Gorgeous little cottage, amazing location, it really is only a minute walk from the beach. We saw lots of wildlife - osprey and sea eagle as well as seals. Lindsay and Andy the housekeeper and site manager were so friendly and helpful. Beautiful place to stay and we had a very relaxing week. We hope to come again.

Beautiful location by Findhorn bay. The Bothy is far more than a bothy - very tastefully decorated, comfy bed, all mod cons, good heating and woodburner, friendly and helpful hosts, and very peaceful. We look forward to staying there again.

Extremely comfortable place , with around a 200 yard walk to see the birds and mammals on the estuary, and plenty of walks and strolls from the door, along the coast and through Culbin Forest. Enjoyed both Findhorn village, and the Pictish Fort at Burghead.

Very comfortable and enjoyable stay. A great location. Just a stones throw from the beach and some lovely walks. The bothy was clean, well furnished and had everything we could wish for. The wood burning stove made it even more comfortable on the cooler evenings. Lots to do in the area and great support and advice from Andy. Wed love to come back.

A perfect break: the combination of the location (edge of Findhorn Bay with Culbin Forest behind), a private estate setting (gorgeous gardens), comfort (wood burner, cosy chairs and amazing bed!) and peace and quiet was just what was needed.
