Thinking of a holiday or short break in a lovely wee cottage, in a village where you feel you are in a time gone by?
Then think about coming to Sandend Cottage.
It could be just the place for you.
With a gorgeous sandy beach that has great surf and miles of wonderful walking along clifftops to other lovely beaches, bays, harbours and villages, there are secrets to be discovered and history to be uncovered along each stretch of the way.
Your holiday experience could include:
 Bright, sunny, warm days (usually).
Walks on the beach, whatever the weather (definitely).
Enjoying evenings on the shore (or by the fire).
Visits to the nearby tearooms (forget the diet).
Walks along the cliffs,wind in your hair, sun on your back,(depending which way you are going!).
Looking out for seals, dolphins and whales (see the lesser-spotted-surfer instead).
Watching the sun setting, late or early ~ whatever the time of year
Catching the moon rising, relecting on the water...
Seeing about the Northern Lights sweep across the night skies...(well, we can all dream a bit, )...
... or just enjoying hearing the sea rolling in....and out...
...Whatever suits you, you could enjoy all this from
SANDEND COTTAGE
*****
The cottage is only a step or two away from the delightful old harbour (one of the oldest in Scotland. There are no fences or barriers from the cottage to the water, so please bear that in mind if you have young children with you. That said, it is a great place for everyone of all ages to have a wonderful holiday, leaving the cares of everyday life behind you.
The cottage is open April to January and we look forward to greeting our visitors, both old and new.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS
In booking this cottage, you agree to enter into a legal contract with the hirer and will be bound by these terms and conditions, as set out below.
What is and is not included in the price
The price includes electricity, bed linen, hand and bath towels, and the first supply of coal and kindling (plentiful), but excludes any extra payment for bringing pets and any deposits lodged before arrival.
Availability
Please check the 52 week availability chart and if the week/s you want are free, please email with your enquiry. Your enquiry will be answered promptly, usually the same day if you email before 9pm. Thanks.
Short breaks
A short break is generally Monday afternoon to Thursday morning or Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. You are welcome to stay for less, but the minimum charge is for three nights. If you stay 4 or 5 nights, the price is calculated for the extra nights and a 6 night stay costs the same as for a full week. The short breaks are usually available out of high season and within the 'late availability' period of no more than 3 weeks in advance.
Discounts
There is a 5% ‘One or two people only’ discount in the ‘off peak’ season for bookings of a week or more. A discount may be negotiated for any bookings of 2 weeks or more, for example if you prefer not to have a housekeeping service half way through your stay and the hirer is agreeable to this.
Deposits
There is a 25% non-refundable booking deposit required to confirm your provisional booking. The provisional booking is held for 7 days only and needs to be confirmed within this period.
A general damage deposit of £75 is required along with the final balance payment and if you are bringing any pets, you may also be required to lodge an ‘I’m bringing my pet’ deposit.
These damage deposits are fully returned after your stay, provided there is no damage/loss to the cottage and/or it's contents or extensive cleaning needed.
Booking a last-minute holiday?
You need to allow enough time for your payment to be received and cleared. Electronic transfer of funds by BACS, CHAPS or SWIFT is preferred and for a 'last- minute' break the funds must be in the bank 48 hours prior to your day of arrival. Please see 'Payments' section below.
Holidaying on your own?
Please ask when making the booking for a price that reflects single person usage.
Pets
Please add £10 per pet per week or short break. You may be asked to pay a returnable ‘I’m bringing my pet’ deposit. Please email for more details.
Leaving
Departure time is no later than 11.00am on the morning of your departure day, unless explicitly agreed with the owner. The housekeeper needs access from then in order to prepare the cottage for the next guests, in order to maintaining the excellent standards of cleanliness that you experienced. Please bear this in mind when you decide your leaving time and allow enough time from getting up to leaving.
Payments
Payment by direct banking transfer is preferred, but a cheque is happily accepted. The balance of payment is due 8 weeks in advance of the beginning of your holiday date. The full hire fee is due for late availablity bookings with less than 8 weeks notice. Please note that the booking is not considered confirmed until the final payment has been cleared.
Please note
When you hire the cottage, you enter into a formal contract with the owner from the time you agree (either verbally or in writing) to book the cottage. If you change your mind before you pay the full balance, and you do not intend to honour the booking, you are expected to inform the owner of this intent as soon as you have decided not to go ahead, in writing, i.e. email or letter. If you fail to inform the owner of your intention to cancel, you will still be liable to pay the full amount for the week/s that you have booked. If you do not do this, every effort will be made to collect all of the outstanding sum, including taking legal action if necessary.
