Accommodation
Description
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 Crovie. 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.

The cottage is clean and modern with a lovely log burning stove Paul the owner was brilliant- easy to get hold of and provided all the info we needed The cottage is a stones throw from the sea and a very short walk into Gardenstown, that has a lovely local pub (The Garden Arms) where we were made to feel extremely welcome by the owners - so much so we became regulars lol There is a lovely little cafe (Eli’s) just off the harbour - well worth a visit Great place to use as a base to explore the Aberdeenshire area (part of the north coast 500) Would highly recommend and we will be back in the future |

The storage heaters took a bit of getting used to and need a full night to charge before heating. But there is a wood fire in the living room until the heaters kick in the next day.

Set back from seafront up a few steps between the houses. Nicely decorated and kitchen had all we needed , though the table might be a bit of a squeeze for 4 people. Nice bedrooms though the very small double bed was too tiny for us and we ended up pushing the two singles together instead. Likewise the shower is not suitable for tall menwomen. Other than the above, it was warm and cosy, clean and relaxing and we had a great time!

We got very lucky with the weather, only one morning of rain. The village is a lovely unspoilt place, nice little beach one end and a vibrant harbour the other. The cottage is set back by one row of other cottages from the sea front so only 10mso from the wall which is a nice place to sit with a coffee and look out across the beautiful bay. The cottage is good value for what it provides. It’s relatively basic but perfectly comfortable and functional as a base for a great holiday. Would definitely recommend going.

Tolle Unterkunft für ein paar Tage Ruhe am Meer. Gardenstown und Crovie sind sehr schön gelegen. Wunderschöne Sonnenuntergänge. Dir Unterkunft bietet alles was man braucht. Es gibt einen öffentlichen Parkplatz, der nicht weit weg ist. Die Strasse zur Unterkunft ist schmal, lässt sich aber gut mit einem Kombi befahren, habe auch Leute gesehen, die mit den VW Kastenwagen durch sind.

I booked to stay at the cottage for a week and was very pleasantly surprised. The cottage was immaculate and there was a welcome pack upon arrival. The sea view was reasonable from all of the seats in the sitting room. Looking at previous reviews, it is clear that the cleanliness issues have been attended to. The area is beautiful and we were even lucky enough to see the northern lights from the front of the cottage. Will definitely be returning.

Thanks so much for your feedback. We appreciate the parking can be difficult for some but do hope this wouldn't put you off coming back during quieter months.
