...Our guests said...

"...our second visit to Crovie Cottage, and just as enjoyable as the first".

"We've loved our stay here - lots to see and do - enjoyed the Glenfiddich Distillery and cooperage".

"..we enjoyed Cullen Skink in several places, including Cullen!"

"...more and more reluctant to venture away from Crovie, preferring to sit in front of the cottage and watch the changing seascape and tides, the coming & going of fishing boats, and the glorious sunsets".

About the area:

Situated on the Moray Coast, Crovie is a scenic conservation village built on a remarkably narrow ledge between the base of the cliffs forming the east side of Gamrie Bay and the sea. The village comprises around 50 fishing cottages, most of which date back 150 years or more, and is one of the best preserved fishing villages in Europe. There is a pebble beach to the west end of the winding path leading to the next village, Gardenstown, one mile away. Here there is a 17th-century inn, two restaurants and a coffee shop, and a beautiful sheltered beach. The area also has excellent golfing opportunities nearby with over 50 courses in total. Aquarium nearby.
