Reviews
"We had a week in this fantastic house. The highlight for sure was dolphin spotting from the shore at bow fiddle rock. The house was spotless and had everything you could need and more. A great location for exploring the area. Great wee chippy and cafe just around the corner. Good base for coastal walks with stunning views and sunsets. Great beaches and play areas to let the kids run wild close by too. Would definitely recommend Slater's. We did suggest the water was too hot and possibly risky for kids but the owner as contacted me to say this has been remedied. All in all a perfect wee escape"
"Just spent a winter weeks holiday at this superb accommodation. Spotless, cosy and a real home from home. Chip shop to die for 2mins walk,local store 2 mins walk also. Great clifftop and beach walks not forgetting the old rail line path. Really hard to sum up so i have decided on one word...Perfect !"
"Slaters is the perfect place to stay to explore this part of the world. Portknockie is a hidden gem, with great places to eat in the village as well as nearby in Cullen and Buckie. Don't miss fish and chips and Cullen Skink. The kids enjoyed fishing in the harbor and rock pooling on the way to the Links. We all had a great time exploring the coast, seeing dolphins and seals along the way. The cottage has kept its traditional feel and it has everything a family could need in its very well-equipped kitchen. The welcome pack was much appreciated after a long trip from the U.S. We would definitely stay again."
"Having stayed in money cottages along the Moray coast, this was the best. It had a cosy feeling with the wood burner and good central heating, and yet had plenty of space for the 5 of us who stayed, and other visitors we entertained during our stay. A perfect place to re-charge after a busy summer and autumn so maybe back again."
"We have just spent a week in Slater's cottage. 7 adults and 1 baby. It was a wonderful uplifting spacious cottage, beautifully decorated with very thoughtful sayings hung on the walls. Everyone loved the beds which are so comfy and the welcome pack was delicious and the fresh flowers were a beautiful touch, like coming home. It is an ideal place to stay with a few minutes walk to the beach/harbour, fish and chip shop almost at our doorstep. We had a great week and sunshine every day which was super for my sister's daughter's wedding, kilts and all. We had lots to explore on Cullen Beach and enjoy visiting the Ice cream shop and visiting the nearby towns. It was an amazing holiday and would definitely return to Slaters. Thank you"
"We have just spent a week in this cottage. 6 adults, 1 child and a baby. It was amazing. Accommodating for everyone. It is beautifully decorated, beds are so comfy and the welcome pack was delicious. Only a few minutes walk to the beach/harbour, fish and chip shop and welcoming pub. We had a full week of exploring, rock climbing, swimming and visiting the nearby towns. Was an amazing holiday and would definitely return to Slaters. Thank you"
"This really is the best holiday cottage we have stayed in! It was cosy, comfortable and in an ideal situation. Lovely walks in the evening down to the harbour...and to great fish and chip shop! Cottage was very well equipped....had absolutely everything! The beds were lovely and comfortable and the showers in both bathrooms were excellent. Great WiFi connection too! Have to give a special mention to the welcome pack - very enjoyable and much appreciated. We had a wonderful week in portknockie and will certainly come back to this cottage! Thank you!!"
"Fantastic cottage a few moments walk away from the beach/harbour. The cottage is beautifully decorated, well equipped, dog friendly, child friendly and very spacious. It has everything you need to enjoy your stay. The owners left a wonderful welcome pack tailored to our booking and it was very much appreciated and a thoughtful thing to do. Loved our visit and hopefully manage back for another stay soon! Ps - we used the Tesco delivery service which came in very handy too!"
"Slaters was a perfect cottage for our 3 generations family holiday & with it being toddler friendly we as Grandparents could totally 'chill'!! Everything about this cottage, its layout, its contents , situation & communication from Mark, the owner were better than 1st class. Welcome pack was ever so tasty ...included Butteries& Haribo!!? Great size kitchen & fridge. Bedrooms big, Beds V comfortable , stair gate& cot were provided also. Even provided wetsuits , buckets& spades!! A lot of thought & Care has been taken in making Slaters into a 'home from home'. It is a 2 minute walk to the harbour, beautiful cliff walks in both directions. A scenic walk along the coast to Cullen. Lots of other villages to visit. , beautiful beaches, delicious ice cream & Tescos & Lidl in Buckie for all your needs . We only discovered Portknockie Fish& Chips on our last night!! WOW!! Dont swither about booking ....just do it ...& go & ENJOY!!"
