Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

So good we didn't want to leave! We will be back!
I hesitate to write a review simply because we don't want to share this hidden gem!
Having a seaview from almost every room, with a beach a literal stones throw from the front door and another just 5 minutes walk is as close to holiday heaven as you can get, then add you're on the Sunshine coast! Accomodation is comfortable and very well equipped we catered for ourselves very easily. We visited Brodie Castle, the Scottish Dolphin Centre but sadly we saw no dolphins until a couple of days later when we saw dolphins swim by from the house...very very excited granddaughter 😁 We also saw the the seals on the beach at Port Gordon and heard their haunting song. Cullen beach is beautiful and Cullen icecream is some of the best we've ever tasted! We also visited Glen Moray Distillery one of the best value tours around I think and very interesting. We took dogs away with us and spent a lot of time walking around the village and local areas there are lots of amazing walks. We are already planning our next trip 🙂

A Fabulous Getaway
The house is in a fabulous location being opposite a small beachy inlet which provides beautiful views throughout the day.
Beautiful coastal walks, in both directions, are accessible from the house.
The small beach opposite the house has a communal bbq grill which would be great during the summer. There is a larger beach at the end of Duke Street.
The house itself is very comfortable, homely and well equipped. The hosts were very helpful and quick to respond with information about the local area.
Findochty is a very quiet village and great base from which to explore the coast and local area.
Hope to return one day with family and friends so they too can enjoy the area and the lovely accommodation.

Great stay
Group of 5 adults visiting
We all had a fantastic time
House is spotlessly clean with lots of little details that make it feel very homely.
Information on local area is very helpful too. House has everything you need for your stay, televisions, games, books, kitchen utensils etc.
Lovely sitting area out the back on raised decking where you can watch the sea or table and chairs for having a coffee /wine
Beach right outside the front the door is excellent.
Log burner for when it's chilly is lovely.
Very spacious house
Second time visiting and would definitely return again.

Excellent all round
We had a fantastic stay with family at 5 The Hythe. The cottage is in a great location for touring the area and is fully equipped with everything you need. Beach is right on the doorstep so great views from the cottage. Hosts very helpful with recommendations for places to eat etc. Real home from home and would highly recommend.

Lovely weekend!
We spent another wonderful weekend at the Beachfront House in Findochty. We keep returning to this fantastic place as often as we can.
Ian and Fiona are very responsive to all enquiries.
During our stay, the weather was perfect, the cottage was welcoming and clean as always. We even were lucky to see dolphins from the bedroom window!
We can't wait to come back at the last weekend of June.
I can't recommend this place high enough!

Great stay in sunny Finechty
The Hythe is an ideal location for a family holiday and this house is well equipped with all you need to enjoy your stay. The decking area behind the house was ideal for al fresco dining and barbecues and the children enjoyed good access to the beach. Managed to see dolphins from the bedroom window. Communications with the owners and caretaker were first class. Thank you so much
