Ellie-Jo Cottage

Ellie-Jo Cottage is a charming seaside cottage situated in the popular Moray Firth village of Gardenstown.

The cottage is only yards from the seafront, tucked down a quiet alley with partial sea-views. Inside, the well-appointed sitting room has a log fire and comfortably seats four. The living room leads through to a fully fitted kitchen with breakfast area. Upstairs can be found the two comfy bedrooms - a double with sea views and a twin.

The bathroom is equipped with an electric shower over bath, and is located under the stairs. Please note that due to its placement in the house, the shower has limited headroom.

Outside to the rear and up seven steps is the seated terrace area with views over the bay and cliffs - an ideal place to relax and soak up the tranquil atmosphere around this charming cottage. It is only a short walk to the traditional harbour and the wide expanse of beach and cliffs. In the village, guests will find a charming collection of galleries, craft workshops, shops, a restaurant and a tea room.

An area of Aberdeenshire, in the north east of Scotland, encompassing spectacular country landscapes and the picturesque coastal villages of Gardenstown and Crovie. Built into the old red sandstone cliffs the villages have a quaint atmosphere. From the lovely harbour and beaches you can look out over the Moray Firth and catch a glimpse of the dolphins that often swim in the bay or experience one of the stunning sunsets. Gardenstown & Crovie are located on the Moray First Coastline in the North East of Scotland. This coastline was voted one of the best in the world by National Geographic tourism experts. The village has good facilities such as a pub by the harbour, and sights such as a nice beach, an 11th century chapel nearby and a footpath along the cliffs to Crathie. The harbour itself is well maintained with recent pontoons and around 80 boats berthed there during the summer. It is a good centre for exploring the area, and a local bus service provides links to Macduff and Banff.

There is roadside parking, plus two free car parks one minute's walk away. Please note that the property is accessed via seven steps with no hand rail and several steep stairs without a rail to rear seating area.

This property has an EPC rating of D. For bookings and more information please contact Finest Retreats.
