  • "If you are looking for an ultra quiet getaway in beautiful surroundings then this is the place."

    Purpose built eco house/lodge beautifully done and finished inside. Best sleep I've had in a long time. Well done Rob/Sue for a lovely stay. Tim, Liz / Chester

  • "Overall, we were satisfied with the accommodation and had a wonderful holiday, heading out almost every day."

    However, there were a few things we found lacking for a stay of over two weeks. We missed several household items: there were only two tea/coffee cups; a percolator doesn't really count as a proper coffee maker for a coffee lover; there was no vacuum cleaner, mop, or bucket; the fridge lacked a freezer compartment; and there was insufficient window covering. The bed is very narrow for a double bed. Only the bedroom had roller blinds; consequently, the many windows meant a lack of privacy and no protection against the sun and heat. There was no fan or anything similar. Perhaps a suggestion for the future: an electric car charging point. Once again, we had a wonderful holiday. However, had we spent more time in the cottage, we would not have enjoyed it as much. I hope the owners will take our feedback to heart; in our opinion, the things we found lacking and which we pointed out really ought to be there.

    We are very happy to have feedback, positive or negative, but feel we need to respond to some of the points you raise, and defend the business we are very proud of, particularly as so many people are very satisfied with the accommodation, and we believe it offers very good value for money. The comment about an electric car charger is a good one, and we have been considering it, however it is clear in the listing that we don’t have one at the property yet. Regarding household items, it seems that your comments relate to the fact that our holiday let is different from your own home, it’s not possible to provide everything in a small kitchen area, however it is fairly comprehensive, with six mugs, a good cafetiere and a broom and dust pan. It’s not clear why you marked us down on cleanliness when we can guarantee it was spotless, this kind of feedback is very important for small businesses like ours. The living area has many windows and not all have blinds, however it is lovely and light, private and very rural, but we understand that guests have different requirements. You were lucky to have such lovely hot weather in northern Scotland! Property Owner

  • "The accommodation was very cosy and warm, on arrival the owner had the heating on which was very welcome as the weather was very nippy."

    The property was very modern, well equipped and we were particularly impressed with the shower room/bathroom with a heated floor and it would be very suitable for a disabled guest as there were a number of grab handles and no raised areas. We particularly enjoyed the area and we drove quite a few hundred miles exploring.

    Lovely property with everything you need for a relaxing stay remote enough if you want peace and quiet but within reach of a number of touristy destinations we thoroughly recommend visiting

  • "The property was perfect for us as a base to explore Scotland."

    The facilities were just right and gave us everything we needed. We mainly had breakfast there and ate out for the other meals . The quietness is perfect and we enjoyed the nesting housemartins, cows, sheep, pheasants and beautiful reed beds. The house is close to some lovely forest walks and a 15 minute drive to Forres which has plenty of supermarkets and pubs/restaurants. Washing supplies such as hand wash and shower gel are supplied to protect the reed beds so leave yours at home! A perfect place to relax and unwind.

  • "Overall very good but will be much better when grounds mature in a few years time."

    Minor niggles: 1. Microwave cooker set quite high on wall - plate was at my head height! Potentially dangerous when handling hot food. 2. Lack of kitchen utensils. 3. Overall could do with more storage space.

    Thank you for your comments, all feedback is useful for us, and it is clear why you would give a lower mark on facilities. However, it's not clear why you have marked the property down on Accuracy of Listing, Comfort, and particularly Cleanliness. We pride ourselves on how the property is presented and If there are any specific issues in those categories we would like to know. Property Owner

  • "Fabulous little cottage only a short drive up the hill from Forres."

    Everything is very thoughtfully put together with a special thought to the environment and makes the cottage feel very cozy. I especially enjoyed the lovely wood burner on a colder night. The kitchen has everything you might need for cooking, bed is very comfortable and bathroom very spacious. All in all, I can only recommend staying here to explore the area und enjoy the amenities of Easter Blervie!

