Description


Looking for a spot where you can sit outside in the peace and quiet with a bit of privacy? Abbots Hill has a wonderful, fully enclosed, private garden, hedged on 3 sides with the 4th side looking onto the old farm steadings. It comes complete with a lockable shed where you can store bikes, kayaks or other outdoor adventure equipment.

This 3 bedroom property can comfortable sleep up to 8 guests, over 2 floors.
On the ground floor you'll find one large bedroom with king size bed, a Jack and Jill toilet and shower room that is accessible from both the bedroom and kitchen area, a fully equipped utility room (washer-dryer and large fridge-freezer), open-plan kitchen-dining area (seats 8) that leads onto a spacious but cosy living room with two large, comfortable sofas and wood burning fireplace.

Upstairs is another two large bedrooms, both boasting king size beds, (one includes a single bed that can be made up as a king upon request). All the bedrooms look out over the private garden and rolling fields of the estate.
There is a shared, modern bathroom upstairs where you can soak away your cares in the large bath.

Situated on the 1,250 acre Dalvey Estate in the Scottish Highlands, nestled between the mountains and the sea, Abbots Hill is the perfect, secluded spot to disconnect and enjoy Moray’s stunning countryside and coastlines.

Dalvey has been the home of the MacLeod family since 1798. It is still a much-loved family home but the owners of the estate are kind enough to allow guests to explore their vast grounds and and beautiful Georgian house.

Due to the location of this property, we would advise having a car for the duration of your stay. However there are plenty of local taxi companies that we would be happy to recommend.

Wifi and a smart TV are both available at the property.

Location


Within the immediate area you will find a Tesco (located just over a mile away), while still having the escape of being located next to stunning fields and countryside. The Forres town centre has an array of local butchers, bakeries, cafes and restaurants. Culbin Forest is just 10 minutes drive, offering beautiful beach walks and biking trails.
Landmark adventure park is less than 45 mins away, a great day out for families and children and we are lucky enough to be next door to the stunning Brodie Castle and Hardmuir farm shop, a great stop for picking local raspberries and strawberries and stocking up on other fresh produce. The River Spey and Findhorn are so close by, that this property would provide a fantastic base after daily sessions on the riverbanks. Inverness is just a short 30 minute drive from this property and even less time to the Dalcross Airport!

Wonderful home to spend time in. Loved walking the grounds exploring and the private yard for the kids to play. Very accommodating with a pack and play for our youngest. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

A beautifully appointed space for a family holiday, catering for all ages. The rooms are spacious and the garden is fantastic in summer.

We had a wonderful short stay at Abbotshill. Communication was clear and the directions were perfect for getting us there. The house was beautifully decorated and it's perfectly situated for exploring the Moray coast. We had some lovely cosy evenings by the fire. The weather wasn't quite right for having fun in the garden, but there is a lovely space which our girls would have loved. The beds were super comfortable and the house is perfect for a game of hide and seek.

My family and I stayed here for a week in October 10th-15th. We all had the most wonderful time staying at Abbotshill Cottage. It was very clean, spacious, and cosy and freshly decorated with lovely touches that were sympathetic to the period cottage. The location was also only 5 mins drive from Forres town centre and a half an hour walk. The communication with Sonia was also very responsive and easy to deal with. All in all a great week our family of 4 had and we can’t wait to return again soon. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a lovely relaxing time👍
