Mr Ward

This was our second visit to Braehead cottage , it sits on top of a hill overlooking the Moray Firth and provides a lovely home from home feel.. The coastline is ruggedly beautiful , and is a photographers dream. Lots of places to see and lots of places to eat. Highly recommended.
Mrs Suliman
July 2018
The cottage was very homey and comfortable although the ensuite bath rooms was very small they are ok .. The onley thing that bothers us is the towels they were old and not soft. Mr smith is a very nice man and evey thing we need was in the house and more than enough for ower stay
Miss Carlisle
June 2018
Fabulous hot weather and swam in the sea in Portessie most days.. This was our 11th visit and as usual the cottage was spotlessly clean. Mr Smith greeted us on arrival, working tirelessly on the front garden, with new bedding plants and roses. We can't fault the accommodation or the area and we have already booked for next year.
Mrs Jefferson
June 2018
A very clean and comfortable cottage, with lovely views of the moray firth.. Our dog loved the grass out the back. This was our second visit and we hope to return.
Mr Williamson
May 2018
When we saw it was named Braehead Croft, we expected it to be in the country side, it is surrounded by houses.. It is the best house we have stayed in. Does need extra bedding provided. The entrance to the driveway can sometimes get blocked, by people parking across the entrance, when visiting the Hall next door. It has great views of the sea, but do not lean on the fence, as it is weak, as the property is at the top of a hill, and looks down on to the rooftops of other houses.
Mrs Stonier
May 2018
The location of the croft excellent and the croft itself was excellent everything you need is there ..
Mr Tuck
March 2018

The location and the view out to the Moray Firth is spectacular - we've been back 6 times to this cottage now - I can't recommend it highly enough - everything about it is excellent.
Mrs Carlisle

This is our seventh visit and the cottage is a real 'home from home'. Our Border Collie loved the garden and we loved the wonderful, ever changing views. Whatever the weather, we love it here and never want to leave.

Warm comfortable. Clean. Very well equipped. Helpful owner. Fantastic views Overlooks coast . Play park for children 100 yards away Probably better to have access to a vehicle .

Braehead Croft was perfect for our needs, cleanliness was second to none. Everything you could need, perfect location and the views were outstanding.
Mrs Roters

Ms Stevenson
September 2015
The cottage suited our needs very well, there was plenty of space for all of us and it was an ideal base for touring the Moray Firth. The sea views were wonderful and constantly changing.
Mrs Sager

The cottage had everything required for a super holiday. A really super holiday cottage, very well appointed with very helpful assistance from the owners if required. First class all round!
Mr Swan

Mr Brown

The house was very well equipped and everything worked as expected. The location and views were fantastic. The owners should be congratulated on providing such a good holiday property and we will definitely be back.
Mrs Boyd
April 2015
The cottage was very comfortable and so were the beds. It was well furnished and stocked. The people seemed to have thought of everything. The patio was a wee sun trap and it was lovely to sit out there. The views from the windows out to sea were lovely and we spent time watching boats with the binoculars, didn't see any dolphins which was disappointing but maybe next time.
Miss Carlisle
December 2014
Our forth visit but this time it was December, and not June so a very different sort of holiday! We arrived in the evening to find the lights were on and a warm welcome from the roaring fire and the heating was on. Couldn't fault anything, even the weather was quite kind to us! The red deer on the roadside on the return from Ullapool was stunning, amidst the snow. All in all, a lovely time was had by all!

Mrs Chalmers

The property was in excellent condition, comfortable and very clean. I would be keen to visit again and recommend it to others
Miss Le Roux
September 2014
Braehead Croft had more than sufficient space for everyone to still do separate things. Very clean and neat and the view was amazing.
Mrs Cameron
August 2014
The house was so well equipped/clean it really did feel like a home from home and this led to a very relaxing and peaceful holiday. The views from the house were stunning and the surrounding village was quiet. There is a lot of tourist information stored within the house which is very useful. We re-booked for next year before our holiday was finished as this house was a bit of a treasure find and I can imagine we will return many times to it. And as a bonus we did actually manage to see dolphins on one occasion from the garden despite the weather!

The spectacular views and the immaculate presentation of the property, as always. We had a very relaxing holiday. Everything worked as it should. Portessie is a great touring area with walks directly from the cottage. The dogs loved the garden and we loved sitting on the patio admiring the view.

