Nice little cottage located on Aberlour High Street so close to all amenities & very welcoming host who lives in the house behind. There is parking around the back of the property but didn't need to use as I had no issues parking on the street outside. Plenty of nice walks in the local area plus plenty of other visitor attractions within easy driving distance & there is a local hourly bus service to Elgin and Dufftown.
