Don't come to Strathlene if you're expecting a modern, " grey ", wet walled etc property. This is a clean Victorian property, warm, loads of hot water, everything you need to enjoy a week or two with the sea literally lapping at the back of the property. Moray Coastal Path at the front door with access to East and West trails.Owners leave a wee bit of everything to get you going on your holiday.Enjoyed our week with our two wee dogs.

We had an amazing week at the lodge. The location is stunning, just a few steps on to the beach, where you really can see seals. We were lucky enough to be able to see the northern lights from the bedroom windows. The house has got everything you need, a cosy home-from-home even in the middle of winter. The perfect base to explore this part of Scotland.
