Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests find the cottage spotlessly clean and well-maintained, contributing to a comfortable stay. However, a few guests have raised concerns about cleanliness, which slightly affects the overall high standard noted by others.
The cottage's location is highly regarded for its peaceful setting and convenience for exploring Speyside, the Moray Coast, and local amenities in Aberlour. Its proximity to walking trails and scenic areas is a recurring positive aspect.
Guests generally find the cottage comfortable, with a warm and cosy atmosphere. Some guests mention the beds being on the hard side or the property feeling cramped, which suggests room for improvement in this category.
The property is well-equipped, with most guests satisfied with the facilities provided. However, there are suggestions for improvements such as better heating instructions and an enclosed garden for dogs. The presence of a wet room is a notable feature.
While many guests mention and appreciate the welcome gestures of shortbread and beverages, as these gifts are not consistently referenced across all reviews, it cannot be guaranteed that such thoughtfulness is a standard practice for every stay.
About this property
Aberlour 1.2 miles. In a quiet and pretty residential location on the outskirts of Aberlour, this extremely well-presented semi-detached cottage makes a fabulous holiday retreat. Next door to the owner's home and yet totally private and self-contained, this cottage would be ideal for a couple or small group of friends who want to enjoy this wonderful area together. Fresh and tastefully presented the main living area is a perfect place to relax and enjoy home-cooked meals at the end of a busy day and the comfortable bedroom and contemporary shower room are immaculate. The large leather settee in the sitting area. From the sitting room doors open out onto a patio area complete with picnic bench and guests can certainly enjoy some outside dining on the warmer days. Aberlour itself is a pretty village with a broad High Street providing a great selection of shops and cafes and the local fish and chip shop comes highly recommended! Fishing is available, as you would expect, on the River Spey and permits are available locally. For golfers there are several top quality courses within an easy drive and nearby Dufftown has a challenging hilly 18 hole course. For cyclists the Moray Monster Trails provide 18 miles of single track mountain bike routes for all levels, and for walkers there is of course the wonderful Speyside Way. Wildlife is easy to spot in this unspoilt area of Scotland with around 60 species of birds along with wild cats, pine martens and much much more. You can always just pop in your car and drive through the pretty quiet roads, stopping at the many craft cafes and distilleries along the way. A truly magical location and a cosy and smart holiday home to enjoy.
The small, pretty town of Aberlour lies on the banks of the River Spey, and is surrounded by wonderful open countryside, with the Caringorm Mountains on one side and the Moray Firth coast on the other.

The owners, who live next door, were very friendly and helpful. The cottage is situated about one and a half miles north east of the village of Aberlour and is ideally situated for exploring Speyside and the Moray Coast. We really enjoyed our stay
