The property was very well maintained and furnished.Everything was as expected. The only problem was lack of information about local amenities.where supermarkets, eating out possibilities were,and local places of interest were..Overall we were very impressed with the property.

Nether Dallochy is 7 minutes by car from all amenities in Fochabers. Shedend is in an excellent, quiet location from which all of the main Moray Coast locations can easily be reached. Also the access to the rural hinterland of Moray, Banff and Aberdeenshires is easy and excellent. No Wi-Fi is no problem.The accommodation is neat and tidy and has had a bit of a refresh since our last visit a couple of years ago.

Lovely cottage, bigger than expected. Beds were comfortable, but double one was on the small side for us.Unfortunately, our visit was cut short as tragedy struck 2 days into our week stay (nothing to do with cottage) The owner was friendly to deal with. Sad ending to what would have been a great week I'm sure.
