Close by are the glorious beaches of the Moray Firth with its resident dolphin population, golf courses galore, cliff top and forest walks, the Speyside whisky trail and many historic castles such as Brodie Castle and Cawdor Castle - this oft overlooked area of Scotland really has plenty for everyone.

- "First night we could not live in property as the central heating was unable to function due to no fuel, house was extremely cold, we moved to Elgin Travelodge. Moved in on second day, the electric was rusty inside and we bought new kettle and toaster. House needs deep clean and decorated. Lots of wires and cables lying around, we did’nt invite grandchildren as cables were too much of a safety risk. The internet broke down due to loose wire. Overall a disaster.

Only 3 miles from Elgin, this 150 year old isolated stone croft, built in 1850’s is decorated to a high standard with a modern country feel. Set in Scottish greenbelt, this is the perfect place for you, your family, and pet for a relaxing break, away from others but with great internet!

Lots of great walks, bike trails, golf courses, distilleries, beaches and many historical sights.

See 'The Space' for more info.

The space
Our 150 year old croft is a delightful highland home set amidst beautiful scenery. Get away from the busy world ... reconnect and feel renewed, enjoy the views all around the croft and breathe in the fresh Scottish air.

Romantic, secluded, and fabulous for families or small groups. Just as fitting for singles or a couple looking for some quiet rejuvenation but with excellent internet.

THE CROFT, first and foremost, is a holiday home, a calming retreat, a place of rejuvenation and celebration ....therefore, the order of the day is comfort, warmth, minimum fuss and most importantly authentic to the Scottish Highland living experience. We are proud to say the croft offers you excellent accommodation and furnishings while giving you a relaxed style and warmth of the home environment. There is very good Internet speed, very unusual for rural properties.

As we are pet friendly, all the floors are wooden or tiled, some original and some new, and most of the living room furniture is leather. This is paramount when people visit that do not have pets or who have slight allergies as one would never know pets stay there.

The interior design is authentic to the Highlands and respectful of the croft's character. It has been lovingly renovated and designed by me, I come from a luxury fashion industry background, and this is reflected in the selection of exceptional furnishings and finishes to make your stay special. Much thought has been put into anticipating your needs, providing warmth and comfort, but also keeping it practical for holidays, pets, and Highland life. I have selected beautiful pieces and local products such as lovely Johnson's of Elgin fabrics and an antique, solid oak church corner pew in the kitchen.

The croft features a large farmhouse kitchen, which has everything you need to make great homemade meals, including a double oven and a large table to bring everyone together. The kitchen has oak doors with beach tops and a tiled floor. The lighting has been designed so it is bright when cooking but warm and cosy when eating.

The living room features an old-fashioned wood burning stove. A large 4 seater leather settee, a fitted seat in the window above the radiator with various other eclectic seats and a warm oak wood floor. There is a 42" TV.

The bathroom has been designed with luxury in mind. There is a large powerful shower, a local piece of Elm has been polished to house the sink, and the wallpaper of doves and squirrels adds a touch of wimsy.

The Master bedroom has a king-size bed. The other two bedrooms have double beds with luxurious feather quilts and pillows with white cotton linen, and two have old painted wooden floors.

There are traditional yet modern cast iron radiators in all the rooms to continue the modern country feel.

The croft has wired smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, gas, electric an energy performance certification, and a fire extinguisher. There is a Nest to control the heating.

Outside, we have plenty of parking and a well enclosed garden to the back, so your dog will be safe at all times. There is a patio area with bench seating around a chimenia. There are two horses in the field next door, and if you are lucky, you may see deer in the field in the early mornings and/or at dusk. There is a resident barn owl that can often be seen sitting on a post by the side of the road and is heard tooting at night.

Guests have sole access to the whole property.

We are 1 mile from extensive woodland walks, 3 miles from major supermarkets, open 24 hours (even on Sundays!) and only 5 miles from beautiful sandy beaches where you can walk for miles & miles, enjoy the wildlife and breath in the fresh Scottish country air.

You will be left on your own to enjoy the peace and quiet of this home from home. I am always contactable through Airbnb, and I have a wonderful handyman and suburb, local, cleaner that are on hand should they be needed.

Guest access

Excess by digital lock (Code given out on booking)

Other things to note
Please note there is only one shower room.

Although I am happy to host children please be aware this is an old croft with some origional floor boards so crawling children may not be safe. There is nothing specifically set up for young children and there is a wood burning stove and large stones boardering the garden.

The two generously proportioned, double bedrooms (both with king sized double beds) are situated on the ground floor, along with both of the bathrooms, therefore making it easier for those with more limited mobility.
The bathrooms have been renovated to a high standard - each has a walk in shower and the larger bathroom also boasts a beautiful roll top bath.

The two twin bedrooms are located on the first floor, along with a wee snug. The snug is an ideal room for children/teens. It also has a desk so is good for those who may need to shut themselves away to work.

The large, bright sitting room with a wood burning stove for cosy nights in. We provide complimentary logs from the Estate for the stove and the fire bowl outside.

The farm house kitchen has a big central table seating 8 - perfect for those long, lazy dinners with family or friends. It is fully equipped so ideal for those who like to cook when they are away. There is a separate utility room with plenty of space to dry laundry.

The grassed, south facing garden also benefits from views of Duffus Castle. It has seating for 8, BBQ and a fire pit.

Guest access
You have access to the entire property. The farmhouse is situated beside some barns which are still occasionally used by the local farmer so the odd tractor may pass by the house.

Other things to note
We welcome up to 2 dogs - we simply ask that they are kept off the furniture, out of the bedrooms and any dog mess is cleared up in the garden.
