Perfect
We had a lovely weekend in The Mill cottage. The property was spotlessly clean and the kitchen is exceptionally well-equiped. The bedrooms are a really good size, with comfortable beds. The cottages have gardens and lovely views over the countryside. The area is very peaceful, excellent for walking and the cottages are within easy reach of beautiful Findhorn, Forres and Elgin by car. Lastly, Paul, the owner, was wonderfully welcoming and knowledgeable about the area. He couldn't have been more helpful. Altogether, a great stay.

Gem in beautiful Scotland
Really lovely stay. I was working in the nearby area. Great host, couldn’t do enough for me. Good location with fabulous views. The cottage was clean and spacious, with everything you need, from pots and pans to cleaning materials- just take your food and you’re good to go. Although it could do with a bit of modernising but the owner already has plans for it. Would recommend and will be staying here again when I’m next in the area. In fact already planning a break with my other half soon

Secluded, modernised, luxury cottages
Fully self contained cottages in a peaceful country setting yet only minutes from Elgin. Far enough off the main road so not affected by traffic noise. Lovely walks through the adjacent countryside with only the wildlife to keep you company. Quality furnishings and fittings throughout with very comfortable beds You could find a plate of fresh baked scones on your arrival.
