We stayed at Jock McMuffin in June 2024 and had a really lovely stay.

We stayed at Jock McMuffin in June 2024 and had a really lovely stay. The cottage is light and bright, and has lots of great little touches like books and games, and binoculars. The beds are really comfortable, and linen and towels spotlessly clean. The overall cleanliness of the property was excellent throughout. Lots of space for storage in the kitchen, and the cottage is really well equipped. Off-road parking is a bonus too.The location of this cottage in the village of Portknockie is good, being close to the coastal paths, great for exploring further afield to nearby Findochty and Cullen and other spots along the coast. The local (excellent) chip shop, local shop and pharmacy are also very close by.Thank you Stuart and Julie - we love this part of Scotland and return every year, and will definitely look to book another stay here!
