Exhilarating runs on sandy beaches await you and your furry friend when you stay in this cute ground-floor apartment. Ideal for solo adventurers, friends or couples, plus a four-pawed companion, it’s within metres of the coast as well as all the amenities of popular Cullen, and offers a colourful and cosy space to relax when you get home from your adventures.

Hang your pup’s lead in the hall and head into the delightful lounge/diner, a welcoming space with warm colours and comfortable seating (including a sofa bed) gathered around a cosy fire. Switch on the Smart TV and catch up on a favourite series as your pet snoozes by your feet. Dine at the table for four, spread out your maps or play a board game from the selection provided. The sweet kitchen continues the stylish theme, and has all the mod cons you’ll need for cooking up delicious holiday meals – plus that all-important coffee machine. Give your dog a goodnight cuddle and head off to the super-king-size bedroom, another pretty space filled with splashes of colour. For a refreshing shower or relaxing soak, there’s a bathroom with a shower over the bath. As well as a shared cottage garden, the apartment benefits from a private seating area where you can enjoy a morning coffee or evening glass of wine as your pet sniffs around in the fresh air.

Centrally located in the seaside village of Cullen, famous for its dish of Cullen Skink (creamy potato and smoked haddock soup), the cottage makes the perfect base for sniffing out fabulous walks around the unspoilt coast and countryside. Your hound is welcome on the beach all year round, and there’s a fabulous walk to Sunnyside Beach, around 2.5 miles, and the ruins of Findlater Castle.

Very well situated place to stay. Cullen is a lovely spot and the locals are friendly. There are some lovely walks that are easy to get to without driving and the beach is also delightful. The wildlife is great and I saw both dolphins and seals in the bay. The cottage was well equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay.

Cottage was lovely, very comfortable and in a good location. Plenty of good walks nearby and beach is only minutes away. Our highlight was watching dolphins playing in the bay. A great view from the harbour wall.

Sandyford felt cosy and homely, but with some stylish tweaks that felt nice on holiday. We weren't short on any equipment or amenities in the cottage and in terms of location, we were able to fill a lot of our week with activities we could do right from the door- car free, just feet and paws. Overall, a lovely base to explore the Moray coast. PerfeRead morect for one or two people with a dog in tow. We'd recommend and we'd come back. Thanks! Hide

Sandyford is a lovely small cottage in a perfect location in Cullen. The furnishings and decor are upscale and you will want for nothing during your stay. A very comfortable spot to come home to after days exploring the beautiful surroundings. Book this place. You can't go wrong.

My wife said it was the most comfortable bed she had slept in for a while :) Ideally situated for exploring the area around and the dog loved the beach in Cullen too.