Brilliant stay at braehead, the gardens are very large which was great for our border collie and there is a 180 degree sea view, we managed to spot dolphins several times.there are 2double end suit bedrooms and 1single bedroom and also a large bathroom our stay here has been excellent.
Mrs Shilton
May 2014
The cottage was wonderful with sea views from nearly every window. It was immaculate, every need was catered for, we really couldn't fault it. It was lovely and peaceful, and a real home from home. Situated where it is the cottage is in an ideal position to explore the many attractions this part of the world has to offer. We had such a good holiday and will definitely be back.
Mr Swan
May 2014
The location had stunning views and was very quiet. It was also central for travel around the coastal region. There were many extras in house to keep you entertained.
Mr Taylor
May 2014
The fantastic views from the back windows of the Moray Firth, just wonderful a holiday that will be long remembered for all the right reasons.
Viv S
May 2014
The photos of this cottage do not do it justice. It is just perfect, everything you could possibly want in a rental cottage. From just about every room there are sea views. There is a lovely patio area which has extensive views over the Moray Firth, as has the rest of the garden. The cottage is in a village and the village hall is next door; because of this we did expect that it may be a bit busy or noisy, but it wasn't at all. It also ideally situated to get to all of the many attractions in the area easily. All in all we had a really good holiday, and hope to return one day.
Mr McMillan
January 2014
It was like a home from home. Very comfortable, well equipped and cosy. A good and accurate website meant there were no unexpected surprises or disappointments. Owner was very helpful but unobtrusive, just leaving us to contact her if required.
Mrs Boswell

Very cosy cottage. Lovely location, right by sea .
Mr Watson
November 2013
The scenery from the cottage was excellent, with good views from all bedroom windows. The cottage lacked nothing, everything you needed was there. All in all a very good holiday cottage to stay in.
Miss Warnes
September 2013
A lovely cottage with fantastic views, my friends all want to stay there next time. We could not fault the property, or the weather, so everything was good.
Mrs Greig
August 2013
The cottage has great views, and is a very clean and beautifully decorated house it was a pleasure to come back to after walking on the beaches in the area. Sitting on the patio with a glass of wine overlooking the water was bliss.
Mr Smith
August 2013
A great base for exploring the North East coastline through to the Great Glen. The location is ideal for fishing, walks or even golf
Mrs Scott
August 2013
We love this area, we have been coming to it for nearly 40 years, and the cottage is perfect for our family, everyone has their own space. Also perfect for older generation all being on one level. The patio is lovely, beautiful views, and we manage to see the dolphins at least once from the cottage each time we come.
Guest
August 2013
This cottage had everything you would need on holiday and more. We loved it and do not want to tell too many people as it will make it too popular and unavailable.
Miss Carlisle
July 2013
Our second visit was not a disappointment. Everything was just as we remembered if not better. We had a fantastic break and didn't want to leave. The dogs loved the garden and the walks and beaches in the area. Can't wait to return next year.
Guest
June 2013
This property was by far the best we have ever stayed in.Superbly furnished,spotlessly clean. We could not fault it in any way. Panoramic sea views from most windows.It was a credit to the owner.If all holiday properties were as good as this, we would have no worries.
Mrs Greenwood
May 2013
Excellent accommodation situated in a most beautiful area.
Guest
May 2013
Fantastic location with superb view. Very homely, everything provided for a relaxed, comfortable holiday. Very helpful and thoughtful,owner, it was as though the cottage had been prepared for family rather than holiday makers and plenty of parking and ample ground for running around, and close to all ammenites. The first time we have stayed in a cottage where even cleaning materials were provided. Very close to Spey Bay where we watched dolphins, also Port Gordon fo seal spotting. I would highly recommend this cottage for comfort, location and ease of convenience. This cottage & location were fantastic in a rainy snowy March it was very cosy especially with the great fireplace and cosy atmosphere, I would imagine that in the summer it would be amazing. If you are looking an all year round getaway this is the place to be. This cottage has a wealth of warmth of its own, and I can see why guests return time after time.
Ms Napier-reynolds

Beautiful cottage, with superb views. Could not have been better equipped, everything and more that you could have expected. We will definitely return.

