This was a lovely house with all you could need. Location was great very close to shops, takeaway restaurants and fantastic ice cream shop. Close drive away from lovely beaches and other coastal fishing villages. Lovely walks and cycle routes close to property, parking not a problem. Lovely place to relax, chill and explore the countryside.

This was an amazing house to stay in with everything we could need and more. There is so much space in the house which does not come across in the pictures. The kitchen is so well equipped it was like being at home. The hot tub is well maintained daily and not overlooked from neighbouring properties and the sauna was a great way to warm up after a Read moredook. The location although on a road is within easy distance of shops and has views over the sea. I would highly recommend this house for a break. Hide

Sheila and Johns place is the best Christmas stay weve had! The house was immaculate, easy to find via lockbox, and Sheilas check-in text was so thoughtful. We loved the shortbread, clementines, and festive decor in every room. The hot tub was a toasty 39.5 and the sauna was great once we found the manual! The kitchen was perfect for 4 of us and 2 Read moredogs, featuring a great Rangemaster and plenty of kit. Fantastic hiking nearby up the Bin of Cullen. We cant wait to come back. Thank you! Hide

A very spacious, well-equipped house situated in a favourable location for visiting the towns and villages of the Moray Coast and further afield. Buckie is a very clean and friendly town and highly recommend visiting the nearby villages and historic harbours.

Wonderful homely home. But the hosts are what make this place so fantastic. They went above and beyond for me when I had a major car emergency. So thank you so much for that. The house and the facilities they offer are extra- just the place to go to relax and unwind! Fabulous.

Just back after a fantastic stay at Westlea. The house is so homely, very spacious and comfortable.and has everything you need. The sauna & hot tub are amazing, and really add that extra touch for a relaxing break. The games room was great to hang out in, there really is something for everyone to do. Location is great, shops are close by and the MoRead moreray coast too, which has some fabulous little villages and lovely beaches. We would definitely recommend staying at Westlea. Hide
