• "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Annfield."

  The cottage has everything you would generally require for a stay with scottish rustic charm. It provided us an excellent and comfortable base from which to explore speyside, the moray coast and further afield. We found the property to be clean and in good order as per the description. Like any property, admittedly, it does require some domestic repairs e.g., the upstairs bathroom wall (dark green behind the bath) needs re painting as it was peeling badly. But these are very minor things and would not put us off from visiting again. It was perfect for our family of four and dog. Thr grounds of the house are extensive and provided an excellent safe area for our children and dog. We would definitely return and book Annfield again.

• "We enjoyed our stay very much and loved the grounds."

  We were comfortable and warm and slept very well in the extremely comfortable bed.The property affords great privacy and was quiet and peaceful.We serviced the feeder every day and were rewarded with over a dozen species of birds and Red Squirrels. The cottage is an excellent base for exploring the Moray Coast which we did from Nairn to Fraserburgh and also thenGlenshee and Balmoral area.Would return.

• "The house location, view and scenery is stunning."

  The house needs a proper thorough clean though before having anyone stay in it. We had issues of dog hair from the previous party that stayed, initially the owner was a bit hesitant in sending someone down but upon me sending videos and her realising how bad it was, someone was sent to clean the sofas up. I appreciated her effort to reslove it but i wasn't 100% comfortable with using the sofas. There were massive cob webs, dust on lamp shades and the curtains had massive stains. The house itself is beautiful. The view from every window is stunning, the garden and scenery everything is beautiful, I would recommend updating the house it needs a revamp. The kitchen is nice but the kettle had such bad limescale that it was dark brown from the inside. I couldn't use it.The house and items need updating sadly even the chairs had mucky stains. I couldn't enjoy my stay.

• "We stayed at this lovely cottage for 5 nights with our two young children."

  The location was perfect, icolated but close to shops & short 12 mile drive from Elgin where they have everything you'll need for entertaining little ones. The cottage it's self is well equipped with everything you need. The bathrooms could do with updating & I would recommend not to use the shower in the upstairs bathroom as water gets everywhere, the bath isnt big enough for the shower above it. This wasn't an issue as there is a shower down the stairs. The WiFi wasn't the greatest, I emailed Pippa (the owner) & she got onto BT as this was a new router in the property. It still was'nt great as we took our fire stick & the movies kept having to buffer when watching them. But giving that it's a very old stone cottage it wasn't much of an issue. When leaving the property yesterday we stripped the beds & noticed the beds were soiled, obviously to little kids who have had accidents (it happens) my only recommendation would be, to use a waterproof mattress protector on these beds. We did have a lovely stay here & our children liked the big garden that looks onto a feild with a cow & bull in it. We would definitely stay here again.

• "Worst Sykes property we have stayed at, by miles!"

  The overgrown entrance is almost invisible except for the row of filthy bins. The approach to the cottage is strewn with fallen apples going mouldy and green slimey paving slabs. The filthy entrance continues inside, complete with a horrible smell of damp and sewers which is also evident in the kitchen. The welcome pack consisted of a faded A4 sheet proclaiming that the property had been deep cleaned… maybe two years ago! Waste of a potentially lovely property which needs utterly gutting and starting again. No point contacting the owner as the problems will need months to correct and they clearly don’t care. Obviously seen as a cash cow with little investment, apart from a decent heating system. I have many photographs of the horrors, if you need evidence.

• "We enjoyed our stay at Annfield the cottage was very remote with no neighbours except wildlife, deer in the field opposite and many birds that came to the bird table."

  The central heating was good enough to warm the entire place so only needed to use the wood burner once. We use Sykes most of the time and are generally happy, but we did find this one was in need of a bit of updating also a bread knife would have been nice. It is important to note that there are no facilities within walking distance except for a meagrely stocked post office; as far as we could tell the local hotel/restaurant mentioned in the write up has closed.

• "Second time we have been here, had a fab time, lovely walks on your door step, or a near or far drive away to different places."

