Cottage vacation rentals in Gardenstown

We had a lovely mini break for my mum's birthday, the accommodation was perfect. Peaceful and private with a great enclosed garden for my daughters to run around. Inside the accommodation was beautiful, very homely. We will definitely return in the future.

The best Airbnb we have ever stayed in. Beautiful location, cozy, relaxing and peaceful. Property had everything we needed. Stunning views from the Hot Tub. Host recommend booking a meal at local hotel and it was fantastic. Would highly recommend Brae Cottage.

Windyheads Bothy is a wonderful getaway. It has fantastic views and is surrounded by wildlife. There’s a fabulous widescreen fireplace which kept the living room nice and toasty. The place was great for a big family holiday.

Lovely cottage perfect location for walks and tourist attractions. Fabulous hot tub and made an extra effort to do an Easter Egg hunt, kids loved it!

My husband and I and our 20 year old daughter had a wonderful stay at Butler Cottage. The estate grounds are amazing with a mix of woodland and farm fields scattered over the hills. We enjoyed daily walks done and along the river. If your animal lovers like we are it was extra special. The Highland cows and sheep add beauty to the scenery, but the deer, hares, pheasants and other birds of prey really add the wow factor. The cottage is full of charm with an old world feel. It’s been very smartly renovated and decorated and is in great condition. We loved the farmhouse style kitchen which is open to a comfortable living room with high ceilings. The built in beds are beautifully done and although on the small side we enjoyed the authentic touch. The wood stoves on each end of the cottage work well to add extra warmth in the evenings. Ross was a gracious host. The place was with fresh flowers and a basket of fresh goods from the farm. He even had the fire started for the hot tub.

We visit Scotland every year and we’ve stayed in some wonderful places over the last 21 years. Gale’s place is definitely one of our top three favourites! Goodness - it is impeccably furnished, comfortable and wonderfully spacious. We absolutely loved the evenings by the fire, the bright and airy conservatory, the comfortable kitchen, extremely generous bedrooms and table tennis. We will most definitely be back if they’ll have us!

Another perfect stay at no.30. We love staying in Elaine’s beautiful home. Cosy, comfortable and well equipped. We could sit and stare out to sea all day. Planning our next trip already. Thank you again!

Great 3 night stay over a long weekend. Sue was so helpful from as soon as we booked to after we checked out as we had forgotten an item when checking out. Sue met us upon arrival and was very warm and inviting. We were given lots of local tips for the area. The location is stunning with great views and very open and airy feeling! We all felt very at home very quickly. We would 100% look to stay here again and have already recommended this location and this host to a good few people.

Lovely little cottage.

Spent a great week here with family, and we all felt at home. The property feels nice and secluded but is only a 10 minute drive from everything you need. loads of options for days out with or without kids and walks within reasonable driving distance. Bea was always easy to contact and very nice to communicate with if needed. highly recommend

We had a magical stay at the cottage! The pictures don’t do justice to it and we highly recommend getting better pictures. We got very lucky with the weather, saw sun, rainbow and snowfall! The place is also aptly located for northern lights sightings. We got amazing sightings from the cottage on two nights. The Aga kitchen is 5 stars in itself! We loved bringing in new years at the cottage with our little baby. The cot and high chair were both super helpful. Thank you Jennifer for being so responsive and helping our stay.

A nice stay in a quiet town near some of the best whiskey distilleries. Host was very polite and responsive!

We are just back from a 3 night stay at Sealladh Mara and are already talking about when we can go back! This was our third stay and, as always, we had the best time at this beautiful cottage. It really is a home from home, full of everything you could need to enjoy a break by the seaside. The views are stunning and the cottage itself is very clean and cosy. The children absolutely love the garden, especially the trampoline. There is lots of space inside for them to explore too and the added toys for kids is great. My sister and I enjoyed sitting outside watching them play but we also found some peaceful moments inside to enjoy the views. We walked along to the bijou cafe for coffee and cakes which was nice, and popped up to the local park which the children enjoyed too. We used a chip van one evening for an easy dinner which was also nice. Hannah is great at communication and very friendly. We love our time at the “trampoline house” and would highly recommend, as always.

Great stay in a beautiful cottage, so well equipped and very comfortable in a quiet area. Lovely place so close to the beach my grandson loved it as well. Recommend the Cullen Skink soup at Lily’s Cafe, very tasty

Lovely wee hidden gem. Just spent a very chilled few days. Found the cottage cosy an comfortable and a good base for travelling to all local tourist attractions. Kath gos above and beyond as a Airbnb host,very thoughtful and considerate. Throw into the mix the surrounding neighbours whom are extremely friendly. All makes your time a wonderful stay.

We had a great holliday. Location and the house were both perfect! The house was spotless and everything you need is there. Lots of great walks from the cottage. We all (family with 3 kids) had a wonderfull holiday.

We absolutely loved our stay in Pauline's cottage. We were only there a few days however settled in quickly and it had everything we could possibly need.

Findhorn is a beautiful place to stay. And in David’s house we felt right away at home. Especially the fire place was the best I have experienced so far. Easy to light up without fire starters just newspaper and the fire place develops very quickly a cozy warmth. The bathroom is well done. We loved the shower and our 8months old kid loved it as well. The kitchen had everything we needed so for one week you can enjoy nature, watch wild animals and birds, stay at the beach or enjoy walks in nearby pine forests. The next Lidl is not far as well and Forres as a city is very pleasant to walk and enjoy coffee. So we would love to come back soon

Great cottage to stay in. We loved being able to visit the spey side distilleries. Rachel had the travel cot for our toddler set up when we reached the listing. Nice neighbors and even saw a pheasant!

Great location away from the noise of the city centre, the cottage was lovely and clean and had very comfortable beds. I enjoyed the privacy and the surrounding views.

Lovely cosy home from home. Comfortable beds, warm under floor heating, big living room, lovely views.
