Solway Cottage Findhorn
Originally an 18th-century fisherman’s home, Solway Cottage Findhorn has been extensively modernised and updated while still retaining its original charm. It is now a two bedroomed property that can comfortably accommodate four guests. The modern kitchen/dining room is well-equipped and has plenty of worktop and cupboard storage. The cosy living room has a traditional Tetrad Harris Tweed sofa and two armchairs; the wood burner is easy to operate and is set ready to light on your arrival. There is no TV in the cottage; instead there is a selection of games and a DVD player, with a choice of DVD’s to suit most tastes. The cottage has good broadband Wi-Fi so you can stream your favourite shows to your own device if you wish. The larger bedroom has two twin beds that can be joined to make a super king bed if required, whilst the smaller bedroom has a double bed with a super comfortable Dreamcatcher mattress. The main bathroom has underfloor heating with a large centre tap bath and an electric shower. The shower room has a large walk-in shower and a demisting mirror. The laundry area has a combined washer/dryer and an in-built fold-down ironing table. Outside, the garden has seating and a dining bench, and the garden shed houses a rotary drier, a wind break, camping chairs and boogie boards. There is a private parking space in front of the cottage, accessible from the main road. There are also excellent public transport links, with regular bus services to Forres and Elgin, both of which have railway stations. Inverness airport is less than an hour away.
The cottage is close to the village shop and an award-winning artisan bakery, and only a 2-minute walk to the waterfront local pub. There are two other bar/restaurants in the village to choose from, and a variety of takeaway options that will deliver. Solway Cottage sits in the heart of the beautiful and historic village of Findhorn, once a thriving fishing community. Situated on Scotland’s beautiful Moray Coast, the area has stunning beaches and beautiful countryside all within walking distance. The village sits on a peninsula, with Findhorn Bay to the west and the Moray Firth to the north; and has a gorgeous 4-mile long sandy beach. Seals are permanent residents at the mouth of the Findhorn Bay, and the celebrated Moray Firth dolphins can be often be seen leaping in the nearby waters. The local marina runs regular dolphin watching tours, and rents out paddle boards, kayaks and dinghies as well. There are numerous walking and cycling paths, including the 38km Dava Way, and excellent golf courses nearby. And if you fancy a dram, Moray is in the heart of Speyside whisky country, with a large choice of distilleries to visit.
