What our customers say about their holidays

  This is a lovely place, really modern and nicely decorated.

  Everything was really clean and tidy and whilst it was compact it was light and airy due to the patio doors letting in loads of light. Everything you could want for a weeks stay was provided, along with milk. tea. coffee and a lovely packet of local shortbread. The owners were not there when we arrived and I eventually got instructions to use the key out of the "lockbox", the owners it transpired were away themselves and arrived home a few days later, they made us aware of their presence but left us alone and were not intrusive whatsoever. I had read a review that said someone didn't like being "on show" and I can see why that would be as this property is at the entrance to a caravan park and there were lots of people walking past due to taking their dogs a walk from the site and there are two big patio doors on the front of the property, however, we did get over this by parking our (large) car across the front of the property which meant that we still got the light but not the people staring, I consider this was an easy option so not something that would put us off staying here again. If I had one problem it was that the beds were rather flimsy, ok for someone who is slight and under average weight but unfortunately we are not and we were concerned enough about this that we "made alternative" arrangements for sleeping in the property. That said, I would not hesitate to return to the property in the future.

  Stayed here for a short break which was lovely and relaxing.

  Good location just outside Aberlour, which is walkable distance from the cottage. Description and photos needs updating the sofa has been changed from what is in the photos to two 2-seater sofas that were comfortable initially but towards the end of our 4 night stay were hurting my back. The beds were comfortable and we had a good nights sleep every night. Plenty of facilities in the cottage, although the description said games and all we could find was a pack of cards. Plenty of books and literature though plus the television to keep you entertained. Upon arrival the outside lights weren't working which made it very dark and difficult to find the key (also seemed to set off loads of dogs barking when I was looking for it). FIrst morning the shower drain was blcoekd and water flooded the wet room (thankfully it was a wet room) managed to clear as much as possible and then informed owners who cleared it and it was fine after that. Although property is right next to the owners we didn't seem them at all (except to mention the shower). Lovely peaceful location and we did enjoy our stay despite a few niggles. I would stay here again but oinly for a short break, by the fourth night I was ready to come home.

  The location was ideal and the size of the cottage was ideal but, it was dirty.

  The hob top was smeared with grease and the cooker had never been cleaned. The hard floor had not been washed and the large rug covering most of the seating area was absolutely filthy, never been hoovered and stained. Dishes in the cupboard were dirty with baked on food and we had very limited amount of pans .Food from previous occupants was left in the cupboards The non stick frying pan had lost most of its coating and was not fit to use. When we arrived there was no heating on and no instructions as to how to put the radiators on we had to call someone round and even then there were no clear instructions .The shower was very poor. The bread bin had so much dust on top you could have written your name in it. The bedding was clean and we were left a pint of milk ! As someone who cleans holiday lets this was way below par, and in the light of the current pandemic this was totally unacceptable. I think we should be given some of our money back. Your advertising states that extra measures are being taken due to Covid but, this was not the case. The holiday let I clean is deep cleaned between each occupancy and then all touch points treated with antiviral spray , this place was filthy. Marie Louise Rushton

  The booking process itself through Sykes was extremely easy, quick and user-friendly.

  A comprehensive confirmation was sent to us including several details from the owners. Details of location, parking and key pickups was also provided making the arrival at the cottage very straightforward. The cottage itself was immaculate and the welcome basket was indeed very welcoming! It even included treats for our dogs! Beds were comfortable and warm with lots of wardrobe and drawer space if required. Kitchen and bathroom were both spotless and had plenty of storage. Our only niggle was the shower. The pressure was very poor and we both had to use it as a hand spray. The temperature was good though and I don’t know if perhaps we didn’t use it properly. Would suggest perhaps that it is checked out anyway. I have chosen not to mark the cottage down because of the shower though because in every other way it was perfect and I highly recommend. Thank you very much ❤️

  This is a lovely modern cottage.

  The furniture is modern with clean lines and has been thoughtfully decorated. However , is only big enough for 2 even though it states in the description that it’s big enough for 4. The bed was a bit uncomfortable, this could really do with replacing. The description is a bit misleading- the cottage is very close to the sea, but you are not able to walk on the beach because it is mainly rocks. However, a 10 minute walk brings you to a sandy/rocky beach you can walk on. I you can easily get to other areas by car. We went to Loch Ness but unfortunately didn’t see Nessy. Although parking is on a first come first served basis, we didn’t have any problems finding a space. It is on a narrow street, and you do tend to bump into the neighbours as you are coming and going, but they are very friendly (and love dogs). The welcome hamper was lovely, and appreciated by both humans and dogs ❤️
