Alternatively the kids might hog the space for the telly. Plenty of throws to snuggle up with.
We absolutely love the amazing views that we have from the majority of our windows. Even from the upstairs loo!
A favourite view of ours is watching the sunrise in the bay from the comfort of the bed in the main bedroom. Another is the window downstairs, which looks up to the famous Red Phone Box. An iconic part of the film Local Hero starring Burt Lancaster, which was partly filmed on location in Pennan in 1983.
Pennan is a wonderful base to explore the coastline and inland area. Whether you turn left/right or go straight over at the top of the brae, you will find an amazing choice of places to see and things to do.
Don’t forget to sample the excellent coffee and cake from Coastal Cuppa along at the harbour, or enjoy an excellent meal cooked for you at the Pennan Inn. Enjoy your holiday in Pennan.

Wonderful nature and peace

My husband and I spent four weeks in the house. It is beautifully situated in the small village of Pennan. Here you can enjoy nature and absolute peace and quiet. Whenever you want, you can sit by the water and watch seals, dolphins, and birds. There are cakes for sale at the harbour and you can also sit there and enjoy the small village. The Pennan Inn is a good place to eat. You can buy fresh fish in Fraserburgh. The house is very spacious and cozy. It has everything you need. We had a wonderful time. A car is required.

Cosy house by the sea

Very nice and quiet place to be and a realy good view to the sea from the living room. Its really nice to sit in front of the fireplace in the evening. We loved it in the morning, to sit with our coffe in front of the house by the sea. In the master bedroom you could not open the windows, despite of that, we enjoied it very much to stay at that special place in Pennan.

Schöne Unterkunft in guter Lage

Die Unterkunft liegt sehr schön, in der Nähe gibt es beliebte Ausflugsziele. Das Haus war größtenteils sauber. Ein bisschen mehr Geschirr wäre gut gewesen, dann hätte die Spülmaschine nicht so oft laufen müssen. Außerdem fehlte eine Mappe mit Infos, z. B. zur Entsorgung des Mülls. Die Vermieter antworten jedoch schnell und sind hilfsbereit.

By the sea

We had a restful cosy stay at this comfortable cottage by the sea. We spent many hours just fascinated by tides and waves. The local Inn was very hospitable but unfortunately did not serve meals. Many National Trust properties nearby but check opening times.

Tolles Haus in einzigartiger Umgebung und Kulisse (s. den Film Local Hero)

Insgesamt eine gelungene Unterkunft. Der Blick aus den Fenstern ist nordsee-toll. Ein paar Kleinigkeiten sind im Haus zu erledigen, so dass an der einen oder anderen Stelle ein wenig kompromissbereitschaft das Leben erleichtert hat :-) Was wirklich gut wäre, wären Instruktionen für die Heizung, das Warmwasser, die Sicherungen, das Wifi, etc. Es hat alles geklappt - aber mit Anleitung hätten wir nicht ganz so lange probieren müssen. Vielen Dank für die Unterkunft - es war eine gute und erholsame Woche in Pennan. Anke & Axel

Einzigartig

Das Haus liegt direkt am Ufer mit Blick auf das Meer, so dass eine einmalige Atmosphäre entsteht. Die Gastgeberin ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Drinnen wurde einiges renoviert, manche Dinge aus vergangenen Tagen sind aber erhalten geblieben, weshalb man sich immer noch an ein altes Haus in einem Fischerdorf erinnert fühlt. Zusammen mit dieser Locatin haben wir einen unvergesslichen Urlaub erlebt.

Fabulous location

Loved the location parking easy. Might be wise to have more instructions on operating heating system when pressure goes down which means no heating. Other than that we enjoyed Pennan.

About the host

Hosted by Kate Kelly

Host profile image
Welcome to our home. We are Kate and David Kelly and we have lived in our home for 14 years.
We moved to Glasgow to be nearer to grandchildren. We enjoy sharing our space with guests.
I have such wonderful memories of swimming with my friends and children in Pennan. Also of swimming at the next bay along at Cullyknan which is walking distance from Pennan.
Pennan is a wonderful place for everyone, but children adore it. The sound of their playing brings the village to life.

Why they chose this property

The obvious answer to this question has to be that it’s in Pennan.
Pennan is a magical place where you tune into “Pennan time”. Life outside your cottage takes place on the Bankhead. This is where people come together to "news". This is where you hang up your washing and discuss the prospects of it getting dry.

It is not unusual to set off to the bins at the far end of the village with rubbish and recycling and not return for hours.

Location
Whether your thing is eating out, watching Dolphins at the centre up the road in Moray, visiting the numerous castles and museums, learning to surf at Banff 12 miles, west, or using your own equipment for kitesurfing at Fraserburgh 11 miles east, listening to the truly awesome voices of the monks at Pluscarden Abbey near Elgin, or watching the bird life at Troup Head Nature Reserve 2 miles west, it is all accessible from Pennan.

If you are an enthusiastic cyclist, bring your bike. The former Buchan Line has been converted into a walkway and cycle path. We have a fenced off garden area for storage.
For dining there many restaurants and takeout food nearby in Fraserburgh -Banff- Peterhead.
You might prefer to cook up some fresh fish from Macduff or Fraserburgh on the Bankhead. Nothing beats an alfresco meal on the Bankhead in summer outside Purple Windows.

What makes this property unique

Occupying a seafront location, the majority of our windows look out to the ever-changing sea.
We are also really fortunate that with a private garden at the back, we have the best of both worlds and guests can retreat from the Bankhead if they wish.
