About this property
This charming, mid-terrace cottage lies in the town of Elgin in Scotland, providing an idyllic base for a group of four looking to escape everyday life. With amenities within walking distance and the coast just a short drive away, 38 The Views provides a great base from which to discover Scotland. Step into the entrance hallway and hang up your coats before heading into the sitting room to begin your relaxing retreat, snuggled up together on the sofas in front of the television for a quiet evening indoors before your fun-filled days ahead. Move through to the kitchen/diner, offering a contemporary space to prepare your meals, whether it be an afternoon snack or hearty supper, you’ll have everything you need here. Step outside and relish in the enclosed garden, offering patio furniture which is perfect for alfresco dining, along with a lawned area. As the evening draws to a close, head upstairs to the bedrooms, offering two doubles presented with plush duvets and ample storage, along with a shower room where you can start each day with a refreshing rinse. Elgin is a lovely town which hosts a good selection of amenities, including many shops and eateries, along with attractions such as the old museum, Cathedral, gardens and the River Lossie to explore. Those history buffs will enjoy visiting Cawdor and Brodie Castles, while the haunting battle at Culloden is unmissable. Venture to Inverness for excellent shopping facilities, visit while a little further afield lies Loch Ness where you can enjoy some of Scotland’s finest scenery and picturesque walks. Lossiemouth is also well worth a visit with its stunning golf course and golden expanses, it’s no wonder many call it the ‘jewel of the Moray Firth’. Sample everything that Moray and the magnificent Highlands have to offer during your stay at 38 The Views. EPC Rating: Band C
Elgin is Scotland’s smallest city hosting many attractions in an Area of Outstanding Beauty. Nestled along the banks of the River Lossie, the city has grown and flourished and has grand stone buildings and of course the famous cathedral which dates back to the 13th century. Other places of interest in the area include many distilleries, Elgin Museum and Baxters of Fochabers. For walkers, the Speyside Way footpath provides a network of paths with sea views.

Christine
Short walk to town centre. Designated parking space was very useful. There was a lot of kitchen equipment, meaning it was difficult to find enough storage space for our own food. It was good to have a large fridge/freezer. We couldnât find information about bin collection day, but spotted when neighbours put theirs out. Couldnât get washing machine to work as instructions incomplete, so rang owner to find out. We do not have sky at home, and there were no instructions. Took a couple of days to work out how to use the various remotes, but never managed to get tv in bedroom to work. Enjoyed our stay very much, loved visiting the coastal villages and lovely beaches. Enjoyed the lack of traffic, easy and free parking, and lots of loos! Elgin cathedral very interesting. Would like to explore more of this coastline.

Every little thing had been thought of and provided. The house was spotless and so comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are already planning to book again for next year. Elgin is a good base for touring the local area as itâs central to many places and there is also a good train line for the days you want to give the car a rest.