"We had a fantastic week away at Slater's cottage. We enjoyed exploring the area and the weather was very good to us. The cottage was the best we've ever stayed in. It had absolutely everything we needed. The extra benefits of a log burner, coffee machine and extra toys for the boys to amuse themselves with was incredible, including a Playstation and games. The cottage was cosy, beds were very comfy and there was loads of hot water for showers. The boys loved counting the lovehearts in the house. It's the wee things that matter most. The chippy is genuinely the best we've ever had. It was hard work tearing ourselves away from the cosy and comfy cottage of a morning but Moray and Aberdeenshire are worth exploring. Amazing beaches and lovely villages to explore. Plenty of ice-cream shops too. We'd love to visit again soon. We thoroughly enjoyed our break. Many thanks to the owner, Mark who couldn't have been more accommodating."
"The cottage is extremely well equipped and tastefully decorated. It is warm and welcoming - with an extremely generous welcome pack - situated in a central location in the village, handy for the pub, chip shop, and shop/PO. I stayed for a week with my sons and our elderly springer spaniel. We would definitely come back to Slaters as it is one of the best self catering cottages we have stayed in, in this area."
"We stayed at Slaters Cottage for the last week in September and was maid to feel really welcome.We were met by Mark the owner who showed us around and had even organised a welcome pack for us which we thought was a nice touch.The cottage was superb with everything you need.Very cosy and warm every detail had been covered.We would certainly recommend this property to anyone who likes their home comforts."
"Slater's is a beautiful and immaculately presented cottage that I am delighted to recommend to anyone. The cottage itself is beautifully decorated. The bedrooms are all great sizes and the beds are extremely comfy! The owner, goes above and beyond to make the experience great, from the generous welcome pack on arrival to providing information on local attractions."
"A lovely house and location for me and my 2 grown up daughters. Beautifully presented and spacious - the house was perfect for the 3 of us and would easily cope with more people. The wood burning stove was a delight and the kitchen was easy to use (great coffee machine!). Mark was fantastic - lovely, unexpected welcome pack of breakfast items and goodies on arrival and he even re-confirmed our boat trip as there was patchy mobile signal in the village. A charming, friendly owner. The location is outstanding .... beautiful beach walks, and the boat trip on Gemini Explorer from nearby Buckie is highly recommended. The pod of dolphins we saw was beautiful :)"
"The house is beautifully finished , spacious and situated a minutes walk from the coast. The children loved the choice of bedrooms and the layout of the cottage. We had everything we required for the week, including the owner's help when required. Very friendly and approachable. The coastline is stunning and Portknockie is a good base for access to other beautiful places, Cullen,situated a mile up the coast (it's better to walk along the coast from Portknockie than drive),and Lossiemouth,which had one of the nicest beaches I have visited. It is quiet in Portknockie,but there is plenty to see and do. Everyone is very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The local chip shop is as good as it gets. This was our first trip to Scotland,but won't be our last. Overall,Slaters cottage and the entire holiday exceeded our expectations. We shall definitely be returning and the kids loved it. "
"The cottage is well equipped in all respects. The layout is great for larger / extended families. Portknockie has everything a family needs for a great seaside holiday - beautiful beach, interesting cliff path and rocks, and an excellent fish and chip shop! Also lots of very interesting things to do - marine aquarium in Macduff is fantastic. The cottage is in a very quiet location and has a private patio with outside drying facilities. We had a great holiday."
"Having recently spent a lovely week staying in this charming cottage which is full of character, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cosy, relaxed atmosphere. Ample space and good sized rooms. The owners have ensured that it is welcoming and have gone the extra mile when it comes to attention to detail. "
"Booked for a group of guys working on a nearby site. This property was ideal for our guys, good location and great price. Communication and help when required from the owner couldn't have been better. If we are working in the area again Slater's Cottage will definitely be the first place we try for accommodation!"
