About this cottage rental
Crooked Hythe Cottage is located in the quaint Moray Coast fishing village of Findochty in a simply stunning seafront location. This delightful one level cottage was completely refurbished and extended in 2007 and has just been completely redecorated by the proud new owners in 2020 to provide the most discerning of holidaymakers a perfect base from which to explore the Moray Coast. This gem of a cottage has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and sleeps 4 guests in a king bedroom with ensuite shower room and a twin room with an easily accessible large family bathroom with a shower over the bath.
There is a modern and spacious kitchen with loads of storage and counterspace with a breakfast bar and seating for 4. The kitchen is open to the dining room with a large table which seats 6. At the far end of the open plan area there is a very comfortable light and airy living room space to relax with family or friends at the end of day.
Sliding glass doors off the dining area provide a fabulous view out to sea and lead onto a fenced, elevated and spacious patio with a garden table and chairs for outdoor relaxation or enjoying some alfresco dining. The amazing and virtually private beach can be directly accessed from the patio.
We think you will love Crooked Hythe just as much as we do. It is a fabulous place to just unwind and enjoy amazing views in cosy and comfortable surroundings.

This home was perfect for two couples who love to cook and relax in style! We have stayed in many fabulous places, but none where the host has put so much thought into every detail of the property. If we travel to Scotland in the future, we will definitely be returning to this home!

The cottage is very well equipped with lots of welcome 'extras'. I can't think of anything the hosts didn't provide for, which was great (even binoculars!). The locals were very helpful and welcoming and we enjoyed a couple of visits to the village pub. Would highly recommend as hassle-free, high-spec accommodation in a lovely location overlooking the sea.
Thank you to the Hosts, great job.

Our favourite place to stay, Findochty and the Crooked Hythe
Always love to be back in Findochty and especially enjoyed our stay at The Crooked Hythe.
This is not our first visit to the property and as always it was spotlessly clean and everything thought of to make us feel home from home.
Already booked for our next visit!

The property is beautiful! A lovely cottage right next to the sea. Inside is both modern and at the same time very authentic and cosy. The heating was on when we arrived so it was warm when we walked in, which was appreciated as it was -3 outside when we got there. The house was immaculate! Very very clean. The hosts left a welcome card and a basket of goods as an added touch. Very nice indeed!
We really enjoyed our stay here and would not hesitate to return!

Fantastic stay
Idyllic spot for a chilled out getaway, with all the amenities from a local pub in the village to a supermarket just couple of miles away. The cottage is fully equipped and the attention to detail is second to none. Would highly recommend The Crooked Heath and can't wait to go back

Top class property
This property is a stunning example of a holiday let, the attention to detail is spot on.
It is very homely and there were so many extras to make the stay just like home. Made to feel very welcome both myself, family and our dogs.
My son is a wheelchair user and the property was perfect for him with plenty of room.
We would definitely highly recommend and will be back in the future. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Wonderful cottage!
We love Findochty and this cottage made our stay even better. Scrupulously clean, comfortable, every tiny thing you could need supplied. There was even ice ready for our Gin and Tonics! Wonderfully quiet location; lots of mucking around on the beach and the rocks. Walks, bowling and go karting nearby for the teenagers. Thank you.

This is the best self catering accommodation accommodation we have ever had in Scotland. The cottage was spotlessly clean, had all the appliances you could need, dishwasher, washing machine tumble dryer-, plenty of towels and all good quality items. There was an excellent stock of cleaning & laundry supplies + kitchen supplies eg tea coffee herbs etc. A welcome package and fresh flowers made an excellent start to the holiday. We saw seals & dolphins pass outside and spent many hours just looking at the views. Wanted to book next September but unfortunately no availability for our dates. Would definitely go back .

A very attractive, clean and comfortable cottage that had excellent amenities and lots of little extras. Wonderful breakfasts enjoyed on the deck watching the fishing boats and trying to spot a dolphin! Definitely a place for a re-visit.

Crooked Hythe Cottage
Fabulous cottage in an excellent location, we would heartily recommend stopping here.
All the little details in the cottage from the welcome pack, the extensive DVD and game collection to the facilities in the kitchen made our stay exceptional. It even didn't rain for our weeks holiday..!!
Would certainly stop here again if we're in the area.

A home from home
We last stayed in this beautiful cottage in 2013 and since then it has been completely transformed. Very clean and beautifully furnished and included everything we needed to make our holiday complete including a welcoming pack and flowers.
Finechty once again has been amazing! The place that forever holds a special place in my heart and fond memories of my childhood and visiting my great-grandmother for family holidays.
Sun, sea, sunsets, dolphins and seals and most importantly creating new memories with my own family.
We have had a wonderful holiday and cannot wait to visit again soon.

Crooked Hythe Cottage
Ich mache fast ausschließlich Urlaub in Ferienhäusern, aber sowas hab ich noch nicht erlebt!
Das Haus war blitzeblank, die Küche war mit allem ausgestattet was das Herz begehrt. Wir haben einen Geschenkkorb, einen Blumenstrauß und eine sehr nette Karte von Selma und Rob gekommen. Die Betten waren fantastisch und über die Aussicht von der Terrasse auf‘s Meer könnte ich noch ewig reden. Alles in allem ein überaus gelungener Urlaub und ich hoffe das wir das Cottage irgendwann nochmal wiedersehen.
