Large garden with sitting-out area and garden furniture. Enclosed garden. Grounds (shared with owner). 2 dogs welcome, to be kept on a lead during summer (cows in fields). Bike store. Private parking for 4 cars. No smoking.. Ben View is a delightful old croft which has been in the same family for over 60 years. It retains much of its original charm while benefitting from updated and modern amenities. This charming detached cottage is set in a stunning, rural location approximately 4 miles from Fochabers. Ben View has 360° views for miles and miles, with views of the forest, which is owned by the Forestry Commission, from the front and hill views from the back, showing you the best of the Scottish scenery.

The cottage is surrounded by fields which are home to cows in the summer months. Due to this, please keep pets on leads, however the cottage benefits from two gardens, one of which is fully enclosed, perfect for dogs and children alike. Due to its lovely location, the property is ideal for families, as well as golf enthusiasts with a number of courses nearby.

Ben View is right in the centre of the Scottish Whisky Trail, with several of the main distilleries within easy reach. Forest walks can be enjoyed from the doorstep, or head out and visit the picturesque Spey Bay, 3 miles, where there is the Scottish Dolphin Centre, a fantastic place to visit at any time of the year. The nearest town of Elgin is just under 8 miles away, and Inverness is within easy reach for a day trip. Beach 11 miles. Shop, pub and restaurant 4 miles.

Lovely remote location
It’s a lovely place to be. Great views and excellent walks. The double bed was really uncomfortable and is in need of a new mattress. The bank bathroom and shower was spot on however the kitchen lacked things like a pizza wheel, chopping boards and enough sharp knives to go around. All that said we had a wonderful time after we managed to get hold of the owner to gain access (no email or message to suggest how)

Beautifull cottage.
Beautifull cottage. tranquil setting the perfect place to realx and unwind. Open the door of the cottage and you hear nothing, no cars, no roadworks, no sirens etc. The perfect place to de stress from daily living. The cottage itself was well laid out comfortable and spacious. This is the first time the "Murdochs" have let the cottage and they have done an excellent job. The only drawback was something or somewhere to dry wet clothes. This wouldnt have been a problem if we hadnt stayed at the time of probably the worst weather for months. Maybe going forward a tumble dryer or kitchen maid in the bike shed would be the answer for rainy days. Albeit one of the nicest, cosiest cottages we have ever stayed in. Well done again

This was a lovely cottage and location for a weeks holiday.
This was a lovely cottage and location for a weeks holiday. Obviously we had our dog on the lead due to cows being in the field next to the garden however if they weren’t there we would have been unable to let them off as the garden was not enclosed. As we were out a lot it didn’t have a detrimental effect. Would highly recommend.
