"Hands down the best of all the accommodations I've booked through Sykes."
Spotless (looked and smelled brand new), beautifully decorated, well equipped (literally had every crockery, utensil, appliance, linen, etc. you could want), very spacious, and importantly quiet.
Checking in and out was smooth, the guest guidebook was detailed and clear, and everything just worked without issue. This was all embellished considerably by the complimentary bottles of milk and water as well as eggs, cake, and biscuit provided.
And the host, Sharon, was very welcoming, helpful, and considerate.
I couldn't recommend Avemar highly enough and would love to visit again.
Many thanks for your feedback it is very much appreciated and reassuring we are doing all that we can to provide a clean, comfortable and homely feel to "Avemar"
I am delighted you had a lovely stay over the Christmas break, you will be more than welcome to return anytime and hopefully stay a little longer, this will allow you to be able to explore around the Moray area and coastline.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were very impressed with the cottage."
However,I found the cooker difficult to operate particularly the oven.Too complicated!
May I also Suggest handgrips in the shower.In the interest of health and safety these are a must where wet surfaces are involved.They should be compulsory in all bath/shower rooms.
I am glad you enjoyed your stay and have taken a note of the areas that need addressing.
All feedback is welcome both positive and negative otherwise we do not know when we are doing well, or any alterations required to provide the best possible service.

Situated in a peaceful setting with lovely views and the local self service farm shop only a few steps away. Very spacious, clean and comfortable with everything you could possibly need for a great relaxing stay. Tastefully decorated with lovely furnishings and a great comfortable bed. The shower was great with good water pressure.Situated with great harbours and towns to explore with breathtaking scenery. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again . Milk, fresh eggs and a lovely homemade lemon cake was awaiting us on arrival and Sharon the host was very friendly and welcoming. Thank you

"Another wonderful stay at Avemar."
This is a wonderful cottage in an excellent location approx 5 minutes drive from Fochabers and 10 mins from Buckie. Very comfortable and spotlessly clean, with everything you need for a holiday. The sheltered back door is an absolute sun trap and we enjoyed sitting relaxing here in the evening. Sharon is very friendly and helpful and kindly left us freshly baked biscuits that were delicious, milk, eggs and water. We can’t wait to return in 4 weeks, it’s wonderful and a little piece of paradise in Moray ♥️
Thank you once again for your positive review and look forward to welcoming you both back in August.

"Avemar is a beautiful house just a short drive from both Buckie and Fochabers and ideally situated for seeing all the wonderful sights in Moray and Aberdeenshire."
Sharon is a lovely host and left us fresh eggs, milk and freshly baked lemon loaf. We had a very nice welcome and everything in the house is perfect. Avemar is spotless and is extremely comfortable, the beds and pillows are great and we all slept really well. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you might need and the bath and shower were fantastic with high pressure and lots of hot water. The living room is very comfortable and has amazing views over the countryside. There is a beautiful sheltered area at the back door that catches the afternoon sun. This is just the most wonderful house and you feel perfectly at home here. Can’t wait to return in July. Thank you so much Sharon we really appreciate your hospitality.
Thank you very much for your kind words and delighted you enjoyed your stay whilst visiting around the Moray and Aberdeenshire area.
You were blessed with fantastic weather, and I am delighted you found the perfect spot on the patio to rest and reflect on your days adventures while catching the evening sun.
Look forward to welcoming you back in July.
