Guests say
March Brown is a well-received holiday cottage in Fochabers, praised for its tranquillity, comfort, and stunning location. Guests have enjoyed the local walks, the well-equipped and comfortable house, and the thoughtful touches like a welcome box. Some minor feedback on kitchen tidiness and outdated local information was noted.
The property is described as very clean, with one mention of untidy cupboards and drawers. Overall, guests seem satisfied with the cleanliness.
The location is consistently praised for its quietness and proximity to lovely walks and the coast, indicating a high level of satisfaction.
Guests find the house very comfortable, with special mentions of the rooms and equipment, suggesting a high degree of comfort.
While guests are happy with the equipment and mention a welcome box, there is insufficient information on the overall maintenance of facilities to provide a score.
The mention of a 'Welcome box' suggests thoughtfulness, but as gifts are not guaranteed, this should be considered a pleasant addition rather than an expectation.

The house is very comfortable though knowing that we had logs for one fire we felt that an information sheet letting us know where we could buy logs also information sheet for kitchen appliances. Although the kitchen was very clean the cupboards and drawers were untidy. Also the information given needs to be updated Baxter’s has been closed for about 5 years, the cafe is only open as and when and hotel is now self catering accommodation. All that aside we did enjoy the wonderful walks in the area.
