"Lovely cottage to stay - very clean & so well equipped."
Can’t fault it. We ended up travelling from different places with 3 cars. Rachel warned us that the garage was a tight fit but we parked a fiesta in there. We also didn’t have a problem parking the other 2 cars - the nearby parking area was very quiet while we were there. Many thanks to Rachel for such a superb holiday stay.

"We had a lovely stay at The Farm Steading for Christmas."
The accommodation is spotlessly clean and filled with everything you could possibly need and much more. The owners were very kind to contact me and give lots of extra information about the winter weather (providing salt for the ice), details about the heating etc. It was lovely that there was a Christmas tree and extra touches left for us which was much appreciated.

Beds were comfortable as well and i will be returning.

"We really enjoyed The Farm Steading."
The directions were excellent and we drove straight there. Inside the house was everything we could ever want and it was immaculate. Location was very quiet, you would never have guessed there was a school so close. We recommend The Macallan Distillery and the Speyside Cooperage as the best local attractions. The Aberlour Hotel does a good meal too.

About the location
ABERLOUR
Elgin 15 miles.
The pretty town of Aberlour lies on the banks of the River Spey, and is surrounded by wonderful open countryside, with the Cairngorm Mountains on one side and the Moray Firth coast on the other. Noted for its presence on the Whisky Trail and for Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival visitors will be stunned to realise that there are 50 whisky distilleries within a 15 mile radius of the town. Many of these distilleries are well worth a visit as they have excellent visitor centres with plenty of tasting on offer. The area is a magnet for fishermen with the River Spey so close by, whilst walkers will certainly appreciate the fabulous walks and wildlife they will encounter en route through the Speyside Way, one of the four official Long Distance Routes in Scotland. Aberlour is a great base for exploring this region of Scotland.
This property offers the following short breaks:
- Winter
- Off-season
