About this property

Fisherman's Cottage In Tranquil Highland Village Overlooking The Sea

Bright Water Cottage is located in the small coastal village of Rockfield (near the larger village of Portmahomack) right on the shore of the Moray Firth itself, literally within touching distance of the sea! A large sunny porch enables comfortable dining for up to 6 people with uninterrupted ocean views. There is private parking directly outside the front of the cottage for up to 3 cars. A small, private seaside front garden affords uninterrupted views across the Moray Firth, with a BBQ and picnic table for al fresco dining, plus an additional garden bench. Centrally heated and double glazed throughout with a small wood burning stove in the front room, the cottage provides a cosy retreat. The modern kitchen is equipped with an 8 ring gas hob, double oven, large upright fridge freezer, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and LCD TV. There is also a small breakfast bar with additional seating for 3. There is a downstairs WC adjacent to the dining porch. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, one with a Queensize bed and the other with two good size single beds, large enough for adults. Both upstairs bedrooms have sea views, as does the family bathroom which has an oversized bath, shower, WC and large heated towel rack. The upstairs bedrooms have LCD TVs. The downstairs bedroom has a Queensize bed. Flooring is solid wood throughout apart from the kitchen and porch areas which are tiled. There is complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the entire cottage. To the rear is a sunny garden, ideal for general relaxing. Depending on the time of year, bird and wildlife abounds. The dolphins are regularly seen all year round patrolling up and down the Moray Firth and occasionally, if you are eagle eyed, an otter or two!

Perfect
We wanted a base to explore the Highlands and travel the NC500, to come back to this property every evening to relax and enjoy the view, and then wake up to it was perfect for us. Richard was helpful before we arrived and gave us a warm welcome on arrival along with his family. They were on hand if we had any questions or needed anything but were not intrusive of our space. It was lovely to have some treats in the kitchen on arrival, and the kitchen is probably the best-stocked of any property we've stayed in! The living room had books, games, puzzles, and DVDs to keep entertained if you could tear yourself away from the beautiful view of the water, the different birds and the odd dolphin or two. The beds were comfortable with a firm mattress and good linen, and ample towels with good pressure in the shower. The floor boards were a bit creaky but didn't impact our getting a good night's rest. The property was clean and tidy but could do with a deep clean e.g. silicone in the shower, skirting boards, washing machine, and radiators. Wifi isn't the fastest but good for browsing when we needed to plan the following day's route and stream shows on the TV in the living room. It was hard to leave, it's clear thought has been put into the property to make it a comfortable stay for guests. We could easily have stayed longer and hopefully one day we will be able to return :) many thanks for a perfect stay!

Tranquil retreat at quaint seaside location
Property was gorgeous, well-proportioned and spacious. Offers decent size for a large family. Kitchen equipped to high standard - it was a delight cooking in there! Owners were helpful and welcoming.

Comfort by the Sea
We spent a few days hiking up in the Tain area. So it was absolutely wonderful to come ‘home’ to this delightfully comfortable cottage. Dickie and Suzanne have set this house well...it has everything you’d need including tea, coffee, biscuits and milk!!! Looking for a tranquil break then this is the place to be in!
