Comfortable and cosy traditional cottage wtih a stunning garden and views

Driftwood Cottage is a beautifully presented (but a little quirky!) seaside retreat in Portsoy, now a favourite with many returning guests since opening in 2019. The cottage offers cosy ground-floor living with a king bedroom, shower room, lounge and kitchen. Upstairs, a twin room and small play area with low ceilings suit younger children although there are steep stairs to access this. Guests enjoy fast Wi-Fi and dogs are warmly welcomed. One of Driftwood’s highlights is its tiered garden, rising behind the cottage with three terraces, a barbecue area, pond, and a summer house from which you can enjoy views over the historic rooftops to the sea. Portsoy is a friendly coastal town centred on its 17th-century harbour and renowned for its boat festival, coastal walks, wildlife, and award-winning ice cream. Explore beaches, cliff paths and heritage sites along the beautiful Banffshire coast, often cited for its natural beauty and wildlife.

  • Whisky isn't whisky without barrels. The Speyside Cooperage has over 500,000 barrels waiting to be refit for use in the whisky industry. Their visitors centre offers tours to see how this process is done by hand.

  • Much like their scotch, the new visitor center at the Macallan Estate is the perfect blend of new, old, and natural. I highly recommend the tour and tasting.
