The North East of Scotland The North East of Scotland and the Scottish Highlands were popularised as a tourist destination when Queen Victoria bought Balmoral Castle in 1848. It is easy to understand why, with the wide open spaces, the 'big' sky, rugged mountains and tranquil glens. Home to many of Scotland's most famous whiskies and the Cairngorms National Park, there are many opportunities for outdoor pursuits, including walking, fishing and mountain biking. There are also plenty of award winning golf courses to enjoy. The coastline of the Moray Firth is also stunning, with its mix of cliffs and coves and wide beaches with the whitest of sands and pretty fishing villages and harbours. Whether you want to take advantage of the many activities on offer or relax and unwind, this area will have something for you! And the coastal area has its own microclimate, giving it more sunshine hours than you might expect.
Local Amenities There are no amenities in Sandend Village itself, however there are a selection of local shops, bars and restaurants in both Portsoy (2.5miles) and Cullen (4 miles).
The Admiral Pub in Findochty is also worth a visit.
Things to do To quote the Banffshire coast website The choice of things to do here is endless: cafes, shops, pubs, restaurants, farmers' markets, MacDuff aquarium, marinas, watersports, golfing, visitor and genealogy centres, art galleries, museums, artists retreats, walking, cycling, wildlife and bird watching, boat trips, fly fishing and sea fishing, castles, distilleries, festivals and events and even a unique micro-climate, which means our area is milder and dryer than that of our neighbours!

You set and achieve a very high standard and the attention to details is very much appreciated. There is everything here I could possibly need - so well thought out. Walks were good and beach lovely. We wanted peace and quiet, so it was perfect

"Overwhelming!" We came a very long way (2000 km) by car. But the accommodation and location were more than worthy. A fantastic flat, spacious, sunny with everything we needed. And much more. The perfect welcome pack including the right wine for the first evening. From the first second we felt home. Almost all rooms have a view to one of the nicest beaches of the UK. A great garden place with all opportunities to sit and relax overlooking the beach! Simply fantastic and at a reasonable price. We usually travel all over Europe using self-catering accommodation. This one was the best we have ever experienced. Seems to be impossible to improve anything. We enjoyed an unforgettable time there. Thank you very much, Wendy and Colin.

We had an amazing week at Sandend. The location is stunning with views of the beach from the cottage, it always looks different depending on the light/weather/time of day. Get up early enough and you can have it all to yourself! The smell from the nearby smoke house in the morning is very evocative. There are loads of great walks nearby, our dog had the time of her life. There is lots of information leaflets at the cottage advising on all the things to do in the area. Nearby Cullen is lovely, one of the highlights of our holiday was sitting out at the picnic benches in Cullen, eating delicious fish and chips, over looking the beach in the evening sun, bliss! The cottage is truly a home from home, it has everything you could ever want, Wendy and Colin are very friendly, welcoming and helpful. I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Verified Homeowner
Why is Lupain Holiday Rentals the only holiday rental company to verify the ownership of holiday accommodation? Research has shown that not all advertisers are genuine. There have been cases where people have booked holiday accommodation only to find out it does not exist.
This sort of ‘scam’ is hard to comprehend but these days fraudsters are coming up with ever more imaginative ways of obtaining money by deception from innocent people like you. We do not want holidaymakers who book with us to fall victim to this type of scheme. Money is mostly hard earned we know, so taking a holiday is usually a major expense. In addition, we do not want you to remember us for a shattered dream.
Therefore, in order to protect you we have introduced our Owner Verification Scheme. We ask all holiday home advertisers to submit proof that they own the property they are advertising. Only when we are satisfied that an advertiser and their property is genuine do we add our Green Shield to their property advert. Apart from being a deterrent, it also encourages advertisers to make sure they verify their property, giving you peace of mind when you make your booking.
If you want to make a booking look for the Green Shield on the top right of the property advert, if you do not see our Green Shield it may mean we have not yet completed the verification process. We normally complete this process within a few days if no verification is forthcoming the advert is removed.
We take this Owner Verification Scheme very seriously for your protection. If you have any doubts about the validity of an advert or misrepresentation please contact us with your concerns.
Please note, Lupain Holiday Rentals does not verify the advertisement content placed on this website by property owners, nor do we offer any guarantee as to the correctness of the advertising information placed on this website by third parties.
