This was my 2nd stay at this lovely cottage. The cottage is small but perfectly adequate for one or two people. It was very clean and had everything you could want for a holiday stay. The owner was very welcoming and friendly and had left milk, biscuits, and a floral decoration for the guests use, which was very welcome after a long journey!Aberlour is a lovely area and the cottage is in the perfect position to explore the local highlights, the river Spey and the Speyside way, Linn Falls and the local woods which are teeming with wildlife.I am already looking forward to my return.
