"Fantastic place, the group loved it."
-
"We had a wonderful family week at Dalvey House and could not rate the property highly enough."
We were welcomed by the owner and felt as honoured guests at a country house party! Every facility was good, we especially appreciated the very comfortable beds, the large dining table, spacious lounges and very attractive grounds,. The week is already part of the folklore of our extended family.

"I invited my family, with grandchildren, 18 in all, to Scotland to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary."
Everything was perfect. The house was enormous, comfortable, beautifully decorated and cosy. The bedrooms were spacious and the showers very good. Because we had eight children in our party, I greatly appreciated the surfaces of the antique wooden furniture having protective covers. We enjoyed, not only the luxury of this house, but the atmosphere. Simply breathtaking.

"We had a wonderful holiday and Dalvey House was a very important part of that."
It is by far the most comfortable holiday house I ever visited and will set a hard to beat standard for my future holidays. I would especially like to give praise to the building management team, who went above and beyond in their efforts to ensure a most pleasant stay.

"Dalvey House was a perfect place for the two week holiday for our family group of 18."
Lots of room to spread out on this beautiful house. Kate and John were so very nice and helpful. All of us hated to leave. If we ever get the chance to gather again in Scotland, this house would be our first choice.

The property
Forres 3 miles.
This truly elegant Adam style mansion stands regally in stunning landscaped grounds, close to Forres, one of Scotlands oldest small towns.
Dalvey House is ideal for a large family or group of friends who want a luxury holiday together, whether it is to celebrate a special event or simply to spend time together exploring this beautiful part of Scotland.
A long and impressive drive leads through the grounds and over a bridge crossing the Muckle Burn, where you will get your first glimpse of Dalvey House, sure to take your breath away!
An impressive wood panelled reception hall has a cosy seating area.
The stylish sitting room simply oozes comfort and taste and has access through to a lovely TV room where guests can relax and watch their favourite programme away from the hustle and bustle.
There is also a separate snug with comfortable sofas and bean bags.
A contemporary and very well-equipped kitchen allows meals to be prepared with ease and the oak lined dining room is a fabulous place for a celebratory meal together.
There are nine bedrooms in total offering great flexibility with four benefiting from en-suite facilities.
From the windows the peaceful and lovely open views add to the relaxed and gentle ambience of this stunning property.
Although a historic house, it does offer up-to-date facilities such as WiFi, and Sky TV.
Close by there is plenty to do to keep everyone busy and families will really appreciate the great beaches at Nairn and Findhorn, just a few miles away.
For wildlife lovers a spot of dolphin watching has to be on the 'to do' list so why not take a trip to Chanory Point where they can be seen tumbling and leaping from the shoreline, or book a boat out onto the Moray Firth to see them at close quarter?
Nearby Culbin Forest, which borders some lovely beaches offers fabulous cycle and walking routes or perhaps you just want to stay at home in your special mansion and luxuriate in the sheer comfort and charm that this unique holiday home brings.
Dalvey House is the perfect choice for a memorable stay in a wonderful house at any time of the year.
