Cottage vacation rentals in Archiestown

Second time we have stayed here, will make it a third sometime in the future. Great cottage and location

Simpathetically converted malt house in a peaceful setting. Good sized house with absolutely brilliant garden that had plenty space for the dogs to run around. Comfy beds with fresh linen, towels, robes and slippers. Well stocked kitchen with thoughtful welcome gift. Cozy lounge with plenty logs for the burner. Great little study space for those that still have to do a bit of work. Hot tub clean with non-slip rubber mats around it. Unfortunately, more careful attention needed from cleaning team in places, which was disappointing - for the money, perfection expected. Warning for fellow townies - go less than walking pace along the track to prevent the underside of your car getting scraped, unless you drive a land rover. Also, the bins are located at the end of the road, so stinky rubbish needs to go in the car - too far to carry it. We're not precious about our car but our son flatly refused to take it in his new car!

A beautiful, spacious cottage. We spent a comfortable 4 days in the most idyllic setting, with the river Nairn at the end of the garden. The cottage has everything you could need, even including towels for the hot tub! The bedrooms are large and the beds extremely comfortable. The children loved the farm and looking at the animals. We will definitely return!

Such a beautiful little get away with so many little hidden gems nearby! Was quiet 24/7 and we loved the peace and the amount of sun the garden and hot tub got. Such a cosy cottage and made us feel at home straight away, worth the drive! Thank you for a lovely stay ❤️

The house was wonderful - we were delighted with both the location and with the property. The house was immaculate, and beautifully furnished with some really lovely pictures and objects throughout. The rooms were all good-sized and bright with the kitchen/dining area overlooking the garden a real standout. It was very well maintained and it felt like a proper home from home. The location was really lovely too - nice and quiet with a very short walk to the beach. We particularly enjoyed our walks around the area and along to Chanonry Point to look for the dolphins. A local pub and a lovely restaurant were close by too which was a bonus! Our host, Eva, provided us with clear and concise information prior to our arrival and messaged us a couple of times during our stay to make sure that all was in order. This was very much appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend the property to others, and we certainly plan to visit again!

We stayed here for a week with our grown children and their partners. Alasdair's cottage was perfect. It immediately felt cosy and comfortable. The games barn was a fun addition, and a great place to store our bikes when not in use. We got the hot tub going and once up to temperature it was easy enough to keep it ticking over for several evenings. The kitchen was well appointed, enough utensils, crockery and pans for us to cook each night. The cottage is next to open fields and farm land with quiet roads that lead to Cublin Forest. This was an amazing place to explore on foot and on bike, especially the peninsula that runs along the Findhorn Estuary and into the sea. Deserted beach and inquisitive seals. We also drove about an hour north to do some hiking at Glenmore in the Cairngorms. After our busy days adventuring it was always great to return to the cottage to relax and sleep soundly in the super size comfortable beds.

We had the most wonderful stay in Butlers cottage. The attention to detail and interior was incredibly thought out, we have never stayed in such a beautiful cottage. The fires were lit upon our arrival and ross was there to welcome us in and show us around. He was genuinely one of the nicest hosts we have met, you can tell he’s passionate about what he does by how incredibly presented everything was. The garden and grounds were stunning, plenty of routes to walk the dog and plenty of places to sit and take in the surroundings. The cottage is tucked away, very nice and private yet still easy to get to and close to the little shop! which we loved. We bought the homemade rolls kit and they were to die for, easy to make and ended up with loads of them to take home. We will without a doubt be back again soon, we didn’t want to leave!!!

Beautiful location - clear directions supplied by the host. Local pub serving good food within a 5 minute walk. Cottage itself was clean & within a quiet location. There is a hot tub in a separate building available at an extra cost - was also clean, ready to use with a plentiful supply of towels . Would recommend for a couple looking for a weekend away interested in walking or exploring the surrounding areas

Lovely property with all necessary amenities set in a stunning rural location. Perfect for dog owners with riverside walks 10 minutes from doorstep. Exploring Moray and Aberdeenshire coast and countryside is all to hand. Great beaches, restaurants, golf courses and local attractions only 20 minutes drive away. Despite being immensely busy out on farm Gale was just fantastic and gave all the help and advice when ever needed. Home from home for me in a real uncommercial location.

