Lovely bungalow, everything you might need. Easy to find location and quick walk into town centre. Colin was great. If you needed him he was there in a shot otherwise left us to ourselves. Would definitely recommend and will be rebooking when we're up that way again. Fab stay .

Moray tour

We were very pleased with the property, it was exactly as described. Also well furnished and fitted out with washing machine and dishwasher. Plenty of crockery, cutlery etc. Comfy bed and bedroom. Only slight negative was the nearby busy road.

Really pleased you found the cottage so comfortable and enjoyed your stay. Unfortunately the main road near the cottage was more congested than usual due to the temporary roadworks. We would happily have you stay again.

Spring break with the dogs

The cottage fully met our expectations. Colin was friendly but inobtrusive. Cottage very clean and well equipped. There was a bit more noise from the road than we expected. Minor points for Colin there was no mention of a DVD in the description and the control needs new batteries. The enclosed garden was a huge plus and it gave the dogs a bit of freedom. For fellow electric car users it’s worth saying that a fast charge point is only 0.4 miles away. Would come again if returning to the area.
