Make Port Cottage your home by the sea while discovering the spectacular Moray coast, Speyside and the North East 250.
Set in the traditional fishing village of Portgordon, Port Cottage is a beautifully restored three-bedroom holiday cottage overlooking the Moray Firth. Sleeping up to six guests, it provides a welcoming and comfortable pet friendly base for couples, families and friends looking to explore this remarkable corner of Scotland.
The coast is quite literally on your doorstep. Step outside to enjoy the beach, coastal walks and wonderful views across the Moray Firth – renowned as one of the best places in Scotland for spotting bottlenose dolphins, osprey and other marine wildlife. Follow the coast to discover picturesque fishing villages, harbours, sweeping beaches and some of Moray’s most memorable scenery.
Head inland and you are within easy reach of Speyside, home to some of the world’s most celebrated whisky distilleries. From distillery visits and historic castles to woodland walks, local food and outdoor adventures, Port Cottage is ideally placed for experiencing the variety that makes the North East 250 such a rewarding touring route.
Closer to home, explore Portgordon’s harbour and village, enjoy the Fairy Walks just across the road, wander through the nearby community gardens or simply slow down and enjoy life beside the sea. Historical photographs displayed throughout the cottage also offer a fascinating glimpse into Portgordon’s maritime, industrial and social heritage.
The cottage forms part of the historic former Richmond Arms Hotel and has been lovingly restored by Portgordon Community Trust. Its restoration has brought an important local building back into use while creating a distinctive place for visitors to stay.
Best of all, your visit has a positive impact. Income generated by The Port Cottage supports Portgordon Community Trust and its work to protect local heritage, strengthen the community and encourage sustainable tourism.
Whether you’re road-tripping the North East 250, searching for dolphins along the Moray Firth, discovering Speyside’s whisky country or simply looking for a peaceful Scottish coastal escape, Port Cottage is a wonderful place to make your base.