Lovely cottage with pretty bedrooms and a generous garden with barbecue and seating. Tranquil setting very convenient for Brodie Castle and close to Findhorn and the beach. We arrived late and had trouble figuring out how to use the the wifi and get hot water, but that was probably down to our tiredness rather than anything else. Would happily stay here again and may well do so if Jeana will have us back.

What a magical cottage in such an extraordinarily special place! My son loved the rock pools and finding "treasures" on the shore, and I loved seeing and hearing the sea at all times, both inside and outside the really comfortable cottage. Thank you Elaine for a beautiful stay!

Çalums place was neatly tucked away in the Cairngorms what a beautiful place cute and quaint and such a lovely gesture to leave special coffee pods condiments local Scottish chocolates and wine such a lovely little place with room to rest recover from climbing hiking running loved discovering Nethy cafe nearby with friendly staff and angie the owner so lovely thanks Calum your place was wonderful

This is a very comfortable, clean, homely place. It is airy but cosy. Lovely, roomy bedrooms with very comfortable beds and pristine bedding. Close to everything in Cromarty. A really relaxing home from home. Thank you Veronica, for a wonderful weekend

The cottage and lcoation are absolutely beautiful; it was perfect for a weekend of walking with my two dogs and relaxing in the evening by the fire. Very quiet and peaceful and the back garden is fantastic. I would definetly come again if I'm back in the area.

We stayed here for two nights before our return to the states to relax from our three weeks in Scotland. Pictures do not do it justice. So close to restaurants and pubs in town and the beach. Small lovely town and everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Next time I will spend more time here!

If you are hesitating about booking here - don’t! The number of repeat bookings tells you all you need to know. A really beautiful cottage on the Moray coast. Kismul is comfortable and well equipped for family holidays as well as being in a great location.

A very comfy warm and cosy cottage. Situated in a lovely setting with expansive views to Ben Rinnes. A great base for exploring Speyside.

We had a wonderful time at the Bothey it was absolutely spotless and very comfortable. Sharon & Kevin were great hosts too. We would highly recommended this property. Many thanks Andreena & Neil

Great place to spend a few days close enough to the main centre but felt more secluded and private. Sheila was a great host not intrusive but always available if needed. Was great to have the little.amenities on arrival bread butter milk coffee etc. Definitely worth booking if looking for somewhere in the Moray area that is private but walkable to the town centre.

Traquair cottage is outside the main village but not too far. It is a great location for all outdoors pursuits, set in beautiful countryside, centrally located at the heart of the whisky industry as-well-as The Speyside Way. Comfortable and warm with plenty of hot water, it was the ideal place to base ourselves for a wee cycling holiday. Plus of-course, the whisky was great!

What a great place to stay. The hosts were wonderful and communicative. When we had a slight problem with the fire. they came and helped immediately. As soon as we entered, felt right at home, and then extended an extra night. Everything is in the pictures and it’s actually better. Great location for just walking and being at one with nature, even in the rain. One suggestion is the TV is very small and was challenging to watch TV. I think it would add a little bit more for a bigger TV specially on rainy days.

Wonderful Dairy Farm cottage with lovely host. The store & cafe was wonderful as well. We took the recommendations and drove out to the west coast beach and saw so many wonderful things along the drive! Highly recommend any of Carolyn’s cottages for your stay. We drove into Cromarty and along that coast area and found some great treasures to take back to the USA.

Absolutely fantastic property. Beautiful views out to the sea/estuary. Lovely walks in the surrounding area. Would highly recommend this property.

A fabulous cottage in a quaint wee village. The cottage exceeded our expectations and had everything you needed to make it a perfect stay. A beautiful back garden, great for dogs, backs onto the River Spey for lovely walks. Cannot fault the cottage or it's location and we hope to return in the future.
