What our customers say about their holidays

• David - Verified booking

  The house has been furnished with an eye to detail and provides everything a holidaymaker could wish.

  It is very comfortable, plenty of space, and has a welcoming feel. The bay and beach are beautiful and the coastal paths to both Buckie and Cullen are worth walking. Portknockie is an excellent base from which to tour the area. It is within easy reach of Elgin, the nearest big town, as well as the picturesque villages along the Moray coastline. The local fish and chip shop deserves its award winning status. There are two pubs in the village, both within a minute’s walk of the cottage, but only one does food. Previous occupants of the cottage have praised the Victoria Hotel but we found it both unfriendly and rude. The Seafield Inn next door is basic but friendly. On the road to Cullen, the Cullen Bay Hotel provided good food and an excellent place from which to view the dolphins frolicking in the bay (the hotel provides binoculars!). Cullen also has an Indian and a Chinese takeaway, useful at the end of a full sightseeing day. We would highly recommend the cottage.

  We had a wonderful time in Portknockie and found Mark and Ruth so helpful and considerate.

  They went to great lengths to make sure they put everything in place for our grandson, travel cot, bath, high chair, stair gates (upstairs and downstairs), and a fire guard as well, so amazing and thoughtful. There was a beautiful vase of fresh flowers and a welcome basket waiting for us when we arrived. The cottage had such wonderful words of wisdom all about, which helped us to ponder and think more about relaxing and having fun and just taking time to chill out and enjoy every moment. We are so grateful for their kindness and sharing their cottage which was only a few streets away from my sister and her family, as we were there for my niece's wedding. Thank you so much for everything Mark and Ruth. So wonderful to meet you both and enjoy your cottage in a wonderful part of the world. Take good care and we hope to return again Very best wishes Joan and Donal Murphyt

  We had a fantastic week away at Slater's cottage.

  We enjoyed exploring the area and the weather was very good to us. The cottage was the best we've ever stayed in. It had absolutely everything we needed. The extra benefits of a log burner, coffee machine and extra toys for the boys to amuse themselves with was incredible, including a Playstation and games. The cottage was cosy, beds were very comfy and there was loads of hot water for showers. The boys loved counting the lovehearts in the house. It's the wee things that matter most. The chippy is genuinely the best we've ever had. It was hard work tearing ourselves away from the cosy and comfy cottage of a morning but Moray and Aberdeenshire are worth exploring. Amazing beaches and lovely villages to explore. Plenty of ice-cream shops too. We'd love to visit again soon. We thoroughly enjoyed our break. Many thanks to the owner, Mark who couldn't have been more accommodating.

  The cottage was very nice indeed and had every we needed.

  When we arrived there was a nice little welcome basket along with bread milk and butter in the fridge. If there was one thing I would like to bring to your attention is the fact that there is no phone reception you have to go up the road to get any reception. We felt like there could have been perhaps an out going phone (payable) for emergencies. This is typical to this area and not just this cottage we know as we have been coming here for 17 years! There were medical G.P and health centre telephone numbers which unfortunately we had to access this year due to husband taking very unwell. Myself son-in-law had to drive us 5 miles to Health Centre as this was quicker than trying for a reception. All of us enjoyed our stay and we hope to return next year.

  Slaters cottage is amazing!

  ! Great position on a quiet road with parking outside. As you enter it is beautifully clean and well presented. The bedrooms were excellent with good beds and having a downstairs bedroom with en-suite was also brilliant. The kitchen was well equipped and the log burner was lovely to sit by at night. We used the Chinese and that was fantastic and the chip shop was also excellent. (Best to book both by phone). We had a meal with the dogs in Cullen at The Royal Oak which was also amazing and a reasonable price. It had a secure yard for our little Yorkshire Terrier dogs which was great! All of the locals were very welcoming and there are brilliant walks and a lovely harbour. We can overstate how brilliant our 4 night stay was! Thank you so much
