Top Traveller Review
Fabulous place, warm, welcoming and spacious
The house was warm and welcoming and even better than the pictures portray.
I stayed with 3 very elderly relatives and access by the front door was fine and once in the house everything was easy for them and myself.
The kitchen was a dream to cook in and very comfy to sit in at the end of the day exploring and plan the next.
Will definitely be back.

First Class Property
Stayed at cottage with my sons and friends during Whisky Festival and it was ideal base. Very well equipped property with everything you would need. Nice and warm, especially with log burning stove lit in the living-room. Would not stay anywhere else if visiting the area.
Fabulous holiday cottage with all mod cons
This beautiful home had everything we needed for the perfect holiday. The owners were amazing and provided fabulous customer service and care throughout the whole process. We will definitely stay here again. One of the best properties we have stayed in throughout the world.
Adequate and recommendable
Lovely place! We, 5 single adults, stayed for 4 nights. The house was exactly as described and served us very well indeed.
It looks totally new, everything was clean, big and beautiful. The kitchen was fully equipped, so cooking was a dream. Outdoor seating and garden were lovely.
The place is just few minutes from a big supermarket and the location in superb for traveling to the Speyside distilleries and to the seaside. Elgin town is also nice.
Thank you Shiela!

Ideal base to tour the Speyside distilleries
We were a party of 5 from two from Devon and 3 from Hong Kong.
The property was superbly equipped and we had everything we needed to self cater for our 10 day stay.It was spacious, light and airy and beautifully clean.The 3 large king-size bedrooms all had their own bathrooms so there was plenty of privacy.The spacious kitchen had a family sized table and there was plenty of comfortable seating in the lounge.The garden was beautifully kept with room for outdoor dining.
Elgin is a pleasant town with every amenity.We enjoyed visits to the seaside town of Lossiemouth,Ballindaloch Castle,the Keith to Dufftown Railway and the numerous distilleries around Speyside.
All in all a very good holiday.
Fantastic property, very spacious
Stayed in the house twice with the University of Aberdeen Golf Club. Owner very easy to deal with and very quick to provide all details regarding house. Well situated for Elgin and surrounding areas. Plenty of room for 8 guys to share, would definitely recommend. Hope to return in the future!

There is a charcoal BBQ (charcoal not supplied) and circular table with sun umbrella & 8 chairs plus bench. The patio is secluded and gets evening sun whilst the grassed area gets it most of the day. (The property gets sun all day.) Utility Room: One wall of the utility room is a splash wall with a vertical radiator and hooks for drying wet clothes and an outside tap for muddy shoes/boots. There is sink, washing machine, tumble dryer & freezer. A WC and handbasin off this room. Cleaning / Towels / Linen / Maid service: All towels and linen are included. The property is cleaned and towels & linen changed weekly. For shorter rentals there is a full clean and towel & linen change after every rental.