  ..the cottage itself is clean and tidy, everything you could possibly need is within the cottage, Im not sure if the picture on Sykes is updated but the cottage now has a nice comfy corner sofa in...not the one in the picture. WIFI can be a bit hit and miss, but to be expected, we found if you sit in the dining room you do get a better signal, rather than in the front room. We took our Amazon stick and watched netflix..unfortunately we left the remote..One thing I would suggest is check out the places to go visit before you travel we picked up a leaflet at the cottage that showed different walks, we travelled to Aberdeen which took 2 hrs and more diesel , only to find when we arrived that Countesswells Forest is now a housing estate, so a waist of 4 plus hours driving...but apart from that really enjoyed our stay and im sure you would truly not be disappointed, its MAGICAL......

• "We really enjoyed our stay at Annfield, the cottage was just what we wanted."

  Communication with Pippa was good, she let us know when she was not going to be around and gave us contact details for someone to call if we needed anything. The locals were friendly and we enjoyed chatting with our nearest neighbour Meg, also the lady walking her big white dog who gave us ideas for walking routes to take, another lady who we met on the Isla Trail, the staff in Aberlour co-op and the young man at the Elchies Estates farm shop . Yes the cottage could do with a bit of TLC, we could have done with an egg cup or two, a visitors book to give feedback and a bit more information about Annfield, the surrounding area, walks to take etc but these minor details were of no significance compared to the peace and tranquilty of the cottage. The garden was wonderful and the visiting creatures were amazing, we loved our daily meetings with Red Squirrels, Roe Deer and Hare plus all the birds who visited for a feed,as well as the Bats circling the cottage and theTawny Owl who called most nights. We know we had nightime visitors who took the food we put out but no Pine Marten was spotted. All in all an amzing stay, the only downside being that we had to leave after or two weeks were up. Thank you Pippa. for the privilege of sharing your cottage .

  Great location within easy reach of the local amenities in Aberlour. We loved the wildlife and birds that visited the garden. Ignore the directions on the Sykes site as they’re incorrect. The ‘what 3 words’ and post code take you to a farm. You need to go about 800 meters further up the lane to reach the property.

  .soup ladel serving spoon and perhaps more than 4 mugs. We stayed the weekend of storm and were dissapointed at support given by owner. Eg no electricity and was left 3 torches, one of which didnt work and another continual flickering. Had only 1 in pitch black rooms. Following day we had no water. After hours my husband went to look for some and it took a man in the street to take him to where water was being provided. I believe the owner should have arranged delivery of water.

  .went to aberlour every day for walk along river. Had lunch twice in the copper dog bar which is dog friendly and overall a very friendly pub as part of the Craigellachie Hotel. The only reason l haven't given 5 stars is the reason we had to strip beds and put all linen in a laundry bag and take down stairs in morning of departure. I know its not owners request we do this but the letting agents idea..apparently for covid reasons...there is enough to do for 10am departure without this pointless rule.

• "Annfield is a warm and cosy place to stay."

  The cottage is un-cluttered so it’s easy to keep tidy. The kitchen was clean and it was easy to cook meals from scratch although you need to wash up after every meal (not a problem for me, as I hate mess!) It’s really quiet at night and, my daughter was not keen to listen to her creepy podcasts as she was afraid it might scare her during the night. We did bring a fire-stick that easily connected to the tv and the wi-fi for (non-scary) entertainment at night. I loved how quiet it was. We enjoyed star gazing at night and even saw three deer in the morning. The weather was damp in November, but this made it even better when we got back from walking the Speyside Way; for a glass of wine, a woodburning stove and, a hot bubble bath. A perfect place to stay for our much-needed working holiday. Lise Olsen

  We thoroughly enjoyed our week. Some minor improvements that you might like to consider are, to provide serving spoons and a couple of more mugs, plus a cafetière in the kitchen. A doormat just inside the back door would help to keep the cottage clean and access to one of the outbuildings to store bikes would be a help. Wonderful to be able to watch deer from the front window and red squirrel from the back. Heating was excellent and warmed the cottage up very quickly. Thanks

  Loved our stay and would definitely return. The garden was lovely and we enjoyed sitting out. No light pollution, so if you are lucky, as we were, the night sky is spectactular. Lots of places to visit in Speyside, and at the coast. So plenty to do. And if you love whisky, well there are loads of distilleries to visit. We appreciated being able to let ourselves in, and had a relaxed, low key, away from it all holiday. Fed the birds in the garden, and they were a real treat to watch. Red squirrel and deer in the vicinity. Fantastic. Sad to leave.