    Thank you for the feedback, it's just how we hope, that guests can enjoy the surroundings and accomodation. Thank you also for leaving everything so clean and tidy. Property Owner

    And we had to learn how to use the air fryer and induction hob. The setting was wonderful, with great views of the Moray Firth. It was warm and comfortable. Friendly owners!

  • "The Welcome book is excellent and it is a great advantage that you can contact the owners, who live next door, if you have any problems."

    Blinds in the lounge/kitchen would add to the comfort. The owners plan to have a sign at the entrance to the property. Lowering the height of the TV could be considered and a teapot would be handy. A more substantial curtain at the front door might be of benefit. Mr and Mrs J McBeath

  • "The property was excellent."

    Lovely and clean and well presented. As others have said I would agree that some sort of blind is needed on the main entrance door as it is right opposite the bathroom. I would suggest that the radiator in the bedroom be able to be turned off as I did not like it coming on in the morning whilst I am asleep.

    Reviewed by Carol4.0★Jun 2024

  • "The lodge was lovely in a stunning area."

    With some beautiful locations nearby. The owners left us a nice welcome pack. As previous comments a door blind is greatly needed as this is open view to coming out of bedroom and wet room and also the lodge is now overlooked by a new build with workers onsite. We complained to the owner about privacy and noise issues and was told that Sykes knew of the change in circumstances but fail to provide pictures on their online website of the new build.. caravan ..portaloo and 2 shipping containers in full view from lodge windows. We couldn’t enjoy the decking area because of these issues. Overall a beautiful place but very disappointing.

    We are sorry this was your experience, we have always kept Sykes fully informed of the situation here. It's a valid comment about a blind, which we will look into. We have put screens up and planting that will give privacy in time, it is a newly built holiday let and the site is developing. The noise at the time, was neighbours two doors away strimming there garden. Property Owner

    Two things we think could make your stay even better would be, a freezer compartment for cool blocks and a blind on the front door. Thanks again for a fantastic stay, we will definitely come back again. Dave and Deb.

    We're glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for the feedback and clear suggestions. Sue and Rob Property Owner

The property

Forres 3.1 miles.

Easter Blervie, a stylish eco-lodge rests rurally on the outskirts of Forres, Moray.

Designed and built for sustainability, using locally sourced larch, natural insulation, organic paint throughout and an entirely natural reed bed. Privately set with its own decked area, open-plan living space, and off-road parking, Easter Blervie offers a well-appointed base for two guests, ideal for a couple's retreat to the countryside. Benefit from two parking spaces, unloading your belongings for your stay, before making your way through the pretty garden and up onto the decked area; take advantage of this space by dining alfresco, lighting the fire pit, and toasting to your retreat.

Indoors you will find a contemporary yet well-equipped living space, complete with a compact kitchen, a dedicated dining area, and plush seating, which you can sink into whilst delving into a good book or catching up with your latest programme; a rustling woodburning stove is on offer, to light on those cooler nights, ready to cosy up.

A sumptuous double bed serves the lodge, along with a handy wet room, where you can get ready over the coming days. Head into the nearby town of Forres; here you will find a whole host of amenities, from independent shops and supermarkets to taverns and cafes.

With endless beaches to explore along the Moray Coast, find the nearest, Findhorn Beach, to enjoy some fresh sea air, followed by a trip to the Heritage Centre.

The stunning, National Trust for Scotland property of Brodie Castle can be reached by car, hosting a range of events, tours, and nature spotting opportunities, or travel even further to Cawdor Castle and Gardens, with associations with Macbeth, rolling back to the 14th century.

Outdoor enthusiasts will relish in the chance to jump in the car and aim for the Cairngorm National Park, ready to summit the peaks, stroll around the lochs, and follow the hiking trails of this wonderful landscape, before returning home for sundowners.

Whisk your other half away for a tranquil escape to Easter Blervie.
