About Selma & Rob Nicol
The Owners of this special property are Selma and Rob Nicol. We are both Canadian, although Rob grew up in Buckie which is a short distance from Cullen. We met in Canada in 1991 and eventually married in Scotland in 1998 at Eilean Donan Castle (very romantic!) and moved to a lovely little farmhouse just outside of Buckie on the Moray Coast. I nursed at the local hospital and Rob had an upholstery business. In 2005 family obligations necessitated a return to Canada but we continued to regularly return to Scotland to visit family with the intention of some day moving back. After relocating to the area in 2012 we purchased Camrose in the autumn of 2013 and spent several months renovating it to it's current high standard. We are very pleased with the result and think our guests will agree it is a lovely comfortable home away from home.
Selma & Rob Nicol purchased this cottage in 2013
Why Selma & Rob Nicol chose Moray
We had a very successful first year with our other Cullen property, Hill Crest Holiday Cottage, which is also listed on Owner's Direct. We love Cullen and so do our guests so when an opportunity to purchase a second property came our way we couldn't resist. Camrose is a unique property with something different to offer from Hill Crest but in the same delightful setting.
What makes this cottage unique
The location of Camrose within Cullen is ideal. Restaurants and shops are only footsteps away and the surrounding countryside only a few minutes more

Reviews
Exceptional!
5/5 -
(26 traveler reviews)
We had a lovely long weekend and would thoroughly recommend a visit.
This was our second visit to Camrose Cottage and again it did not disappoint. The cottage is beautifully appointed being a short stroll to the Main Street (more importantly the ice cream shop) and a pleasant short walk to the sandy beaches and harbour.
The facilities within the cottage are second to none, from a lovely welcome pack, fluffy towels, comfortable bedding, barbecue utensils to even dog towels and blankets. The garden is fully enclosed and a complete sun trap which was lovely.
I cannot recommend it enough and we will be returning soon!
Excellent
Love Cullen and loved this beautiful holiday home! Thoughtful extras throughout the house truly made it a home from home.
An exceptional holiday home
Camrose Cottage was a superb holiday rental. All the furnishings and appointments were first rate from the kitchen supplies to the quality linens. The owners went above and beyond to welcome us with a welcome basket of treats and fresh flowers. The house is spacious and comfortable and very clean. We had a great time there and highly recommend it.
A small piece of heaven
Everything is thought of in this gorgeous property. It feels like a boutique hotel! From the fluffy towels, to the robes to books and magazines and games.....
The welcome pack was such a lovely thought and much appreciated after the journey.
I am sure we will be back at this property again
Perfect location for a holiday
We loved the cottage. Very warm welcome and a beautyful and more then complete equipped home.
Wonderful Cullen in Camrose Cottage
Camrose Cottage was everything and more than we expected. We were welcomed by Selma and Rob and given a detailed tour, they had organised a welcome basket of goodies, and a beautiful arrangement of tulips as well. The cottage is well equipped with everything you need...truly a home away from home. The décor is tasteful and relaxing, the attention to detail better than anywhere else we have stayed in Scotland over the past 2 years. The location of the cottage is excellent, well within walking distance of eateries (the Chinese take away is amazing), the Main street and the beach, and Cullen itself is a great place from which to explore the Moray Coast. You will definitely not be disappointed if you book Camrose Cottage, it really is first class.