  The gardens are a place to sit and relax we saw plenty of wildlife including 3 deer in the field next to the garden. The cottage is well equipped but hard to find , it added about 40 mins to our journey. TIP ; if you put in the post code into your satnav it takes you to the wrong property, keep driving for about 800 meters on the same road. The cottage is within easy reach of many tourist attractions and places but check first as covid 19 means some are not open . Brett and Caroline

  5 mile walk into Aberlour, but it’s a lovely walk down country tracks). It’s also close to dozens of whisky distilleries. The cottage itself is a little dated and some areas could do with a little refurbishment, but it was very clean and comfortable with most of the mod cons that you could require. But the main plus is the location, which couldn’t be better. Not many places you can feed red squirrels 10ft from the kitchen window! We’ve stayed here twice and have loved it both times.

  .Yet again Annfield gave my wife and I all the ingredients for a perfect week of rest and relaxation that we so gratefully needed. Having stayed here for a short break back in January we literally unpacked the food, emptied our bags of clothing and stuck on the kettle, it really did feel like we hadn't left. The cottage is in such a perfect position in the highlands. It is a stones throw from the famous whisky trail, beaches that seem to go for miles and miles, lochs and hills to take your breath away when you reach the top.....awesome. We were lucky to see the sheep, pheasant, a young female deer and a huge male hare that jumped across rear lawn. If you are patient enough you might just see a red Squirrel carry out its gymnastic stunts across the fence at he side.....I did... So!, back to the cottage. If you enjoy having to look out of the windows and see hills, trees, wildlife, hear absolutely nothing to the point you can hear a pin drop, then this beautifully placed, well equipped and very clean cottage is the perfect place to spend your holiday and chillax or adventure as much as you can handle.

  the cottage itself was in a rural place in its own grounds with beautiful views. a short distance away from Aberlour by car. and there is a forest walk that takes around an hour that will take you there on foot. The facilities in the cottage met our expectations comfortable beds, washing machine, iron kitchen utensils....etc.... clean and tidy through out, with rustic furnishings which complimented the cottages era. The cottage was lovely and warm with central heating available throughout. This cottage and location is amazing. The only small discrepancy we had is that after 7/8 hours a day trecking and visiting other places, the sofa could do with something more comfortable to lounge out on, on a evening with my husband it was a bit small for one never mind two and for four adult people it would be a bit of a squeeze……... as the saying goes...…... kick of your shoes and chill.....however we would recommend this cottage for its shear beauty through in and out.

• "Very disappointed to be honest."

  The cottage itself was lovely and in a beautiful location and very comfortable. However when we booked the cottage it was advertised as having WiFi which myself and family were highly disappointed to discover it did not. My children were unable to watch any movies on their kindles and I had hoped to do some work/ studying while away and again this was impossible. I would like to know why you falsely advertise it as we wouldn’t have booked knowing WiFi was not available. Secondly when my husband arrived a little before me the beds had not been made up by the cleaners and he had to call someone back to find out where the bedding was, the person he contacted was Rita and she kindly made them up although did say the cleaners should have done them. Dirty cup and spoon left in cupboard. Some previous holidaymakers appear to have been left a ‘welcome pack’ as advertised. There was nothing when we arrived and no welcome note etc as previous ones had been left. There needs to be consistency with this. We have spent many holidays over the years in Scottish cottages at a variety of locations and price ranges but this was the first time there was no starter/welcome pack. First time we have ever booked with Sykes and I have to say that I am very disappointed with the service so far. As I say the cottage and garden were lovely and comfortable and we did enjoy our holiday but we did not receive what we had booked. Also on the first night my husband sat on my sons bed to read to him and the bed broke and they both ended up on the floor. It appeared the wooden frame was only held by small screws in the corner and therefore not suitable for an adult however there was no warning about this and we had to prop the bed up in books for the remainder of our stay. I look forward to your response.
