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!

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.

Amazing place

Our week in Keith went so fast, with so many things to do around (castles, destilaríeis, cities, beaches, local events). The house was amazing, very pleasant, great space inside and outside. So much to do that the kids survived Without internet.

Wonderful Highland stay

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house in the Highlands. The children really enjoyed their stay and there were lots of places to visit in the surrounding area. Everything necessary was also available in the house. We will definitely spend a holiday there again. Thank you very much for the wonderful time. We definitely recommend this house! Kind regards

Great house, nice scenery

We had a perfect time at the house. The views are so beautiful. We had NO problems at all! You need a car to get to the house, that is important to know. It was quiet, I loved the sheep grazing around the house. There is a lot to do and see in the neighberhood. If I was going to this part of the country, I would defenitively choose this house again! The only thing that was confusing for us, It said there were NO towels, so we had to bring them and that filled a lot of our suitcase space. When we came at the hougse there were towels available. That is something I would wanted to know in advance. There is NO WIFI. You can use your 4G. We didn't miss it....there were enough DVD's. We had the best time!!

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.

Sehr schönes Haus

Das Haus und seine Lage haben uns sehr gefallen. Auch sonst hat das Haus ziemlich viel zu bieten. Geräumige Küche, großen Esstisch, viele Brettspiele und gemütliche Couch. Leider verfügt die Unterkunft nicht über WLAN und auch Handtücher wurden nicht zur Verfügung gestellt.

Simply wonderful!

We spent a wonderful week in this beautifully designed and decorated cottage. Great surroundings and everything you could wish for is at the house (except maybe WiFi…) Comfortable for families with children. Splendid views from the living room. We had beautiful, sunny weather, but I can imagine this cottage is great in any season. Hoping to return some day!

This is a really lovely property - loved the open plan living room and the floor to ceiling windows. We enjoyed the garden birds - skylarks, meadow pipits, pied wagtails and swallows! The house is very well equipped, bed was very comfortable. Very relaxing getaway!
