Cottage vacation rentals in Sandend

Second time we have stayed here, will make it a third sometime in the future. Great cottage and location

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!

The best Airbnb we have ever stayed in. Beautiful location, cozy, relaxing and peaceful. Property had everything we needed. Stunning views from the Hot Tub. Host recommend booking a meal at local hotel and it was fantastic. Would highly recommend Brae Cottage.

The place is in a stunning location and host very helpfuo and that good we Re staying another week . David

A beautiful, spacious cottage. We spent a comfortable 4 days in the most idyllic setting, with the river Nairn at the end of the garden. The cottage has everything you could need, even including towels for the hot tub! The bedrooms are large and the beds extremely comfortable. The children loved the farm and looking at the animals. We will definitely return!

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 ❤️

We stayed here for a week with our grown children and their partners. Alasdair's cottage was perfect. It immediately felt cosy and comfortable. The games barn was a fun addition, and a great place to store our bikes when not in use. We got the hot tub going and once up to temperature it was easy enough to keep it ticking over for several evenings. The kitchen was well appointed, enough utensils, crockery and pans for us to cook each night. The cottage is next to open fields and farm land with quiet roads that lead to Cublin Forest. This was an amazing place to explore on foot and on bike, especially the peninsula that runs along the Findhorn Estuary and into the sea. Deserted beach and inquisitive seals. We also drove about an hour north to do some hiking at Glenmore in the Cairngorms. After our busy days adventuring it was always great to return to the cottage to relax and sleep soundly in the super size comfortable beds.

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.

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 wonderful stay at Bluefolds for my Dad's 70th. The view from the property is spectacular and ever changing, and you'd never get bored of that alone! Sue was a wonderful host, very welcoming and proactive. The accommodation has everything you could need for a stay there. Take your walking boots, make sure your pets are treated for ticks (as its on a sheep farm), and have an incredible time :)

We were so happy with our accommodation. It exceeded our expectations. Great location, beautiful views an all round fantastic place. Bea was a great host, very responsive and had left some helpful reviews of things to do and places to go. We loved it 🥰

We stayed here for two nights before our return to the states to relax from our three weeks in Scotland. Pictures do not do it justice. So close to restaurants and pubs in town and the beach. Small lovely town and everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Next time I will spend more time here!

We really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was adorable. Graham and Sharon were there for any questions we had and left us some tasty scones for our arrival. We would definitely stay again.

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.

It is a lovely cottage with so much character and charm. The kitchen is fully equipped to cater for groups of 5-6 people. The shower is good and hot and the views are stunning! We were 6 adults and having one bathroom was not ideal but we made it work and you should too! The perfect place to visit in hopeman

Loved staying in the cottage in Portsoy, it was a cold, but sunny with showers weekend so the arga warmed the kitchen/dinning room and the house. Great location with the historic harbour, coastal works, dinner at Spire and award winning ice cream shops in Portsoy and Cullen.

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!

We had a fantastic stay at Anne's cottage. nice and peaceful and out of the way of the hustle and bustle. We used the cottage as a hub to visit pretty much all of Scotland, many miles we used in this adventure.

Great stay, great location, everything we needed. We recommend a walk or two on the Speyside Way, Mash Tun in Aberlou is a great place to refuel, as is the Highlander right across from the cottage. And very nice of Michelle to provide a wee jug of whisky in the cottage

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. 😊

Beautiful, private and cosy cottage in a stunning location. Peaceful, and scenic! The wood burner was a bonus and was used every night. Clean, well maintained and well presented.

Wonderful cottage. Larger than imagined, very cozy and a wonderful setting in the large(!) garden. Jenny & David were excellent hosts: very friendly and informative. 100s of garden birds, including woodpeckers, and 4 or 5 red squirrels per day - right outside the kitchen window was mesmerising. Location was spot on. 10 min walk through the woodland to Grantown. 1 min to Spey river, 10 mins to old Spey bridge. Wider afield we travelled to Culloden, Balmoral, Aviemore - all in easy reach by car. Fantastic week was had - we will definitely be back as we only scratched the surface of what is on offer in the Cairngorms. Highly recommended!

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!
