Number Forty Two has been family owned for the past 30 years and was turned into a holiday let 4 years ago. Ideally situated with a 1 minute walk to both New Harbour and the Historic 17th Century Old Harbour. The cottage is also a 5/10 minute walk to the local shops which includes 2 bakeries, Portsoy Ice Cream Shop, Coffee Shops, Restaurants, take aways and bars, Portsoy Gift Shop and a grocery store. About the Cottage She may look small on the outside but Number Forty Two is a spacious cottage that can sleep up to 6 people. The cottage is on 2 levels. Downstairs Master Bedroom - The master bedroom has a comfortable king size bed, wardrobe and chest of drawers. This room has double aspect view, with a street view from the front of the property and a garden view from the rear window. We provide all bed linen. Bathroom - With a lovely double shower cubicle with electric shower and a Jacuzzi bath. Hand and bath towels, 1 toilet roll and hand soap are provided for your stay. Living Room - A bright and spacious living area for everyone to cosy up and chill for the evening watching the latest Netflix series in front of the electric fire. Enjoy a game of scrabble (or even twister) with the family from a small selection of board games in the games cupboard. Kitchen/Sitting Area - A large open plan kitchen area to cook up your favourite meal (or to enjoy your take out if you fancy a night off from cooking). Or sit and relax on the comfortable corner sofa or swivel chair watching the dolphins out on the bay, the sunrise in the morning or if you're staying in the winter you may even see the Aurora Borealis. Dish clothes, dish towels, pan scourer and washing up liquid are provided for your stay. We also have a Tassimo Coffee Machine which we provide a small selection of coffee and hot chocolate pods. Conservatory - Too chilly of an evening to sit outside? Then why not have that tipple of choice in the conservatory where it will still be warm and pick a book from the book shelf to unwind in the evening. Upstairs Double Bedroom - If you were unable to fight for the King Size bed then you will be waking up to the beautiful sea views from this bedroom. Situated at the back of the house you will be opening your curtains to sea views and beautiful sunrises. All bedrooms have blackout curtains so if you’re not keen on the early sunrise waking you up you’ve no need to worry. Twin Room - Also situated at the back of the house this room contains 2 single beds. Kids and adults alike will also be waking up to sea views across the bay from this room. And with blackout curtains maybe the kids will sleep that little longer in the mornings. Dressing Room - A multi use room with a vanity desk that can be used to get yourself ready for the day ahead. On a working holiday? Use this space as an office during your stay. There is also a hanging rail for the upstairs bedroom guests to hang their clothes. We provide a hairdryer so it is boneless thing to bring with you. The Garden Number Forty Two has a large garden with the most gorgeous sea views. Why not open up the large patio doors in the kitchen and sit and enjoy your breakfast el fresco on the patio. Or take that dinner right up to the the back of the garden on the raised area to take in even more views of the sea. There is also a grassed area with a whirly bird dryer or for the kids to run about on. We also have a letter box containing rock pool nets, fishing rods, crabbing nets and bucket and spades for a day at the beach or harbour. Parking Number Forty Two has its own drive way and parking is available for up to 2 cars. Please be courteous to other neighbours and avoid parking in front of driveways etc. What’s not provided Young children are more than welcome to come their holidays to Number Forty Two. Unfortunately we do not provide a cot, so you will need to bring your own. A high chair is provided if needed. Please request this prior to your arrival. We also have a small selection of toys and books for younger children. The Area There is so much to see and do in the area. From visiting one of the many beautiful beaches in Aberdeenshire & Moray (we provide buckets and spades at Number Forty Two) to the many walks and hikes along the coast or inland. A favourite of ours is visiting Findlater Castle between Sandend and Cullen and walking further out to the secluded beach of Sunnyside. With Portsoy being situated in Whiskey Country there are also so many Distilleries to visit and sample their delights. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation -

We had a couple of minor problems but owner responded and rectified the problems very quickly. Nice views of the sea and the harbour is within minutes walking distance. Would definitely return here if in area again. ##### Audrey H. Stayed 15 nights in Dec 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian R.

Great entertaining spaces, inside and out with sea views. Property very clean, tidy and well equipped. Perfect for our group of 6 blokes on a golfing holiday in the region. ##### Ian R.

Aug 3, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Die Zeit im Cottage in Portsoy war wirklich perfekt. Die Kommunikation mit Donna verlief unkompliziert. Das Cottage liegt fußläufig 2 Minuten von der Küste entfernt. Portsoy ist ein beschauliches kleines Fischerdorf mit Geschichte und Charakter. Sie finden vor Ort alles notwendige an Infrastruktur wie einen gut sortierten Supermarkt, Bäckereien, Eisdiele, und direkt an der Küste ein Café und eine urige Kneipe. Auch Einkaufsmöglichkeiten für tolle Souvenirs gibt es dort.Die Wohnung ist für einen Aufenthalt mit mehreren Personen bestens geeignet. 2 Schlafzimmer mit 2 großen Betten, und ein Schlafzimmer mit 2 Einzelbetten. 2 Zimmer finden sich in der Etage, ein drittes kann als Babyzimmer genutzt werden. Im Erdgeschoß befindet sich ebenso ein großes Schlafzimmer. Die Küche ist bestens sortiert, mit hochwertigen Marken-Küchengeräten wie ein Ninja Air Fryer, Toaster, Mikrowelle, Kühlschrank und Gefrierschrank, eine Waschmaschine. Einzig eine Spülmaschine fehlt, aber das lässt sich gut aushalten.Die Wohnung verfügt in der Küche und im Wohnzimmer über einen Fernseher. Wer mit Teenies unterwegs ist, weiß das zu schätzen - auch das W-Lan. Über den Wintergarten oder durch die Wohnküche findet man den Weg nach draußen in den Garten. Dort gibt es für jede Situation die passende Sitzgelegenheit. Bei einer Tasse Kaffee (Tassimo-Maschine mit Pads von der Vermieterin gestellt) lässt sich dort die Meeresbrise und der Gesang der Möwen genießen ;-)Liebe Donna, Danke für alles. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/55404cc6-65fa-477f-a233-6f2f891bf18e-1754219929300.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d005fdd3-c2d1-4140-859a-9ff739b5f6d5-1754219923735.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8eb7bec6-5589-4215-adb7-7b53b6fb1780-1754219927419.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a1aa7b2d-b0f3-46ba-bf75-9f24f88c7194-1754220054544.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Christine S.
