The charming fishing village of Findochty, which dates back to the 1400s, is on the border of Crooked Haven, a natural port. Nowadays, recreational sailors prefer Findochty to fishermen, and fishing boats have relocated down the coast to Buckie. Long Head features a little sheltered beach and a popular tavern on the harbour front in Findochty. Why not pay a visit to Cullen, a charming village nestled beneath majestic railway viaducts and known for its hearty smoked haddock and potato soup, or play a round of golf at the Cullen or Strathlene golf courses? Take a delightful drive to Elgin, a bustling town with an imposing church, museums, and the captivating Biblical Gardens. With the entire Moray Coast to explore, including the Whisky Trail, a plethora of historic buildings and gardens, gleaming golden sands, and welcoming inns, this is an excellent location from which to discover Scotland's charming north east coast.

    This is only a VERY personal the internet was too slow for us, we run an internet business and have to be able to check in every day (so really don't get an actually holiday) , but for the majority of people this would not be an issue. Would totally recommend Rockside to our family and friends as we know fast internet is not a problem for them.

  • Alex

    Its setting overlooking the Moray Firth is mesmerising and to be enjoyed fully from the picture window in the upstairs sitting room no matter what the weather outside. The bedrooms are tasteful and offer every comfort and the availability of 4 bathrooms (2 ensuite) are great for a diverse family group. Every consideration has been given to the needs of the client and provides a home from home from the moment you enter. A warm greeting from John and Natalie along with a good welcome pack starts the holiday well and it is reassuring that as hosts they are next door should any problem arise but yet remain very much in the background leaving you to enjoy your holiday undisturbed. To complete the perfect holiday, this property is well positioned for exploring not only the beautiful coastal villages of the Moray Firth but also the wider rural villages of Aberdeenshire and further afield.
