Located right on the harbor with the ability to watch harbor activities 24/7. Beautifully updated this 3 bedroom, 3 bath home was quiet and met all of our needs. Beds and living room furniture were comfortable and well maintained.
Perfectly decorated, laid out and equipped. The views across the Harbour can't be beat. For us Americans, leaving town for groceries and meals wasn't a hassle - so used to driving.
Lovely town and if we were a larger group could have happily prepared all meals there.
Location is second to none. Burghead is a super village but apart from the co op and the superb Bothy Bistro there are no coffee shops or pubs etc which would have been nice. Would go again in a flash tho!
The location of this wonderful apartment was perfect. We were able to walk right outside our door and watch two beautiful sunsets. We had fun watching the fishing boats come and go. My son had fun beachcombing too.
The apartment itself was larger than expected. It is beautifully maintained, lovely and bright and overall very comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything you would ever need for cooking and eating in. The beds were really comfortable.
We would definitely stay again if given the opportunity.

About the host
Hosted by Ruth Scott
Hailing from The Broch (as Burghead is known to locals) I am delighted to be able to offer other people the chance to explore Burghead and see what the area has to offer.
Why they chose this property
We always loved Telford House and it's prominent position in Burghead Harbour. When the booking for The Millie were far better than expected and one of the three bedroom apartments was for sale......
What makes this property unique
We LOVE The Bessie. The Millie maybe has the sauna and the jacuzzi bath with TV, but looking out over the harbour and Moray Firth from The Bessie takes some beating!
