Guests say
Lossiemouth Bay Cottage is highly praised for its beautiful decor, spaciousness, and comfort, making it an ideal family getaway. Guests appreciate the quick response from helpful staff and the property's immaculate condition thanks to diligent caretakers. While some minor maintenance issues and limited cleaning supplies were noted, the overall experience remains positive, with many guests planning to return.
The property generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with specific praise for its spotless condition upon arrival. However, there are isolated comments about a sticky couch, a mirror covered in fingerprints, and dining chairs with stains, suggesting room for improvement.
The location is described as perfect and stunning, contributing to the overall enjoyment of the stay. The quiet setting and good views from the property are appreciated, although no specific negative comments about the location are provided.
Comfort is highlighted as a strong point, with the property being described as very comfortable and providing a pleasant stay. However, the lack of curtains or blackout blinds in some rooms and a comment about small sofas for larger guests indicate that comfort could be further enhanced.
Facilities like the snooker table and provided slippers and dressing gowns are well-received, but several reviews mention maintenance issues such as broken toilet seats, a loose kitchen tap, and a non-functional smart TV. The swimming pool and hot tub were also unavailable, affecting the score.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

Plenty of room and with 3 on suites perfect for large family. Cottage was clean and spacious with plenty of tvs so no argument about what to watch. Overall fantastic but take your on hairdryer. Will definitely return in future Lossiemouth and surrounding area beautiful with plenty of lovely walks.

Lovely and cool features, showers and bath amazing, some unique and interesting features. 5 star all over but there were some small maintenance issues needing checked. 2 toilet seats should be replaced - Orange bedroom en-suite & Utility WC. The kitchen tap needs tightened probably underneath and the panel under the oven fell off easily. The roof terrace didn't look safe and we didnt not try to access, though it was never good enough weather and there is a dead seagull on it. I would say the sofas in the area next to the kitchen were a little small (we are big people!!). A smart TV would be ideal somewhere, they are a little dated. We never worked out how to connect to the internal internet but we had decent 4g signal. Overall we loved the house. Cheers!
