Dog Friendly Cottages In Moray

Reviews

What our customers say about their holidays

• Laura - Verified booking

  We've stayed in a lot of self catering holiday cottages in Scotland and this was well below the standard we are used to.

  There was a leftover dog toy which obviously belonged to a previous visitor under one of the chairs which doesn't give you much confidence the place has been cleaned thoroughly. The beds (and a lot of the other furniture) were old and worn and not that comfortable. Bedding and linen was fine but the beds need replacing. The bathrooms were also in need of an update, very basic and a bit shabby looking. There is a lovely big garden but the only outdoor seating was an old bench and table, it would be nice to have some proper outdoor seating so you can make the most of the garden/eat outside of the weather is nice. The cottage was well equipped with all the basics and location was great but some investment is needed to upgrade the furniture/bathrooms to make this a more enjoyable holiday cottage.

  The decor and facilities in the cottage are now very tired.

  This is typified by significant mould around both shower enclosures. (which is actually visible in the cottage publicity photos). The crockery and glass has numerous pieces which are chipped and therefore unsanitary. The cleanliness of the cooker and glass doors look as though the cleaning has been rushed, for example an unwashed pan. There is a poor overall smell in the cottage, probably old cooking smells, necessitating the purchase of fragrance candles. The positioning of the cottage although very close to the village is let down by needing to walk along a non side pathed grass verge. This means any visit to the excellent hotel has a less than pleasant walk back All in all not the best of places to stay.

  The only reason I wouldn't book this cottage again is that it is so far for us to travel.

  The location is stunning and everybody is really friendly. However there are really very few places you can go in if you have dogs. There is only one pub in Findochty which only allows dogs in the public bar not the lounge where the large dining area is so if you want to eat there you either have to sit outside which is fine if the weather is good or they have one small table in the bar which is also quite a small space dominated by a pool table, the views from the outside seating are amazing though. The most dog friendly place we found locally was Portsoy where there is a small cafe where dogs are allowed both inside and outside., and in the marble shop in the 17th century harbour.

  Not deep cleaned to a suitable standard.

  Both outside and inside required money spent and attention to detail on level of cleanliness and tidiness. I felt the property had been charged out at the highest price with as little spent on it as possible. The list was long but to find cobwebs and dead flies behind the curtains , poor cleanliness in the bathrooms and dust around the skirtings and window sills was something no one should have missed. As a family we choose many cottage holidays often several a year and Sykes is one of our go to companies. I am not in the habit of giving poor feedback but I felt this property was letting the normal high standards down. Maybe some form of inspection is over due.

  Me and my girlfriend have been to a few cabins and this is one of the best ones we have been to. The hot tub has amazing view of the highland hills and the night sky. The owners are really nice and incredibly welcoming and helpful. We were told that we were the first ever guests at the cabin so we went in expecting a few things to not be fully sorted out yet. But considering that, we had no real complaints. There was no sharp knifes and no shampoo or body wash but a quick drive to shop and that’s sorted. It is definitely one of our favourite cabins we have ever been to and we would definitely stay there again and would highly recommend it.
