This was our 3rd time staying at Shedend. Such a great cottage in a great location near the sea and only a few miles from Elgin for all the shops. Very clean and tidy, and a lovely place to stay.

lovely little cottage just ideal for us, as soon as we walked through the door we felt well relaxed. 5 minutes drive from the beach and nearest golf course half an hour from Elgin and easy driving to the local spots of interest.
