Lhandryde is a picturesque village located east of Elgin in the Moray region. St Andrews, the village's welcoming bar, and a charming main street with a convenience store make this a peaceful and pleasant place to visit. Aside from its proximity to Elgin, Lhandryde's natural beauty and abundance of cycling trails make it a popular destination for those who enjoy the great outdoors. There are several whisky distilleries in the nearby historic town of Elgin, just four miles away, where you can sample some of Scotland's famous whiskey.

Thank you for providing the snow during our stay it made a grate stay even better. My only gripe is that the lighting in the kitchen is not the best the cooker took an age to warm up and the hot water ran out quickly, but may I be so bold to suggest a few changes you may wish to do (and save on running cost) change the booster pump shower to a full electric shower and install a Multipoint water heater for the taps removing the need to have a hot water storage tank, change the cooker to an electric oven and a induction hob and replace the LED lamps you have from 1st-2nd gen to new 5th gen units.

If we had known we would not have booked. Sofa was so uncomfortable that we had to sit on the dining chairs. TV situated far too hogh - gave neck ache looking at it. Bed was rather uncomfortable. Nice location.
