 nights and highly recommend. The cottage is clean, cosy and comfortable and is kitted out with everything you’d need. It’s well placed for trips to Aviemore and Kingussie, we visited Loch Morlich and Loch Ness to name a few. Really brilliant decor throughout and the hosts have paid a lot of attention to detail. The bed is really comfy too. We were lucky enough to see a woodpecker among other birds at the feeder outside the window, as well as a red squirrel which we loved! We also had our dog with us and he enjoyed walking and sniffing nearby the cottage. Unfortunately we had quite a bit of rain during our stay but even that didn’t seem so bad because the sound of the rain on the roof somehow made us feel even more cosy. Absolutely can’t fault this beautiful cottage and would definitely recommend to anyone considering.

This is a very comfortable, clean, homely place. It is airy but cosy. Lovely, roomy bedrooms with very comfortable beds and pristine bedding. Close to everything in Cromarty. A really relaxing home from home. Thank you Veronica, for a wonderful weekend

We had a fantastic 3 night stay at Bea’s cottage to attend the Gordon Castle Highland Games. Spotlessly clean and tidy on arrival. Very cosy cottage with a relaxed rustic feel. Great shower!! Large, secure pet friendly garden which our dog loved. Remember to bring apples or carrots to feed the lovely horses which come up to the fence! Elgin and shopping is approx 10mins away as is the fantastic Burghead beach, great for a long walk. Bea was always quick to respond to messages and the cottage was fantastic value for money for four of us. All in all, easy and relaxed stay for us, thank you Bea.

Nice place, enjoyed our stay

If you are hesitating about booking here - don’t! The number of repeat bookings tells you all you need to know. A really beautiful cottage on the Moray coast. Kismul is comfortable and well equipped for family holidays as well as being in a great location.

Really lovely and well equipped little cottage in a beautiful area of the world. Very comfortable bed. The dogs loved the enclosed garden. Handy EV charger at the front. Caroline was very responsive. Highly recommended overall.

Very comfortable cottage in peaceful location yet only a couple of minutes walk from the main street of Braemar.

Had a wonderful stay here! This is the second time I've stayed at Shellys property and it was as beautiful and clean as the first time. Loved the outdoor space, the views are stunning. Everything was so clean and we love the decor. Thanks again for another unforgettable stay! I even saw orcas for the first time just a minute from the property, unreal!

The location was walkable to local shops and restaurants and hiking trails. Harbor and beach was a stones throw away. Very clean and cozy. The beds were so comfy with high quality bed linens. Enjoyed our stay.

What a beautiful cottage in a beautiful part of the world! Pauline & Gordon are such great hosts and provide plenty of recommendations locally. Highly recommend this wonderful property if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing and central base to explore Aberdeenshire!

Rachel's place was lovely and homely. Lots of space inside and out. Within easy driving distance of lots of speyside.

Sandend is one of my favourite places on earth. Ian's cottage is perfectly situated near the harbour. Its uncluttered and has modern appliances. It feels immensely comfortable. I will come back as often as possible. 😊

This cottage is unique, quirky, tastefully designed and decorated. An artistic eye is evident throughout but everything practical is available too. Nothing overlooked. Comfortable and private, very close to beautiful beach and walks. Lovely, sunny, totally private courtyard. Cafes, shops, pubs and restaurants all easily walkable. Seatown is a labyrinth of old cottages, all individual and well loved. Cullen is beautiful and so is the Skink! Absolutely recommend this cottage. Thank you for having us!

Peppermill Cottage is a real gem of a find. Whitehills and the surrounding local villages are absolutely gorgeous. Add to this miles upon miles of coastline and countryside right on the doorstep and you're in for a treat. The cottage itself is well equipped and was squeaky clean for our arrival. We loved the sunny ourdoor space for lazy mornings with a coffee before heading out. Alison was friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Couldn't ask for more!

The cottage was lovely - very peaceful location. Some garden space with outside seating for al fresco eating. Very close to all areas of the village.
