The cottage itself is deceptively spacious.

Also on the ground floor there is a double bedroom with en-suite and the large modern dining kitchen where you will find a host of modern equipment including a dishwasher and coffee machine.

Swim and enjoy water sports in the bay, investigate the site of Europe’s largest Pictish fort, watch the annual Burning of the Clavie or dine in an award-winning restaurant, all within a couple of minutes’ walk. Enjoy a stroll along the coastal path to neighbouring Hopeman or along the 7 miles of golden sands to Findhorn. If you are lucky, you will spot the famous Moray bottlenose dolphins or meet seals in the harbour.Further afield, explore the historic city of Elgin or follow the Spey Valley Malt Whiskey trail. For outdoor enthusiasts Aviemore and the Cairngorms are only an hour away while golfers are spoilt for choice with many world class courses within easy reach. Emerald Cottage is the perfect retreat to return to after your busy day, or to simply enjoy relaxing in wonderful surroundings.

We had an amazing 8 night stay in February, the cottage has everything you need for a home from home holiday. We used this week to explore the local area, see friends and really get a feel for the village and local towns. The coast line is just beautiful.

We had two lovely weeks at Emerald Cottage - ‘it does exactly what it says on the tin’.
We had two lovely weeks at Emerald Cottage - ‘it does exactly what it says on the tin’. Well appointed, nicely furnished and with all that you will need for a relaxed and comfortable holiday. It’s superbly situated close to a stunning beach (7 miles long!) with lots of lovely places to visit and things to do close by. Des and Catherine were charming and attentive hosts. We benefitted from amazing weather for mid September - 25degrees and clear blue skies, but had a few ‘wild’ and very windy days at the start which was fun and atmospheric. It was fabulous and we’d certainly go back.
