    The only BIG downside was that we were very excited about using the hot tub. However, the chemicals were not properly measured, and the chlorine (or whatever it was) was so strong it burned the kids skin and they had to get out after 10 minutes. The 2nd day I left the cover off and jets on for 40 minutes to assist in off-gassing, then tried again. The first layer of skin peeled off of my hands and feet the next day, and our 10 year old daughters hands. We have sadly experienced this once before so we know it is from FAR to many chemicals. When they are not measured and tested properly. Just dumping a bunch in after guests leave is NOT good. Sadly, it really shaded our experience at an otherwise nice place. I hope the housekeeper will be more careful in the future when maintaining the hot tub/ spa. our poor kiddo is still experiencing chapped skin from the chemical burn.

    Kitchen was very well equiped, kids loved the table tennis and loads of space for games, adults loved the cosy mezzanine and what a great selection of books! Totally recommend as a perfect retreat in the country. Easy to get to Findhorn east beach, Forres, Elgin and Lossiemouth for an explore then back to the house for a quiet evening and relax in the hot tub. Was just the holiday we needed, kids already asking when we're going back!

    Plenty of room for our family to enjoy our holiday. The hot tub was lovely and we all enjoyed using it. House is comfortable and well equipped. It is in a beautiful area with lovely beaches and plenty to see and do. We had a few issues. Two of the mattresses were uncomfortable due to feeling the springs but the memory foam ones were all very comfortable.The whirlpool bath jets kept putting out black dirty water. One of the patio doors did not lock. The water and ice maker on fridge did not work. The wifi was slow and kept dipping in and out. Sorry to be negative but feel it is important to be honest when reviewing. The owner did contact us by phone and the door lock was fixed. He informed us that the fridge problem would be repaired and the plumber would look at the bath but that would be after our holiday ended. Overall these issues did not spoil our holiday, they just caused a bit of disappointment.
