If you like being close to the sea, you will love this delightful holiday home, just a few hundred yards from the expansive bay at Inverboyndie. Offering fine sea views from the living room, this terraced, mews-style property is just a short walk to the seafront. Stylishly furnished, with a light and airy open plan living space, it is a perfect base for a really relaxing break. Lie in bed and listen to the sound of the sea!

Inverboyndie’s sandy beach is popular with bathers and surfers, and is on the outskirts of Banff, one of the sunniest and driest towns in Scotland. There are good walks from the harbour in Banff, right through to the quaint fishing village of Whitehills on the other side of Inverboyndie, where local fish can be bought. Other attractions in Banff include Duff House, Banff Museum and Bridge of Alvah, and within a short distance is Macduff Marine Aquarium. Take a boat trip in search of dolphins, puffins and whales along the Moray coast from Macduff.

The area is part of the National Cycle Network, with several sections designated traffic-free for relaxed cycling for all ages. The Banffshire coast is a haven for fishing, with good freshwater fishing in the lower beats of the River Deveron and excellent sea fishing. Along the coast are smokehouses and fish shops, as well as quality seafood restaurants. Play golf at one of the many good courses in the area including Duff House Royal in Banff itself, or follow the Whisky Trail inland, through amazing scenery. Beach 200 yards. Shop 200 yards (seasonal), pub and restaurant 1½ miles.
