The Aberdeenshire region

Fordyce lies just off the Moray coast, only a mile and a half from the sea. There are many places of interest, beginning with the village itself. Within easy travelling distance are historical landmarks such as Findlater Castle, the 'Cup and Saucer', Duff House, RAF Banff, and the local distilleries. If you would like to find out more about the village, please go to www.fordyce.org.uk.

For golf fans, an amazing selection of golf courses are within easy striking distance - such as Cullen, Duff House Royal, Royal Tarlair, Strathlene, Buckpool and Spey Bay, to name a few. For fishing devotees, the Deveron is only a few miles away and the Spey just a little further.

For cyclists, Fordyce is situated on National Route One, providing fantastic opportunities for you to enjoy the clean air and stunning views which the surrounding countryside provides. If castles and history are your 'thing', then look no further. Fordyce boasts its own Castle, and there are many within easy travelling distance.

For artists and photographers, the village itself, the stunning coastline and the surrounding area provides an endless stream of inspiration.

The climate of the area is generally good during spring and summer, with relatively light rainfall. It can become much colder in late autumn/winter - so plenty of winter woollies are recommended!

“A lovely relaxing break in a fabulous house.” We arrived and were welcomed by the owners who showed us round the property. We found it to be very clean and comfortable with everything you could possibly need. The owners had kindly left milk,butter etc in the fridge which was great. We would have no hesitation recommending this property and have been telling all our friends. Fordyce is a beautiful wee village and we had a lovely time here...we only wished we'd booked it for a few days longer!
