About this property
Nestled in the picturesque fishing village of Findhorn in Moray, Scotland is this delightful two-bedroom, first-floor apartment. Aurora View enjoys spectacular views of The Moray Firth & beyond. It is the prime location in the UK to view the Northern Lights given the right atmospheric conditions & a clear sky. However even if you are not lucky enough to see The Northern Lights, from the apartment you will get to sit in comfort and enjoy watching for wildlife including gannets, seals and dolphins. Aurora View enjoys a wonderful location just moments from Findhorn's beautiful sandy beach, as well as offering fabulous views looking out over the sand dunes and towards the bay, Aurora View makes for an idyllic dwelling for two couples or a family of four looking to explore this fantastic part of Scotland. Park up in the allocated off-road resident parking space, before unloading your bags and making your way through the shared entrance and up to the first floor to begin your holiday. Be welcomed into the spacious open-plan living space, where you can look forward to rustling up flavourful meals for your guests in the well-equipped kitchen, with the help of the electric oven, ceramic hob, grill, fridge, microwave and a dishwasher, ensuring cleaning up is a breeze! Settle down at the dining table for four as you tuck-in to a delicious meal over a bottle of wine and discuss plans for the days ahead. After a satisfying meal, retreat to the plush sofa where you can snuggle up in front of a much-loved TV series with your favourite tipple. Wash away the day with an indulgent soak in the bath or a refreshing shower, before popping on fresh pyjamas and catching your rest in one of two well-presented bedrooms, a king-size and a twin, both with plenty of storage for your belongings. Awake from a leisurely slumber and prepare for the day in style, before rustling up a morning coffee ready to enjoy on the communal lawn as you take in the impressive views. Explore the local area, where you will find a good selection of eateries right on your doorstep, including Findhorn Bakery, The Kimberley Inn & The Captain's Table, ideal for those evenings where you don't feel like cooking!

In the past, Findhorn was a bustling fishing port, and it still maintains strong ties to the sea, with a large portion of the village's activities centred around the bay and the Royal Findhorn Yacht Club situated on the waterfront.
The Gulf Stream's influence on the area's mild climate makes it a popular tourist destination.The Findhorn Foundation's Ecovillage and international centre for holistic education are perhaps its most well-known features.

1-During our stay we experienced cold high winds, the flat is an open living area with kitchen, dining and living area in the same space. The cold high winds caused a very strong draft to come through the extractor fan resulting in a very cold living space, boosting the heating was not sufficient enough to counteract the draft. 2-My wife and I work hard and save our money to enable us to take a holiday and get away from the stresses, strains and chores of everyday life. I received an email from you the day before our holiday was over directing that we remove all bedding, sheets, pillow cases duvet covers etc and place them in the bath. I did complete the tasks you asked (after getting grief from my wife) but I am not happy about this. Surely you employ a cleaner who comes in after guests leave to ensure the flat is clean and ready for the next guests, is that not why check out is at 10 and check in at 5? I do take a holiday expecting to do the job of a cleaner or anyone else.

Deer in the gardens and Dolphins and seals nearby. A chance to see the Northern lights if you are lucky. Could do with a four slice toaster as a two slice is not practical
