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. ## Property amenities ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Free toiletries - Shower ### Outdoor areas - Terrace ### Laundry - Laundry facilities ### Pets - Service animals only (pets not allowed) - Food and water bowls ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 2 steps to reach entrance - Single level property - Thin carpet in public areas - Smoking not allowed ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Local artist showcase - Recycling ## Similar properties ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96170000/96169800/96169760/a6189d8c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pretty cottage on Moray coast: walks & whisky Buckie - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor Space 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-05&endDate=2026-02-06&selected=96169760&PinnedHotelID=96169760&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fishing](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95630000/95623200/95623126/57880daa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 2 bedroom accommodation in Buckie Buckie - Kitchen - Washer - Pet friendly - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-05&endDate=2026-02-06&selected=95623126&PinnedHotelID=95623126&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/119000000/118740000/118735500/118735488/829499bf.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Garden Cottage With Hot Tub, Pet Friendly!
