Compact, adequate for our needs, however the bath towels were smaller than expected, apart from that, all ok, good location, good enclosed garden and adequate parking even if a little tight for my large car.

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.

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.

Excellent all round

Although the Cottage was in Forres it was in a quiet lane. The place was spotless and very warm. Forres is a great place to get to the coast or inland on The Dava Way. Colin and Tricia and their little dog Dino were very welcoming. The big plus was having the conservatory. Warm in the day away from the biting wind.
