Guests say
Auldfield Cottage receives high praise for its spotlessly clean, spacious, and well-equipped accommodation in a peaceful location near Elgin. Guests appreciate the homely atmosphere, excellent kitchen, and thoughtful information pack. The property is ideal for families and those exploring Moray, with easy access to local amenities and attractions. While a few minor suggestions were made regarding basic supplies and some furnishings, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests returning for repeat stays.
Multiple reviews highlight the cottage as spotlessly clean and well-presented, with no significant complaints about cleanliness. Only one review mentioned a need for a little TLC to freshen up rooms, but this did not detract from the overall impression.
Guests consistently praise the quiet, scenic location with countryside views and convenient access to Elgin, local shops, and attractions. The setting is described as peaceful and ideal for exploring both coast and inland areas.
The cottage is frequently described as homely, spacious, and comfortable, with particular mention of comfortable beds and sofas. One review noted some wear on sofas and mattresses, but most guests found the accommodation very comfortable.
The property is repeatedly described as well-equipped, with a superior kitchen, two bathrooms, and ample space for families. Minor suggestions included providing more basic supplies (e.g., dishwasher tablets, bin liners), but overall, facilities are highly rated.
Guests appreciated the detailed welcome pack, clear instructions, and, in some cases, a welcome bottle of wine. However, as gifts such as wine are not guaranteed, future guests should not expect them as standard. Suggestions for basic amenities like milk and condiments were noted.

The stunning scenery both inland towards the Cairngorms and on the sunny Moray Coast reflects the diverse landscape and beauty of this part of Scotland. Shop and pub ½ mile, restaurant 1 mile.

This cottage if of a very high standard having all the requirements for a pleasant and comfortable stay. The two bathrooms are a particularly great asset, especially when there is more than two guests. Has a nice homely atmosphere in quiet surrounds. Easy access to main town of Elgin and many places of interest. Only a few short miles from coastal towns and beaches
