Elisabeth Cottage Coastal Cottage

Cottage Description

Located on the Moray Firth and facing MacDuff across the River Deveron estuary, Banff is the location of Elisabeth Cottage, a most pleasant cottage occupying a nice position in a residential area. Suitable for five people by way of the three bedrooms, the cottage is just a few minutes walk from the harbour, and well placed to discover and explore the delightful countryside.

Banff has a rich history and in view of its position, it is probably no surprise that its first castle was built to repel the marauding Vikings. It has always traded well despite not having a proper harbour until 1775. There is a golf course, a modern marina serving fishing and leisure craft and Duff House, a National Trust property.

The three bedrooms are offered as a double, a twin and a single, and with full gas fired central heating, you can consider staying here whatever the time of year.
