Lovely apartment. Carpeted throughout, great shower, well equipped kitchen. We cooked one night. Nicely decorated, with charming sitting area overlooking a green. The hosts were very helpful and right next store. Great coffee shop a few steps away and quick drive to a coop store for groceries.

We absolutely loved our stay at Spey Retreat. Kay was very responsive and helpful in getting us settled. The place was incredibly comfortable and spacious. The back patio has an amazing view. The location was perfect for us. It was a short walk to the most amazing coffee shop and many trails and a short drive to several adorable seaside towns. We are looking forward to staying here again in our next trip to Scotland.

We had a lovely and peaceful couple of nights here as a short break. The host is wonderful, and left welcome treats and supplies which were very much appreciated! The property is spacious , in a quiet cul-de-sac and very comfortable. A true home from home - outstanding. Also plenty of great things to do and see in the surrounding area on foot and by car. We will look forward to a return visit!

Spey Retreat – Tranquil Country Apartment on Picturesque SpeysideOur stay at Spey Retreat was absolutely wonderful! Kay, the host, is exceptionally kind and welcoming, making us feel at home from the very first moment. The apartment is beautifully arranged, with a cosy living room and fully equipped kitchen, a spacious bathroom, and a luxurious, comfortable bedroom. The highlight is the garden at the back, opening to a breathtaking, storybook-like view of the Speyside countryside. Truly a perfect place to relax and enjoy nature!
