  • "This is an exceptional property in a stunning area of Scotland ."

    Jane is the perfect host taking care to show us around and explaining everything to help us settle in and the welcome gifts were so thoughtful . The pod itself is very well equipped with absolutely everything that you would need and is cosy and really comfortable especially the beds . My husband is a wheelchair user and we have never found any holiday property to match Moss of Bourach in genuinely meeting the needs of those with mobility problems from the wet room with wide door access to the adjustable beds and the Jane ensuring that we had everything we needed . The view over to Ben Rinnes is amazing and the whole experience was so relaxing . We will definitely return .

  • "An absolutely fabulous place to stay."

    Everything has been well thought out with all mod cons. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you need for your stay. Lots of lovely little extras when we got there, not going to spoil it for others who have booked. Very comfortable beds. Easy to work shower. Privacy blinds if you want them, blackout in the bedroom. Beautiful and relaxing with a friendly owner and their family who couldn't have done more to make our stay amazing. Wonderful easy to access swim spa and hot tub that was extremely clean just like everything else. Plenty to see locally, The Whisky Trail, the castles, shopping and countryside walks as well as quiet evenings watching the sun set. Beaches at Lossiemouth and beyond. Wildlife in abundance. Many thanks, we will be back.

    The immediate surroundings and the mountain views meant our breakfasts lasted hours as we just soaked up the beautiful atmosphere of the place (one morning we woke up to a deer on the lawn munching on the flower beds!). The accommodation was spacious and spotless, with everything we needed (and plenty of things we never realised we needed!). It was the perfect base for trips to the Moray Coast to the North and the Cairngorms to the South. Not forgetting it is located near the Spey in the heart of whisky territory with distilleries seemingly round every corner.

    Thank you for your lovely review and helpful description of your stay. It was a pleasure having you to stay and the deer are still munching away but hopefully more on the fallen crab apples ! The autumnal colours and light are really coming to the fore now to add to the scene too. Great meeting you both and thank you again . Property Owner

    The host Jane and her family were incredibly accommodating going above and beyond any expectations to make sure we had everything we needed for ourselves and our 4 month old. Cannot praise them enough. The pod itself had everything we needed and on top of that a load of gizmos and treats that made the stay even more enjoyable, from the massage beds to the Japanese toilet to the organic soap. The highlight for us was the hot tub/swim spa which I probably spent far too much time in. Its huge. The views as well. Was hoping for some stargazing but the weather wasn't permitting, though this didn't detract from the gorgeous sunset or views. Wishing Jane and family all the best and will definitely be back.

    The welcome saw us being introduced to our very clean and massive pod for our stay. Jane explained how to use everything and what was required. We absolutely recommend a long stay here. Wish we could have stayed longer than the two days. Smart toilet seat - google Japanese toilet - bed that massages you to sleep; turns itself off. Milk, cream buns and Prosecco in the fridge along with fresh bread and local biscuits from Walkers biscuit factory just down the road. A grand boxed selection of fruit teas and coffee pods for the machine Clean and compact. Really no need to take an oven glove or extras like Sykes recommended as were not required. I did needed to buy sauce at the local shops - 5 minute drive or there about - for our fry up but I bet you even as I type Jane is on the case. It was a home from home experience. Then the amazing swimming pool come hot tub! This was main reason I chose Jane’s retreat but it was so much more than we expected. For folk that need swim training take a holiday here; you can thank me later! The wet room is large and so easy to use before and after the hot tub. Moss of Bourach is about 1/2 mile from Ben Rinnes Distillery and from the public carpark there you can join a path so you can walk up Ben Rinnes. Jane has a booklet includes information regarding the workings of equipment and has taken her time to make sure there is local info and safety regs sorted in her booklet. With the views and sunsets this is a place we will return to, with its wonderful host too. Thank you Jane.

    It really is the most wonderful space to relax - the beautifully warm swim spa is the icing on the cake for me and we used it every evening (even in the -5 temperatures and snow!). It was blissful to me as someone with a bad back and hip, especially after very full and hectic days it really soothed my aching muscles! The pod itself is fabulous; from the cleanliness of the whole pod to the Alexa controlled lights - my particular favourite was the instant hot water for a cuppa. Jane, the owner is just the perfect balance of being on hand to help you with anything you need to know, to offering the right amount of privacy to allow you to get on with the task of relaxing and enjoying your holiday.

    We’ve not had a bad holiday yet but we have to say this is a stand out experience. We’ve never had such a great welcome before, being diligently shown around the property by the owner Jane who explained all the amazing equipment including Alexa controlled lights and heating and the huge hot tub/pool. We used it every night even in the rain as it covered within the barn which doesn’t obscure your view outside. Jane provided us with a lovely local lemon drizzle cake, an ice cold bottle of Prosecco and a fresh baked loaf amongst other things in the welcome pack. She even topped us up with coffee machine pods. During our stay we were afforded complete privacy and Jane was always on hand for any advice about the property and local area. We normally travel in a group of four to six family or friends but this was a rare excursion as a couple for which this property and local area was ideal.

    Having said that, the added extras - such as boiling water tap and Japanese toilet - were additional welcome surprises. The starter pack of local produce - including fresh bakers bread and the best carrot cake ever tasted (sadly the local baker had none left when we visited to buy some on our departure day), along with Walkers shortbread etc etc - was most appreciated after an 8hr journey due to road closures, the satnav apparently losing signal going through the Cairngorms and other factors. Hope to book soon to return next year. Jane has truly, in our opinion, found her vocation in life, she is the best host balancing interaction with privacy. The family pets were an added bonus for us (although kept at distance if disliked), and the multiple deer sightings within the grounds and on approach were amazing. The pool just speaks for itself - brilliant to have our own personal pool truly at our disposal for that week. It was all we hoped it would be and more! Tranquil, secluded surroundings made for a very relaxing week!

  • "We enjoyed 5 nights at the property."

    The property was spotlessly clean and had all the facilities available that you could need. The hot tub was a fantastic bonus and we used it every day. The views are fantastic from the property and you can view the sunset from the rear of the property. We met some nice people during our stay including the owner, the sheep farmer, the gardner and some friends who were looking after Marmalade the cat as the owner was away for the begining of the week. Would definitely stay again.

    Thank you for taking time on your lovely review. It was a pleasure having you stay and look forward if the opportunity arises to welcoming you back. Property Owner

About the location

ABERLOUR

Elgin 15 miles.

The pretty town of Aberlour lies on the banks of the River Spey, and is surrounded by wonderful open countryside, with the Cairngorm Mountains on one side and the Moray Firth coast on the other. Noted for its presence on the Whisky Trail and for Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival visitors will be stunned to realise that there are 50 whisky distilleries within a 15 mile radius of the town. Many of these distilleries are well worth a visit as they have excellent visitor centres with plenty of tasting on offer. The area is a magnet for fishermen with the River Spey so close by, whilst walkers will certainly appreciate the fabulous walks and wildlife they will encounter en route through the Speyside Way, one of the four official Long Distance Routes in Scotland. Aberlour is a great base for exploring this region of Scotland.
