With off-road parking outside providing easy access to the Old Net Shed, you will quickly be unpacked and enjoying the view and sea breeze in the garden. Later watching the spectacular sunset from the patio with beverage in hand.
Step through the front door and you will find yourself immersed, in the calm light filled snug with dual aspect windows. The desk with it’s O.S map of the local area, can help plan your adventures. It’s also the perfect place to dolphin watch or sit and dream while gazing out to sea. Down three steps is the charming kitchen, with slate floor and kitchen units built from reclaimed materials. The Rangemaster cooker and well equipped kitchen, is the perfect place to cook up a feast, then gather around the dining table for long lazy dinners. Enter the cosy living room with touches of its cottage heritage with painted wood panelling, and the wood burner makes things super cosy on cooler days. For entertainment there is a 40” Smart TV and Bluetooth speaker or snuggle up with a good book. At the end of the day head upstairs to the delightful bedrooms, one with kingsize four poster and the other a double. Both have painted floorboards and ample storage space providing great relaxation spaces. Also upstairs is the bathroom with bath and shower over. The cottage has two patios, rear and front to catch the sun all day long.

We loved the Old Net Shed.
We loved the Old Net Shed. It is a good sized cottage on the sea front. It had everything we needed and is decorated really nicely. It is very homely. The weather was poor but the cottage is cosy with a wood burner. Whitehills is a village with a good pub/restaurant, a decent supermarket and a church converted into a pottery. Banff is a good walk away, but also has an hourly bus service.
