  • "A very well equipped property with an excellent panoramic sea view!"

    The location is very convenient for local shops … and very quiet from a traffic perspective. Especially appreciated touches - ‘plumbed in’ showers (rather than stand alone electric showers), generously sized bath towels … and the ‘welcome basket’. One small suggestion - an electric towel rail for the downstairs en suite (listed in cottage description but we didn’t see it!)

    Thank you for the this, it is really appreciated. Good spot re the towel rail in the downstairs en suite. There’s a radiator but no towel rail. I’ll have the description edited. It was a pleasure hosting you and look forward to seeing you again. Best Gordon Property Owner

The property

Residing on the Scottish coast in the burgh town of Buckie, is this former fisherman’s home, Learig.

Wonderfully presented with nautical themes and homely interior, this delightful pet-friendly dwelling welcomes a family of six or groups of friends who are looking to discover the delights of this beautiful seaside town.

After taking in the breath-taking sea views that envelope the property, venture into your new home-from-home, uncovering an immaculate sitting room where you can kick your shoes off and sink into the plush harris tweed sofas, basking in the warmth of a woodburning stove; for light entertainment, switch on the Smart TV and relish a film day with your loved ones.

Move further into the property to find a light and airy kitchen/diner with spectacular views of the Moray Firth, equipped with all the necessary appliances and a dining table for six guests, this is the idyllic spot for the designated chef to prepare tasty meals which can be enjoyed over a bottle of fizz; for your convenience, there is also a utility with a washing machine and tumble dryer so you can keep your holiday wardrobe refreshed and enjoy beach days care-free.

After a sumptuous meal, head to one of three fantastic bedrooms, choose from either a ground-floor double hosting an en-suite bathroom, another double with en-suite shower room or a twin, with the added service of a family bathroom and cloakroom.

When you’re ready to explore, Buckie is a small fishing town boasting great wildlife and scenery which stretches over to Bow Fiddle Rock where you can bask in splendid vistas across the sealine, headlands and beyond; for the daredevils amongst your group, why not try your hand at a variety of watersports that are available here and keep an eye out for dolphins, ospreys and otters which can all be seen from the mouth of Spey Bay.

For golfers there are 6 golf courses within a 10-mile radius and if you enjoy a malt whisky you are only 20 miles from some of the most famous Speyside Distilleries many of whom have informative tours and visitor centres.

Venture to Fochabers for a relaxing day at Gordon Castle Estate where you can amble around one of the oldest and largest walled kitchen gardens in Britain, enjoy a bite to eat at the on-site café while younger members of your party play, or spend the afternoon at Scottish Wildlife Trust Spey Bay Wildlife Reserve, an area of exceptional interest with a vast array of landscape and wildlife.

Further on is Elgin, where Duffus Castle, Spynie Palace and Elgin Cathedral and Museum all await.

This tranquil coastal location offers much to see, ensuring a memorable retreat at Learig.

Where you’ll be staying

BUCKIE

Portessie 1 mile; Rathven 1.5 miles; Portknockie 5 miles; Cullen 7 miles.

Overlooking the beautiful Moray Firth, the burgh town of Buckie lies on either side of the Burn of Buckie, on the north east coast of Scotland. It has an array of shops and pubs and is a great coastal base from which to explore this wonderful part of Scotland. Regular boat trips leave from the harbours of Buckie and further along the coast to Macduff, which offer the chance to see bottlenose dolphins and an array of sea birds. To the west of the town, Spey Bay is the base for the Scottish Dolphin Centre and is also a fantastic place from which to spot dolphins and seals! From Buckie, stretching in both directions, the coastline is peppered with pretty fishing villages and wonderful beaches that are perfect to stroll along with your fish and chips. Pack a picnic, drive to the fabled Loch Ness and enjoy a stroll along its stunning shoreline, or explore the historic city of Elgin, a short drive away. There is so much to see and do from this wonderful little seaside town.
