Banff Cottage | Sandend Cottage - in the picturesque 'get away from it all' fishing hamlet

3 Bedroom Cottage in Banff, Aberdeenshire

Sandend has a bit of a reputation locally as one of the best beaches around! A wide expanse of sand, backed by dunes and crossed by 2 burns (which provide great waterwork and dam opportunities!), home to Suds Surf School if you want to get active, and backed by Glenglassaugh Distillery - you can walk home along the beach after your tour and dram of the 'water of life'!
This part of the North East of Scotland lends itself to day trips, exploring the many beautiful fishing villages perched on hill tops or crouched precariously at the water's edge; following the Castle trail and discovering why this area has been so important across centuries of turbulent history; partaking in a dram along the Whisky Trail or perhaps getting close to the dolphins and other wildlife along the Moray Firth with a boat trip. Royal Deeside, the Cairngorm National Park and even Inverness and Loch Ness are all easily accessible. Discover the big skies and wide horizons, the fresh clear air and the quality of the light. In summer the days are near endless! In winter, nights are deep and long and starry, and on occasion spectacularly lit by the Northern Lights!
Sandend cottage has stunning views over the wide sandy beach from the kitchen, lounge and two front bedrooms - or over the water if the tide is in! The elevated garden terrace and summer house, again with stunning views, are ideal for outdoor entertaining and barbeques. The enclosed garden and back utility/’wet’ area, along with fantastic coastal walks, makes this an ideal cottage for families, dog owners, walkers and surfers.
The cottage has 3 bedrooms, with the king size double and twin bedroom at the front of the house, where you can be lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves on the beach just beyond. The single bedroom at the back is incredibly quiet, and has access to the terraced garden.
What better way to start the day than taking your morning cuppa out to the bench on the rockery and watch the beach slowly come to life.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.
