• "We loved our stay at Lily Collie’s."

  The owner was very warm and friendly and had paid great attention to the comfort and decor of the cottage. The interior was beautifully coordinated with cool blues and whites and very harmonious natural specimens and small animal prints. The large garden was a bonus and being able to walk from the cottage onto the Speyside Way down to the estuary and Moray Coastline was very special.

• "We loved our week at Lily Collie's!"

  We were using the cottage a base to go to Speyfest in Fochabers but stayed a full week to explore the surrounding Moray Coast area which is beautiful. The cottage was well equipped with a very large garden and lots of walks from the doorstep. It only took us about 40 minutes to walk down the Speyside Way to the Dolphin Visitor Centre on the coast. I would highly recommend both the cottage and the surrounding area for walks, wildlife and amazing views.

  Warm, cosy and welcoming. It was my birthday when I was there, and the owner, Lindsay, left a cake with a candle and a lovely card for me! Very thoughtful and kind. We met due to a minor mishap which she swiftly dealt with and couldn't have been more charming or friendly. The beds were so comfortable, we didn't want to get up, and I will definitely be buying a duck down duvet for ourselves now...SO warm and snuggly! Bogmoor is not far from everywhere you might want to visit...coast or town, but feels as if it's in the middle of nowhere...so quiet and peaceful. I would recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a perfect getaway in the northeast of Scotland. You won't regret it.

• "We have had a lovely week at Lily Collie’s."

  What a real gem of a cottage! On arrival we met Lindsay who was just lovely. Lindsay had prepped the fire and had the kettle on ready for us after our long journey. The place was spotlessly clean and had everything that we could have possibly needed. A real home from home. Pride really has been taken throughout this cottage and it shows in its presentation. Thank you for the extra touches like including bread, milk, butter, tea, coffee etc meaning that we did not have to rush out. There was even an unexpected pack for our dog. We have been on so many amazing walks, explored within the local area and beyond and yet there was still so much more we could have explored, we didn’t feel ready to come home. There really is plenty to do, such a lovely area to stay and such a lovely cosy cottage to stay in. Having the cottage to come back to and cosying up in front of the fire was a real treat. Feeling very rested and relaxed after our much needed break. Thank you for having us stay at your impeccable cottage.

  The village itself is so quiet and peaceful, with just a distant roar of the ocean and the occasional crow breaking the silence. Central to some fantastic small seaside villages and coves as well as the dolphin spotting and northern lights from the local beach. I should also mention the generous host with some extra wee touches that shows she has great pride in Lilys ......and so she should.

  We felt welcomed by all the little extras, flowers in the bedroom, cotton wool etc for your make up, the thoughtful milk eggs & bread as well as tea and coffee enabled us not to have to dash out shopping straight away and the bowls & treats for our dog were a kind gesture. The cottage was well maintained and immaculately clean. There was nothing that hadn’t been carefully considered. The bed and and sofas were super comfortable and the log fire that had already been made ready to light made it difficult to leave the cottage to explore the surrounding area. I truly wish the cottage was closer to us so we could visit more often for a weekend escape

• "Very very disappointing."

  We found the house to be dirty. Crockery and utensils were not properly cleaned and the floor throughout the house was covered in a previous guests hair/pet hair. We were also told to wait an hour after the check in time due to the owner not having time to get the house ready. We left a day early due to appliances not working and the house being cold. After discussing this with the owner, who was difficult to contact, she denied there were any issues with the property. We won’t be returning.

