Portsoy, The Sail Loft

Set on the coast near a small bay, with own parking area. Large modern communal kitchen and dining area, well equipped for self catering , clean and smart facility with separate sitting room. Ideal for singles or families as a base for a restful break. Disabled shower requires hooks to hang towel and clothes.
