“This was a lovely cottage.”

It was clean, it was comfortable and it was beautifully presented.There was a generous welcome pack. The owner was delightful. The location was ideal for exploring the coast , for hill walking and for the odd dram here and there. Portknockie is also blessed with the best fish and chip shop we have ever been to.

“Moray Mirth was a lovely cottage which was very comfortable and exceeded our expectations.”

Everything possible was provided and the downstairs bedroom suitable for my mother who is 86 with en-suite facilities. One bedroom upstairs also had an ensuite shower room. Moray Mirth also had a wrap around garden with somewhere to sit wherever the sun happened to be. The whole cottage was well laid out with everything provided for catering indoors. It was great having Sky t.v. in the lounge and large dining kitchen. Downstairs bedroom also had freeview t.v. Comfortable leather sofa's in the lounge making relaxing easy.

“Really good facilities within the holiday home.”

It was nice to be near a shop. Brilliant place to have a holiday. The coast line is fantastic and all of the villages are really interesting. Lots of lovely places to eat. The owner of the holiday home was very welcoming and friendly and even gave us lifts to the railway station which was incredibly kind and helpful and much appreciated.

“The house and gardens were beautifully maintained and appointed.”

It is clear that Roger takes pride in his house - it is palatial when you arrive, and has some excellent features you tend not to see in other lets. The Sonos sound system throughout the house, Le Crueset cookware and very high quality decor (original art and Hermés plates and platters) are but a few of the myriad tasteful touches. An absolutely excellent property, and based on our interactions with him - an equally excellent owner. We wish all of our letting experiences were up to this standard.

“This is one of the nicest holiday cottages we have ever stayed in and we've stayed in a lot over the years, had absolutely everything we could possibly need and so many thoughtful touches.”

The online booking process was also very quick and straight forward.

“Moray Mirth is a fantastic, clean, comfortable and luxurious property.”

It exceeded our expectations and the owners were friendly, welcoming, kind and communicative. Our family of 6 were very comfortable and had a great week exploring the beautiful local area. We look forward to visiting Moray Mirth again soon.

“Mirth cottage is by far the best self catering cottage we have stayed in to date.”

Roger and Caroline are wonderful hosts and have made sure that the cottage is equipped to an incredibly high standard. I am very fussy but there was absolutely nothing to criticise. It was a home from home, in a wonderfully peaceful and relaxing location in the beautiful village of Portknockie. We will be back!!!!
