Seaside holiday cottage in Scotland

The McGuire family from Stirlingshire say they wish The Lucken belonged to them! High praise indeed from these lovely guests. They were lucky enough to enjoy some stunning autumn weather and told us they spent hours on the lower terrace admiring the views. They gave a huge thumbs up to the food at the But n Ben. We are so lucky to have such a good restaurant on our doorstep. There's nothing nicer than fish n chips followed by our favourite from the sweet trolley, pineapple me

​ Another week and another round of new guests! It was lovely to meet the Green family who travelled up from Carlisle to stay at the Lucken. They were greeted with blazing sunshine, so much so our new parasol got its first outing! Aaron and Freya were our first young visitors and they arrived with their bikes, raring to go and explore the caves and rock pools. We took advantage of the warm weather to take a walk on St Cyrus beach. The miles of golden sands were being enjoyed

​ It’s been an eventful week that saw us welcome our very first guests. The Ross and Nicol family from Kingussie and Dunoon stayed at the Lucken and gave us some lovely feedback. Our guests managed to strike it lucky with a week of sunshine with only a few showers on their last day. We hope they arrived home chilled out and happy. Next week we’ll be meeting our first young guests. We’re looking forward to hearing what adventures they get up to. Auchmithie beach is great for

Local painter George transformed the cottage from a rather dingy mustard to it’s nautical but nice colours. At last, after three long months of wallpaper stripping, sanding, varnishing, hammering and banging, The Lucken is ready for its new life as a holiday cottage. We are looking forward to welcoming our first guests to our getaway with a view in the next couple of weeks. We test drove The Lucken last weekend and it was lovely to take time to sip some bubbly in the garden,