The location and the layout of the cottage were absolutely fantastic. I can honestly say that this is the first time ever we have hired a cottage and gone wanton for nothing, we will be back soon.
Mr Chambers
October 2012
The situation of the property was perfect and made a great base to tour from. We could not have wished for a better appointed kitchen. There were sufficient establishments for an evening meal within a short distance, which suited our needs perfectly.

Braehead Croft is outstanding, a home from home. This is our second visit to this property and we will definitely return again in the future - a credit to the owners!
Guest
December 2011
Fantastic location with superb view. Very homely, every last thing provided for a relaxed, comfortable holiday. Very friendly and helpful owners, also very thoughtful, it was as though the cottage had been prepared for family rather than holiday makers. The first time we have stayed in a cottage where even cleaning materials were provided. Watching seals from the patio was an added bonus. Very close to Spey Bay where we watched dolphins, also Port Gordon where we spent some time so close to the seals. I would highly recommend this cottage for comfort, location and friendly owners. Had a fabulous meal with family in the Old Coach House Hotel in Buckie. The staff were fantastic and the food was 5 star. This cottage & location were fantastic in a windy October, I would imagine that in the summer it would be idylic. If you are looking for a cold, minimalist cottage this one is not for you. This cottage has a wealth of warmth and heart, no wonder guests return time after time.
Mrs Trick
October 2011
We have stayed in numerous holiday cottages but Braehead Croft beat them all hands down! The view is spectacular. The owners should be proud of themselves. The highlight was spotting seals in the bay from the garden! I would highly recommend this cottage, it was fabulous.
Mr Batchelor
September 2011
We thought the Croft was one of the best properties we have stayed at in over 50 years of self catering. Everything was perfect. We found the owner very pleasant and helpful and we enjoyed the walking.
Mrs Harrison
September 2011
It was probably the best equipped holiday home we have ever rented. The owner was very helpful and informative.
Ms Farmer
September 2011
Braehead Croft was better than we had expected,a fabulous place to relax.
Guest
September 2011
Braehead Croft is the ideal location for exploring the multitude of riches that the area provides. If its spotting Dolphins or Seals the nearby coast provides ample opportunity or exploring the multitude of small fishing villages - Portsoy and its icecream was a particular favourite. Local history is well catered for with numerous castles or for those who enjoy a dram Portessie is close to the Whisky Trail.If its the excitement of our airforce then Kinloss & Lossiemouth are close by. But if you just want to look out over the Moray Firth then Braecroft is in the perfect location and with every comfort provided.
Guest
September 2011
We couldn't fault the cottage on any front and the views from the house and garden were stunning. The town has everything you need without travelling further afield. The countryside around is beautiful and steeped in history and the beaches on the east coast are always worth a visit. Even the whisky trail is worth doing just for the scenery. The local people couldn't be more friendly. In fact there was everything you could wish for in one package.
Mrs Tennant
August 2011
The well-appointed cottage had great views over the sea. Good location and very central for travelling.
Mrs O'Toole
August 2011
The owners have put so much tlc into Braehead Croft. It lacks for absolutely nothing. The setting is idyllic and a perfect holiday home.
Guest
August 2011
The owner was there to greet us to this lovely cottage. Everything was first class, the view was fabulous we even had performing dolphins one evening at sunset. We hope to return and most certainly would recommend Braehead croft, home away from home.
Mr Spiers
July 2011
Braecroft is the perfect base for exploring the Morray Firth coastline which is spectacular with its seals and dolphins. The scenery in the surrounding countryside is also breathtaking and we really enjoyed that too. The added bonus of Jaffa Cake ice cream in Portsoy made things perfect.
Mrs Ringwood
July 2011
Wonderful views and many good places to visit. Cottage exceeded our expectations.
Mr Simpson
July 2011
The location of the cottage is excellent and the property is just perfect for a family of 4 - plenty of space and bathrooms.

