About the home

Our second cottage in Lossiemouth is located next door to our popular Seatown Cottage, in the middle of a row of 4. It is a traditional fisherman's cottage, built around 1850, and originally a thatched bungalow. Downstairs there is a large double bedroom with king size bed, a newly fitted bathroom (with shower over the bath) and a lounge. This has a woodburning stove to keep the cottage warm on those long winter evenings, and opens out into the newly installed galley kitchen. Upstairs there are 2 attic rooms. Because of their low ceilings, we have kitted these out as a children's twin room and a 'den' - complete with bean bags, a toy chest and a second TV and DVD player.

Outside there is a garden shed, and a fairly sheltered and secluded garden, although it is not enclosed.

The cottage is ideal for couples, or those with young families. Well behaved dogs are welcome, but we do ask that they are not allowed on the furniture or in the bedroom. It provides comfortable and cosy accommodation in a stunning location, just opposite the bridge to the fabulous East Beach and an easy walk to the woods along the river's edge.

The Scottish Highlands region

The Scottish Highlands were popularised as a tourist destination when Queen Victoria bought Balmoral Castle in 1848. It is easy to understand why, with the wide open spaces, the 'big' sky, rugged mountains and tranquil glens. Home to many of Scotland's most famous whiskies and the Cairngorms National Park, there are many opportunities for outdoor pursuits, including walking, fishing and mountain biking. There are also plenty of award winning golf courses to enjoy. The Moray Firth coastline is also stunning, with its mix of cliffs and coves and wide beaches with the whitest of sands. Whether you want to take advantage of the many activities on offer or relax and unwind, the Highlands will have something for you!

The Lossiemouth area

Lossiemouth can be found on the Moray coast some five miles north of Elgin. The town owes its existence to Elgin’s need for a port after the entrance to Loch Spynie became blocked by sand in the 1500's.

Around Lossiemouth
There are a number of nice walks from the cottage, along the beach of course, but also along the river and through the woods. Ospreys are frequently seen fishing near the mouth of the Lossie. Or perhaps a walk along the Esplanade to the harbour and marina, maybe stopping at one of the pubs or the Harbour tearooms for refreshments. A walk along the Esplanade probably wouldn’t be complete without a locally made ice cream! At the marina, why not book a boat trip to have a chance of a close encounter with some of the Moray Firth’s resident bottlenosed dolphins and other wildlife?
For evening entertainment, there is live music at The Steamboat Inn on a Friday night or checkout what’s on at The Warehouse Theatre. If you have children with you, take them to explore the ruins of nearby Duffus castle, or on a wet day there’s plenty to keep them entertained swimming or skating at The Moray Leisure Centre in Elgin.

For the practical side of things, Lossiemouth has a small supermarket, a greengrocers, a couple of butchers and a bakery. Otherwise there are 24 hour Tesco’s and Asda’s just 6 miles away in Elgin. However, if you want a total break, you can eat out at a number of fine restaurants or pick up a takeaway!

Whisky
Around half the distilleries in Scotland are found in Speyside, just on our doorstep. In fact, this area has the highest concentration of distilleries anywhere in the world. Many of them including such famous names as Glenfiddich, The Glenlivet, The Macallan and Glen Moray welcome visitors.

What else to do?
Here is a selection of the many other things that may be of interest (full details available at the cottage):
• Visit the ruins of Elgin Cathedral ‘Lantern of the North’, once second in importance only to the cathedral at St Andrew’s
• Get an insight into Scottish history with a local perspective at Elgin Museum, one of the oldest in the country
• See the collection of vintage cars and motor cycles at Moray Motor Museum
• Explore the ruins of Duffus Castle, with its old motte and bailey. Also incidently a great vantage point if the fighter jets are taking off from RAF Lossiemouth
• Visit The Loft Live Music, Bistro and Outdoor Activities
• Go Horse Riding
• Baxters Highland Village for some shopping, a bowl of their famous soup, and a pancake with ice cream and toffee sauce…..
• Visit the only mill in Scotland to transform fibre to finished product at Johnstons Cashmere Visitor Centre and Shop (also good for homebakes!!)
• The kids would love the WDCS Wildlife Centre at Spey Bay
• Play golf at the Championship Course at Moray Golf Club, Lossie, or Elgin Golf Club or one of the other numerous links or inland courses around the area.

“Just perfect” Fantastic cottage with everything you could want. The owners have put so much thought into equipping the cottage - we just couldn't fault it.  It was spotlessly clean, warm and comfortable.  The location is perfect, so close to beach.  Just loved the wood burning stove.  Having spent many holidays in self catering accommodation 6 seatown has got to be up there with the best.   All in all we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and look forward to returning in the near future.

“Cosy, comfy, clean and welcoming” Before we arrived I had thought that we might be a bit cramped because I had originally wanted to book the bigger cottage next door but was booking late, it was already taken, and I was a bit desperate to get anywhere to stay at really short notice. I shouldn't have worried, I was pleasantly surprised - it is a lovely cottage and actually deceptively spacious inside. My two children loved the upstairs and the nautical themed bedroom and playroom - and they are ages 13 and 8. The cottage was very clean and well laid out with a new kitchen and bathroom. I was a bit overwhelmed by the generous welcome pack - we have never had anything close to that before, but it was so handy to have just these few things to get us started. Lossie weather threw a lot at us during our holiday but the cottage was lovely and cosy and warm the whole time. No hesitation about booking here again.

“Lovely place and lovely cottage” Fantastic cottage, very cosy and comfortable with everything you could need. We stayed a week and wished it was longer. As we have lived in Lossiemouth and been there since several times it was so nice to be back at such a friendly, relaxed seaside town. Beautiful beaches to keep the children entertained for hours, great restaurants etc. We will definitely be back!

“Beautiful accomodation by the sea” We have stayed in many holiday lets but this beats them all. The layout of the cottage was good, our grandaughter loved the bedroom and play room. The fixtures and fittings were of a high quality and everything was very well maintained. The welcome pack was very much appreciated! We would have no hesitation in staying here again.

“A Fantastic, by the sea, place to holiday!” The long trip up the A9 was all worth it for this cottage. Lossiemouth is a perfect destination anyway but our week in this cottage was made even more so. There is nothing that hasn't been provided for. Recently renovated there is every luxury that you don't normally find in the average cottage. It is so close to the sea you can walk to the beach with no shoes on. Tucked away in Seatown this cottage is the ideal seaside get-away. Close enough to Elgin for all your shopping needs and yet right on the coast for all that it has to offer. The young children loved the snug upstairs to get away and relax and the nautical themed bedroom was just fantastic. The lounge was very cosy with the wood burning stove and large TV. Overall we had a fantastic time and would love to come back for more. Response: Thank you! Glad you liked it! We had tested the rooms upstairs out on our five year old twins (who can be pretty critical), so were fairly confident, but always glad to have things verified independently!
