Avemar

Fochabers 3.4 miles.

Avemar is a charming, single-storey cottage situated in Bridge of Tynet near Fochabers, Moray.

Just a short stroll from the friendly local pub and woodland walks from the doorstep, this delightful retreat offers off-road parking for two cars, making it an ideal escape for families and friends seeking seaside serenity.

Upon entering this single-storey abode, you will be greeted by a spacious kitchen/diner, fully-equipped with all the essentials for a self-catered stay.

Here, you can gather at the dining table to enjoy home-cooked meals, or plan the day's adventures over a hearty breakfast.

The sitting room, complete with a TV and a warming woodburning stove, offers a snug spot to unwind after a day of exploration.

Sink into the plush seating and lose yourself in a good book, or tune into your favourite shows for a relaxing evening in.

As the day draws to a close, retire to one of the two family rooms, each boasting a super king-size bed which can be unzipped made into twin beds on request, offering flexible sleeping arrangements for all.

The rooms are tastefully decorated, providing a tranquil space to rest and rejuvenate.

The property is served by a stylish bathroom, fitted with a bath and a walk-in shower, where you can choose to indulge in a leisurely soak or a quick refresh.

Outside, the wrap-around garden with front and rear furniture provides a serene spot for alfresco dining or a morning coffee, while the storage for bikes ensures those bringing their own equipment can keep it safe and secure.

From Avemar, immerse yourself in the local culture at the Fochabers Folk Museum & Heritage Centre, or spend a day at Byres Farm to learn about the traditional farming practices of the area.

Be sure to visit Gordon Castle Walled Garden for a stroll among the tranquil landscapes; note that the café is closed on Monday and Tuesday.

Treat yourself after a day of exploration with a delicious homemade scoop at Fochabers Ice Cream Parlour, or savour a delightful meal or afternoon tea at Greenacres Coffee Shop.

For some local cuisine take a trip to the pub/restaurant across the road called The Mull of Tynet.

However you choose to spend your time, Avemar offers a snug base for all of your Scottish adventures.
