Country Cottage
This is a fantastic property. Bright and cheery with wonderful views. We stayed a week and used it as a base for a golf vacation. Too many courses within a 30 minute drive to list. Played 4 courses, rented ebikes and rode the Speyside Way in Aberlour. We would defiantly recommend.

Peace & tranquility
A wonderful gem of a property set in the most picturesque countryside among rolling green hills with happy flocks of sheep just outside your window. The holiday home was very well equipped with everything you could need, including comfy beds and furniture and a cozy fireplace. We were able to cook and do some laundry, which came in handy. The owners keep the place spotless and they were very easy to contact when needed. We appreciated the little extras like very clear instructions for all the appliances and equipment, detergent, cleaning supplies, batteries and even bandages. There is no wifi but there is signal for data and there are plenty of tv channels and games in the house. Would highly recommend for couples or families who are looking for a relaxing Scottish experience.

Private, Gorgeous Scottish Country Retreat
Beautiful home away from home in the country. Gorgeous Scottish scenery out every window. A great private location with a fully stocked kitchen etc. If you are coming from abroad be prepared for a short narrow drive from the nearest town but we'll worth it. We were sad to leave..

Quiet, modern, light country retreat
The upper sitting room suited the teenagers well. There were a few dead flies but otherwise clean. The owners responded quite quickly regarding the few problems that arose.
The wood burning stove heated the sitting area very well. The views through the triple glazed gable end were stunning.

Fantastic, peaceful stay
Absolutely wonderful stay. The house was as described, perched on a hill, with a wonderful view of the surrounding fields. We enjoyed coming back after a long days of sightseeing, lighting the fire and just relaxing. The house had everything we could need except a hairdryer (three women with no hair dryer was entertaining but we managed). Communication with the owner was perfect and the instructions for the house and directions to find it were great. We really completely enjoyed our stay and it was a highlight of our visit to Scotland. Would stay again in a heartbeat if we should visit the area again.

Absolutely stunning and a home away from home
I don’t know where to start with this property. From start to finish it was an absolute dream. The location is idyllic. Yes it’s off the main road a bit but easily accessible by taxis and the like. We had a hire car so no issues there. The views are breathtaking and the house has everything you’ll need. The best thing was that we felt totally at ease with our two year old running around outside in the fully fenced yard - even inside the house, it was child friendly without any sacrifices made to the classy look of the house. My granny (from the local town in Keith) absolutely loved visiting and sitting looking out to the Knock where she was born. We will forever remember the chats around the fireplace. And to top it off the house was well priced and the owners were so fantastic to communicate with. We ended up extending our stay! Thanks so much for sharing this lovely home we will definitely be back!

Fantastic barn
Wow, what a wonderful holiday. We just spent 10 days at the barn and it was amazing!!!
Such a beautiful, comfy home with everything you can think of inside, the owners have gone the extra mile. We fell in love with it the moment we stepped inside and the views and location were so fabulous that we didn’t want to leave.
We visited the local coastal town of Cullen quite often for some beautiful coastal walks and we ate in a lovely restaurant there called the Seafield arms, it was so good that we booked it 4 times!!!!
We would highly recommend this gorgeous barn to everyone and we will definitely be returning.
We loved every minute of our stay.

Only downside was the shower upstairs which could have been better.
