The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews noting it as spotless and well-maintained. The fresh bed linen and clean facilities contribute to the positive feedback.
The location is frequently commended for its convenience and scenic surroundings. The proximity to the harbour, beaches, and local shops, as well as the availability of good walks, make it a desirable spot.
Comfort is a standout feature, with guests consistently satisfied with the comfortable beds and cosy living space. The well-furnished rooms and effective heating system add to the overall comfort of the cottage.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and good bathroom facilities. However, some guests mention dated appliances and issues with plumbing and windows, which slightly lower the score.
While the reviews reflect a well-stocked and equipped cottage, there are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the owners. Therefore, a score cannot be given for this category.
About this property
Centrally situated in the popular coastal village of Portknockie, this smart fisherman's cottage is the perfect venue for a great holiday. With lots of space and oozing comfort and style, it is ideal for a family or group of friends who will simply love the close proximity to the sea and the fabulous scenery. There are three tastefully presented bedrooms with crisp white bed linen, one of which is on the ground floor. The open plan living area has a dining area where guests will enjoy sharing meals and stories around the massive table before relaxing on the comfortable sofas at the end of an active day. The well-equipped kitchen ensures that cooking these meals is an easy task. On warmer days the private rear garden and patio will be appreciated as a place to enjoy a morning coffee or for dining alfresco. Just a few steps away is the fabulous Moray Firth coast with its rocky cliffs, golden sands and numerous pretty little fishing villages dotted along its coastline. From Portknockie visitors can take an easy walk along the shoreline into the larger village of Cullen with its golden sands and perhaps enjoy lunch out before retracing their steps home. A holiday in Portknockie means that not only can you explore the wonderful coastline and watch the famous dolphins as they jump past, but it is ideally located to venture inland and perhaps pick up the famous Malt Whisky Trail or even visit the city of Aberdeen to the east and Inverness to the west. The north east coast of Scotland is a truly perfect holiday destination with lovely scenery and fabulous wildlife and this charming cottage is a real home from home. EPC Rating: Band D

This is my third visit to Grace Cottage, it is the perfect base for visiting the surrounding area. The cottage is well equipped, and the new cooker is very easy to use. Already looking forward to my next visit.

Very comfortable and the heating is great in the cold weather! everything you could wish for and more. Bed very comfortable, lovely pillows and duvet, big bathroom with separate shower, downstairs loo also helps. Well equipped kitchen, lovely outdoor space, we are going again in September, can't recommend this cottage enough, it is brilliant.

Well furnished and equipped, clean and cosy. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We did encounter an issue early on but this was quickly resolved by the owner at no inconvenience to ourselves.
