“The Old Coach House is centrally located, a short walk to local shops and bakeries, making it ideal for those wanting to explore Buckie. I noted that the on-site restaurant and bar are convenient, but with limited hours. It's a pet-friendly spot, and the proximity to the Moray Firth adds appeal for those looking to experience the coast.”
