Craig Cottage

Craig Cottage is nestled into its own secluded area on the Duff House conservation area border. The cottage was originally built as a folly to Duff House and later served as a toll house for the Bridge of Alvah when it was the only crossing of the lower River Deveron before Banff Bridge was built in 1779.

Located just 2 miles from Banff on the Moray Firth coast, there’s plenty to do in the area besides enjoying prime fishing and the great outdoors. Craig Cottage is ideal for anglers, being just a stone’s throw away from the breathtaking Montcoffer Salmon and Trout river fishing beat. Guests booking the cottage and fishing have use of quad bikes to get around the fishings.

The property boasts a south-facing, sheltered sun-trap with a spacious patio, barbecue, and garden furniture. The garden overlooks woodland and countryside, and from the kitchen windows, you can see red squirrels, woodpeckers, pine martens, and seasonal birds and wildlife in all their forms. The borders come alive in May when the stunning rhododendrons start to bloom.

The living area features a wood-burning stove for cosy nights by the fire, a Sky Sports package, and a Sonos sound system. The bedrooms comprise two twins and one double.

If you seek tranquillity, the location of Craig Cottage makes it the perfect base from which to explore the Highlands of Scotland and the glorious county of Aberdeenshire. A truly beautiful spot, perfect for family holidays and couple getaways.