  Hi Peter It’s safe to say I was very, very disappointed to read your review. I wish you had agreed to meet with me at the cottage to look at and discuss your issues. I would like to address each of your concerns. ‘We found the house to be dirty’ I can categorically say this was not the case. The guests we had staying over Christmas, just prior to your stay, were extremely courteous and left the cottage in an immaculate state and exceptionally clean and tidy. I take my time to thoroughly clean the cottage after each stay, to my high and exacting standards. This meant a double vacuum prior to your arrival and floors washed. Every surface is dusted, washed and polished to a sparkling finish. ‘Crockery and utensils were not properly cleaned’ Unfortunately I didn’t check the crockery prior to your arrival but I can confirm all utensils were clean. We have a dishwasher that does a very good job. It’s just over one year old and we provide well known, branded detergent tablets. I will endeavour to check crockery from now on to ensure it meets my standards. ‘We were told to wait an hour after check in time’ Unfortunately I advised you at 12.30 that your check in time would unavoidably have to be pushed back by an hour to 4pm. This was due to me having to care for our seriously ill child and our injured pet had to go to the vet. At the time you said this was ok and wished my son a speedy recovery. I’m sorry your check in was delayed. This is something I never like to do but I was unable to prevent this. I’m flexible with our guests and provide earlier check ins/later check outs where possible. I would’ve given you a later check out by way of apology. I also left some NY treats such as sparkling wine, snacks and sweets amongst others that I hoped would help make amends. ‘We left a day early due to appliances not working’ I’m sorry the tumble drier isn’t working. I wasn’t aware of this until after you left. I have sought an engineer to fix it or will have it replaced if this isn’t possible. If the large clothes airer wasn’t sufficient to meet your needs I would’ve happily let you have access to my own personal tumble drier or directed you to a launderette, at my expense. ‘The house being cold’ Our cottage may date from the early 1800’s with nearly 1 meter thick walls to keep the heat in in the winter and to keep it cool in the summer but it’s also been recently renovated. It’s fully kitted out with high performance insulation and electric panel radiators that provide instant heat to your desired temperature. We also have our quality Norwegian wood burning stove. Our shed was devoid of a large amount of seasoned firewood we provide for our guests use following your stay. If this was burned during your stay I’d imagine (and have experienced) the environment to be toasty. Indeed many of our return bookings come off season in the winter months. I doubt they’d like to return to a cold house. ‘The owner was difficult to contact’ Unfortunately due to my parental responsibilities during a period of extreme ill health I was unable to answer my phone when you called. I did return your calls within 20 minutes. You made a number of calls on your last day and indeed in one of your calls you told me that I had great reviews and you were willing to not leave a negative review if I were to provide you with a refund. I felt a little intimidated by this but I didn’t provide you with a refund due to me not entirely agreeing with all the issues you raised with Sykes and myself. I would like to point out there was a number of inconsistencies and some disparity with these. If there are people reading your review Peter, I would ask them to instead focus on all the other glowing reviews we have which include quotes such as ‘spotlessly clean’, ‘attention to detail’, ‘best holiday cottage we have stayed in’, ‘comfortable’, ‘cosy’, ‘communication with the owner was excellent’ etc and ask them to consider these when thinking about booking our cottage for a relaxing and memorable (for all the right reasons!) break. It’s unfortunate your review and scoring has knocked our star place on Sykes website down from a 5 and Perfect. I put a great deal of thought and hard work into ensuring our wee cottage is big on delivering the best holiday accommodation in a noteworthy location. I would like to note that I do appreciate constructive feedback when I feel it’s accurate and would use this to further develop our cottages facilities and my hosting skills. This would benefit all concerned. Regards, Lindsay Property Owner

  The owners are so kind and thoughtful towards their guests. The amenities are great, the cottage is warm, comfortable and very clean. When we arrived at our destination, there was a lovely 'welcome pack' including shortbread, hot chocolate, marshmallows, butter, marmalade, milk, bread and fresh eggs. Even the dog had a welcome basket waiting for him with warm blankets, dog bowls and dog biscuits. These things were an unexpected bonus and a very lovely thoughtful touch. We have stayed at many cottages for short breaks and holidays and never had the same kind of welcome anywhere. It was lovely. If that wasn't enough, on Easter Sunday, we had a box of chocolate eggs delivered outside the front door. These gestures are over and above and what makes a holiday very memorable. Highly recommend Lily Collie's. Great place for walking, cycling, sight-seeing, or just relaxing, etc. We loved it.
