Nice and relaxing

What a wonderful cottage with everything you need. And you do hear the waves in the bedrooms the wee back bedroom was fine for 2 kids. Having the washing machine and tumble dryer was great. We done a lot of cooking too. We would love to return especially in the summer but it was great for new year. Watching people in the water and surfing lovely beach abd nice places to visit nearby

Quiet beachside cottage

Loved it!! Was amazing just looking out of the windows at the beach, the waves, the surfers, the paddle boarders, the sun rising, sun setting. The cottage itself is very well equipped inside. Beds are comfortable. Good shower as well as a bath. It's nice and warm and has the gas effect log burner which is nice to have on in the evening. T.V. reception and wifi is good. Outside the top terrace has a washing drying area, furniture to sit on in the sunny weather and a summer house. All in all so comfortable. We took provisions for the week and didn't really want to go anywhere else... we did however!! Great communication with the owners before arriving.

A little bit of paradise in NE Scotland

We had a great time. The house is lovely and in a perfect position for access to the beach and coastal walks while the small ex-fishing village of Sandend is delightful. We had a great week of surfing, went out in the kayak from the harbour and had a porpoise around the boat, went on numerous walks along the beautiful Moray and Banff coastline, visited the old fishing villages of Crovie and Pennan and, on the last night, were treated to a display of Northern Lights from the Harbour wall. Bliss. Shame the village doesn't have a pub or café but I guess you can't have everything! Thanks Wendy for a fantastic base to enjoy all of this from and a warm home to retreat to at the end of the day.

A lovely cottage!

We stayed in Sandend at this lovely spacious cottage in July. Everything was completely perfect from the rooms, to the facilities, to the cleanliness and to the view. We even got lucky with the weather! I would 100% and totally recommend this cottage and I would love to return.

Stunning week in Sandend

Being lulled to sleep by the waves outside and waking up to glorious sunshine was heaven. Cliff walks during the day under bright blue skies followed by fresh fish every night made for a restful week. Can't wait to be back.

Sandend Cottage is a warm, very comfortable holiday retreat with everything you could possibly want. Ideal location for exploring the area and further afield. All topped off with the most stunning views and a fabulous beach right on your door step! Would highly recommend.
