We wanted to visit our family in the area but still have some privacy and opportunity to go back to our favourite places
The Cabin was just perfect for this-very comfortable and peaceful with a beautiful view of the Castle-our little dog very much enjoyed the freedom and smells in the garden
The Cabin is very well appointed and we appreciated the lovely Welcome Pack that was waiting for us when we arrived-we hope to return

The cabin lived up to all expectations. Very comfortable with a wonderful view of Duffus Castle. Very comfortable bed and everything in the cabin was top quality. The basket of local produce was lovely. The garden was very private. There are good walks around the estate, which we did in the evenings. Would definitely recommend it and hope to return some time.

The Eco Cabin is a very liveable space. Particularly enjoyed the huge windows looking out onto Duffus Castle, the decking area with a lovely choice of seating. Appreciated the enclosed garden and adjacent parking too.
Inside the cabin is very well kitted-out and comfortable. Bertie the spaniel enjoyed the enclosed garden and the views from inside during the evening. Lovely variety of bird life in the area too.

A beautiful peaceful place, such a lovely view to wake up to! Couldn’t ask for more on that score.
Welcome basket was a lovely treat after a long drive and late arrival, also not having had chance to visit the supermarket on the way. Only criticism is we arrived desperate to put the kettle on and take a deep breath, however despite there being milk in the fridge (as we had read in a previous review), there wasn’t any t.bags, coffee or anything else similar. So a glass of water sufficed until we shopped in the morning.
Would stay again, but we would be more prepared next time.

Hi Paula, thanks for your comments. Apologies our housekeeping team missed out the teabags. We generally leave a little jar with some in so you can have a refreshing cuppa when you arrive. I am pleased to hear you still enjoyed your stay in the cabin.
Perfect Stay

We stayed for a relaxing two nights and absolutely loved it. The cabin was done to a high standard, and felt luxurious, with great views of the castle and surrounded by nature. The welcome basket was also a lovely touch. We were blessed with great weather so could enjoy sitting out in the secure garden with the dogs, and by the campfire in the evening. We found it great value for money too given the level of amenities on offer.
Would highly recommend

What a stunning place. If you want peace and quiet but easy access for things to do look no further. Caroline the owner was so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed, sat on the veranda looking at the castle having a coffee first thing was bliss. Will recommend to everyone.

Loved our time in the cabin. It was easy to find, plenty of room to park. The outside space was perfect for our dog to run around safely. The view from the cabin was stunning. The walks around the estate were full of nature. Although there were lots of people accessing the castle you never felt over looked or disturbed by them. Would thoroughly recommend if you want a peaceful getaway with all the home comforts

Thanks for your comments Sarah. Yes, the castle is a popular spot to visit but the situation of the cabin allows you to enjoy the view without being overlooked. I am delighted to hear you explored the Estate and managed to spot some of our local wildlife.
Perfect Spot!

We loved the Cabin by the Castle. Everything provided that we needed, beautiful interior and wonderful peaceful surroundings. The firepit and barbecue made for an enjoyable evening with all wood and firelighters provided.

This was our third stay at the Cabin - and hopefully not the last! Very pet friendly, great facilities, quiet and relaxing with plenty to explore locally if you can tear yourself away from the comfort of the Cabin. I would recommend a visit at any time of year.

The cabin was far more substantial than we expected, both in the amount of space and in the quality of fixtures and fittings.
The view is a constant, which is stunning, There’s lots of light, and a very positive feel to the cabin.
Several towns with remarkable beaches, shops, cafes and restaurants are in less than 15min drive : Hopeman, Burghead, Lossiemouth.
We’ll be back.
