5 pet friendly 'home from home' self catering holiday cottages in Lossie, Portsoy and Sandend. www.moraycoastcottages.com Where we met! Our last Cottage?

Family friendly , 2 with EV chargers, 1 eco/accessible, all well loved and thoughtfully equipped. Your hosts, Wendy and Colin:
We got married in 2002. Independently, we had decided to give up stressful jobs, working long hours, to go travelling in Africa. After a long honeymoon (in a roof top tent, again in Africa), we decided to settle down and ‘move to the country’ for that oft touted lifestyle change. For 8 years, we ran a B&B in Elgin, but found a conflict of interests when our young twins needed to go to 2-3 group. At the same time as our guests wanted breakfast! Enjoying tourism, we moved into the self catering holiday business in 2007. Our First holiday Cottage
At this stage the property market was moving very quickly. We knew we wanted to be in the Seatown area of Lossiemouth. We had put offers in on a couple of places there, but lost out. Then one Friday, Seatown Cottage came on the market, for a fixed price. Unfortunately, we were on our way to Amsterdam for a week. Our solicitor thought we were a little crazy, but we put an offer in on it – unseen! We reckoned if the photos were nice enough to make us want to buy it, it would be nice enough to persuade people to come to stay for a week (and Colin was by then a joiner, so could fix any minor irregularities!)

Colin got home a few days before me, and went to view our new purchase with some trepidation. He called me straight away to say that he loved it. And we haven’t looked back since! People have asked if we’re stopping at 4. I thought so, as more would not allow me to manage them with the personal care and attention that we think your holiday deserves. In 2019 Colin decided he wanted a 'project' and we started work on the Old Police Station in Portsoy, totally renovating it, a long labour of love! Then we decided to move into Seatown Cottage. Much as we loved Fordyce, the house was always cold, we had to drive everywhere, even to walk the dog and I wanted a view of the water. We have extended the cottage, ticked all the green boxes adding solar panels, an air source heat pump, triple glazing and are now loving living in Lossie. However we might just have another project in the pipeline... This WILL be the last!

The bottle nose dolphins are always a big attraction for visitors and locals alike. I saw these, up close and personal from a skiff, between the harbour and the mouth of the river.

has made mincemeat of the summerhouse at Driftwood! The remains are battened down for the next onslaught.

Since when has it been unreasonable for self catering hosts to ask their guests to wash up their dishes (or put them in the dishwasher!) or to put out their rubbish? What will Airbnb think of next!

A balanced and well researched look at the issue of planning permission for short term let's and the unintended consequences of the current, unclear legislation.

ASSC Scotland Lossiemouth Business Association

The BBC reports that around 800 of Edinburgh's 1,754 licensed short-term lets have been refused planning permission but are still operating. The real story is a system that licenses homes as safe and well run, then gives their owners no clear way to know whether they need planning permission at all.

There's a bit of a chill to the air, but it is tranquil and beautiful, sitting on my favourite bench!
