Most guests find the cottage comfortable and cosy, though one review cites a less comfortable experience due to a mix-up with another property, which slightly lowers the score.

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.

Lovely wee cottage in excellent location to explore Speyside’s many delights. Received a warm welcome from the owner and everyone we met on our travels was friendly and helpful. We had a fantastic holiday and hope to return to this beautiful part of Scotland in the near future. Great to have walks/cycles practically from the doorstep.
