Another excellent stay at March Brown. The accommodation has everything you need for a relaxing and tranquil break and the views across the nearby Spey valley are simply sublime. It’s the perfect base for exploring the Moray region, be it wonderful open countryside, cosy local towns and villages or sweeping coastal vistas. Highly recommended.

Cracking house to rent. Very clean and comfortable, enclosed garden with seating areas plus grassed area out the back. Lovely gardens and driveway to front. Large sitting room and dining area, kitchen well equipped. Two lovely bedrooms both with televisions. Everything you need is in house. Garmouth is lovely and quiet great for walking dogs. Coffee shop just a short stroll from house. We didn't use it but it's close. Nearest shop is in mosstodloch few miles away. Mostly you will pass this on your way back to Garmouth. Elgin about 8 miles away, Buckie around 10 miles. Great areas around you. Cracking beaches at Roseisle, Lossiemouth etc. We had a great week away here with two dogs house and area perfect.
