  • "This property is equipped extremely well."

    It's clean, cozy and beatiful. It's pretty secluded and in a gorgeous area of Scotland. We had a wonderful stay.

  • "The house is fantastic with all the comforts of home."

    It is larger than it reads in the ad and is very well maintained and spotlessly clean. The thing that sets it apart is all the small things that were already there on our arrival....ground coffee, tea and biscuits, dog towels, bowls and much more. It left us knowing that the owner thought about making our stay better without looking for a saving of a few quid. Something that is mostly missing from short term rentals. I was unable to find fault. Thank you.

  • "This holiday home is like home from home, it has everything and more to make your stay welcoming and comfortable."

    Right from the lovely welcome pack that’s left for your arrival and the fact that Nix & Ben go the extra mile by emailing before your stay with a milk choice. We even had a text on the way up to check on our journey with advice on a route as there had been an accident. Also, leaving the porch light on for us on our late arrival. There is a lovely detailed manual with all history of the property, about the owners, advice, routes and a whole lot more. We met Nix who was absolutely lovely and was on hand in the house adjacent if we needed. The house is situated in a beautiful setting with lovely walks around, which we made the most of. The location is perfect in every way. We had the most wonderful family holiday and would love to return one day.

  • "Excellent property, friendly and helpful owners."

    Lots of information provided by the owners on local walking and cycling routes etc and a great selection of leaflets on places to visit and thing to do. We could not fault anything. We have stayed a many property rentals and this one is at the top of the list. It was very well equipped, clean and spacious and very peaceful. The location was excellent as it was an area we hadn’t visited before but certainly with a vehicle we were able to explore the wider area. Lovely walks right on your door step which our dog loved. Also great for cycling, spending time on wonderful beeches or visiting Places of interest and we did a lot of exploring. A very relaxing week. Highly recommend this property.

  • "It's an (aspirational) home from home, perfectly located in the countryside, close to excellent biking, walking routes or simply sitting on the garden bench and gazing at the ever changing wonderful scenery - with a drink."

    A wonderful place to reflect and or be active. The house is larger than it looks in the photographs, plenty of space to spread out. The down stairs double/twin bedroom is wheelchair accessible and ideal for guests not comfortable with stairs. We had our holiday's food supplies delivered to the house by one of the local supermarkets (Tescos, Sainsbury, Asda), so we could focus on optimising our time on holiday. Nick and Ben are excellent hosts, giving us a warm welcome - nothing was too much trouble. It was nice they live a short walk away, as when we had a query or had post being delivered (while we were out) they helped us out. Forres is a 20 minute drive away. Definitely recommendable.
