It was very comfortable fort two of us staying. I think the living room, though comfortable ,would be small if 6 people were staying. Itâs a great base for exploring the Moray coast and people in the area are super friendly. Overall, we had a lovely relaxing week

Tastefully modernised, decorated and furnished. Extremely well equipped. Comfortable. Good location. Dog friendly and with sea-side walks, a few metres from front door. Excellent communications and instructions from owners. WiFi, Television and heating systems are very good. We have booked a lot of self catering accommodation over many years - this ranks amongst the best. Owners have obviously put a lot of thought and effort into bringing this high quality cottage to the rental market. I would highly recommend, and book again. We were just a couple, and puppy. So had no need to even venture upstairs. Would be very comfortable for 4 and even six. You could book this property safely and not be disappointed.
