About this property

Pew with a View - Pet Friendly seafront cottage, secure shorefront garden

Pew with a view is 5 meters from the seashore and has fabulous views of the sea through floor to ceiling windows. This location is renowned for Aurora borealis and meteor showers and is peaceful and quiet.
The cottage is a small fishermans cottage and ideally suited for 2 people , but it can sleep 4 in 1 double bed and 1 sofa bed. If traveling with lots of luggage you can store cases in the boathouse below.

There is a secure shore front garden and a wooden decking area in the garden with patio furniture located beneath it , which provides a spectacular location to relax and enjoy the view from the outside. A fire pit is also available should you wish to spend the night outside to enjoy the meteor showers or simply enjoy a glass of wine and breathe in the sea air.
Pitullie is a small hamlet 2 miles from Fraserburgh. It's a quiet and beautiful location to relax, yet still within a easy commute to Fraserburgh town center.
There are several local artists who live in the village and private craft workshops can be organized on request.
There is a small convenience store with a post office about 5 minutes walk from the cottage in sandhaven. Great for last minute groceries or bottle of wine if you don't wish to travel into town
A small fridge freezer is located in the cottage and an additional large fridge feeezer is located in the boathouse along with a dryer, washer and ironing facilities. If you are coming with sports equipment, the boathouse is the perfect location to store it for easy and quick access.


Pew with a view has a bus stop a few meters away which goes into Fraserburgh or Rosehearty. They run every 30 minutes, however, there is a coastal path to both places and it's about a 30 minute walk, either way, directly along the shoreline. Great for bike rides!

A totally unique seafront cottage with its own boat house.
"Pew with a view" is situated in the hamlet of Pitullie in the North east coast of Scotland. The cottage is a renovated fisherman’s cottage dating back to the 1600's and sits 5 metres from the sea. It has direct access to a boat ramp which leads into a small harbour allowing easy access for boats, kayaks, Jet Skis and divers. This site is frequented by diving clubs around North East Scotland and is known as one of the best diving sites in the area. The Boat House situated under the cottage is ideal for storing fishing and water sport equipment. The cottage has floor to ceiling storm-proof windows and is a perfect spot to birdwatch or to enjoy the many dolphins, minky whales and seals which frequently pass by. The cottage has a large decking area and garden with a small natural burn running through it. There is a range of Garden furniture and a fire pit to enjoy the outdoors day or night. Aurora Borealis are common in this area.


I expect guests at pew with a view to respect this quiet and peaceful location and the local residents.

A delight from start to finish

I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of my stay a “Pew with a View”. The cottage is spotlessly clean, comfortable and the host has thought of everything to make your stay relaxed and carefree. This is a wee hidden haven that I will be telling my friends about - and definitely returning to again sometime.

Perfect

Beautiful location. Lovely welcome gestures which in indeed did make us feel very welcome. Luxurious wee cottage. Very comfy bed... batteries recharged. Absolutely not a criticism , perhaps a grab rail at the bureau would help as for us less mobile. the steps between living area and kitchen are a little bit challenging, don't look like it to able bodied but tricky without help for anyone less able. Recommended.

A little bit of Paradise!

What an absolute gem of a property! The owner was lovely and welcomed us on arrival. The cottage itself was equipped with everything you’d need for a home from home experience. The location - just WOW!! Who wouldn’t be wowed by a private beach and a property with massive windows overlooking the sea and it’s wildlife. The private enclosed garden made for a very relaxing time. And the sunrises - and sunsets - spectacular!! This part of Scotland is a hidden treasure. The coastal road to Banff was stunning and the beaches in and around the area were amazing!

Fabulous stay

The view from this cottage is simply stunning, spectacular, although we knew the cottage would be small (it is a fisherman's cottage) it was perfect for us. It still had plenty if character.

Just beautiful!

The location is absolutely fantastic and is a hidden gem. Great host! The wee cottage is lovely, overlooking the vast sea from the living room. Saw beautiful sunrise just from the sofa bed. Kitchen well equipped. Wee bedroom but perfect with plenty storage. The deck outside is just perfect. We had the opportunity to even spot a dolphin sipping our morning tea. The view just stayed back in our heart and just feel like going back again and again. Would highly recommend going for it... Cheerio... Will see you again!

Fantastic

Definitely recommend! View is amazing! The cottage has everything you can think of, we definitely overpacked. Sue checked in on us twice, very friendly and was kind enough to let us know of the local areas! Very clean! Lovely sofa bed and choccies on arrival was a lovely surprise! Thankyou for ours and our dog Milos gift too. Would definitely return, Sue couldn’t have done anything more! (I would only say that the pictures don’t do the cottage the justice it deserves, much more pleasant in real life) Thankyou again 💕

Fabulous hideaway with everything you need for a relaxing time. We spent hours looking out to sea, fabulous views of the sunrise and a well placed telescope to daze into the sky. The cottage was well equipped and cute, both humans and hounds recharged for the rest of our journey.

Pew With A View

As expected of a small coastal village cottage property. The panoramic views from the sitting area window were fantastic and definitely make the property feel a bit special. The outside space is dog friendly and secure yet open to the views. the kitchen area is functional despite the limited space. No table for eating at but we were more than happy to eat looking out the window in a comfy chair! Some good places around for meals and takeaways too in neighbouring town. everyone so friendly, welcoming and nothing was too much trouble.

Location, location, location

This property is all about the location & it does not disappoint. Staggering views. As fresh as the air can get. Property is compact yes, but lacks nothing (well maybe a kingsize bed), even the WiFi is perfect. Very quiet village but the town 1.5 miles away has everything you'd need. Safe off road parking at the front of the house. Property Manager is very welcoming and gives you everything you need to know before you travel. Once more though, this guest house is all about its location. We will certainly be going again.

Amazing stay 9th-14th August.

Fabulous stay vacation. The property was in excellent condition and cleaned to high spec and it was sanitised, you felt safe especially with pandemic. The owner was on call when you needed her and happy to chat to make sure your stay was comfortable. View was breathtaking and the community was friendly, especially enjoyed watching Angus seal. Definitely be back.

We absolutely loved our week at a Pew with a View! Sue is so lovely and welcome - an excellent host. The cottage is beautiful and the view is astonishing. It's so nice having the garden area to sit outside and enjoy the view when it's sunny and a super comfy sofa to enjoy it when it's chilly! Will definitely be returning.

Absolute Heaven

Susan and Isobel made us so welcome. They were so friendly and helpful. Enjoyed a great craft session with Isobel helped along with a rhubarb gin from Susan. The venue was heaven on earth. Spent hours just watching the waves in between visiting areas of interest like Cullen full of antiques and Cullen Skink. Watched surfers In a nearby bay. Just fantastic ❤️