Mr Winters
February 2011
The welcome and the cottage were both excellent. We had more than enough space and freedom in the cottage. It was close to all amenities you could need but commanded a quite breathtaking view of the Moray Firth - and plenty of space for dolphins had they bothered to pop round.
Mrs Price
November 2010
Excellent property, everything provided. No need to bring anything apart from clothes! 'The Highlander' in Buckie provides excellent meals.

this accommodation is fantastic for a family. We have been a couple of times in summer and winter and the place is lovely. The area is ideal for visiting other areas and the people are so friendly. Its great that there are 3 bathrooms and plenty of room for privacy. would recommend to anyone.
Angie
December 2009
Directions were excellent and we found the cottage exactly as described. The owners were very helpful and provided everything you could possibly need and more. The croft is spacious, clean and comfortable, with plenty of room for 5 adults. The property is in a beautiful location, with fabulous sea views from the lounge and bedrooms, and a lovely patio area and garden to sit out in and enjoy. We spotted a pod of dolphins following a boat, and seals, all from the garden ! There are plenty of shops, supermarkets,pubs and take away facilities within walking distance or a short drive away. There are plenty of places to visit. Elgin, Lossiemouth,Inverness are favourites of ours, and the Baxters Experience is a must ! We loved the freedom the property gave us, and have become regular visitors, driving 1500 miles on our last trip! This cottage is a rare gem . I want to live there !

The cottage was one of the best we have stayed in. Well equipped, clean tidy. We saw dolphins along the coast.
Mr Atkinson
October 2009
The accommodation was 5 star, best we have stayed in with yourselves. The view out sea is tremendous with dolphins passing about 500 meters out to sea, the owners had even supplied binoculars for their guests to watch them and to see the fishing boats at work was fantastic.

Braehead Croft is a fabulous homely cottage with outstanding views over the Moray Firth. It is close to a variety of shops and local amenities and is well placed for touring around the Highlands of beautiful Scotland. We loved every minute of our stay and will certainly be back.
Mrs Hunt
May 2009
Braehead is a fabulous cottage and is really one of the best we have stayed in. This was our second visit and it was just as enjoyable as last year. The views from all the windows over the Bay are fantastic and the sunsets something to behold. Will definitely be going back again and again and again.

The house was in a lovely position. The owners were helpful above and beyond what we had a right to expect. Everything was perfect - thank you.
Mr Bissett
October 2008
The view from the cottage is breathtaking. We saw dolphins and seals from the garden of the cottage. The cottage itself is a gem! We have stayed in loads of self-catering cottages and this one is by far the best. It is immaculate and is well stocked with everything you could need and more! This was our second visit this year and we can't wait to go back to our home from home.
Miss Ward
September 2008
We wanted a relaxing break and that's exactly what we had. The cottage is beautiful with great views. It was like a home from home. We saw the dolphins from the cottage windows!

Ms Fishwick
June 2008
Braehead Croft was fabulous and a real credit to the owners. It has fabulous views across the bay. We spotted a group of seals with their young. The house was very child friendly and extremely well kept. The Croft was delightful, a real home from home. Wished it belonged to us! It was a sad day on Saturday when we had to leave. Many thanks for a wonderful break. We hope to return sometime soon.
Mrs Kynoch
May 2008
The great welcome we got from the owners, especially as we turned up earlier than we should have! The cleanliness and spaciousness and warmth of the house and its beautiful views. The supplies that were available for our use.
Mrs Ridley
May 2008
Wonderful. We did a 200 mile round trip see the dolphins but not a glimpse of one. We came back to Braehead Croft, were having a cup of tea on the patio and, in the bay right in front of our eyes, there were 4 of them. A wonderful sight! A wonderful wonderful holiday had by all! Well done!
Mrs Caldwell
February 2008
This is our second visit to Braehaed Croft. The property is ideally situated for a quiet, relaxing holiday. The position overlooking the bay is fantastic. The cottage itself is perfect for two families and we will be back in the near future.

This property was extremely comfortable, a home from home. We could not fault it in any way. The owner met us on arrival and was most helpful. The views from the rear of the property were just stunning. A very relaxing holiday, we will be back next year!

This property was immaculate, a real home from home. It was the perfect base from which to explore the Moray coastline. A mass of information was available in the premises which meant we were able to plan our days in advance. The absolute highlight of the holiday was going on a boat trip from Buckie Harbour and seeing the resident dolphins in their natural habitat and again from the beach at Spey Bay.

This was probably the cleanest, best equipped cottage we have ever stayed in. The sea views from all the rooms at the back were outstanding. We were so happy and comfortable here that we wished we had booked for another week. The parking was very easy. The surrounding area has many interesting towns and coastal villages.

The cottage was in a wonderful position overlooking the sea. Just wished we lived nearer so we could visit more often.
