Visit historic locations of Spynie Palace or Duffus Castle, all within 9 miles, or enjoy some culture with a trip to Elgin Cathedral (3.5 miles). Keen golfers will no doubt be drawn to the three golf clubs within 5 miles of the house, and the Malt whisky Trail offers plenty of whisky hotspots within 7 miles. For a day out like no other head to Spey Bay (10 miles) to view dolphins in the ocean.

Head straight through into the calming living room, where comfy sofas face a SmartTV with DVD player and a wood burner flickers away. The kitchen is a modern space with fridge/freezer, electric oven, microwave and dishwasher, along with a casual breakfast table for a relaxed brunch. Enjoy evening meals in the stylish dining room where plush grey seats offer space to relax together.

Upstairs via the main hallway, you'll find a further three bedrooms, two king-size (one with en-suite WC and shower) and a twin bedroom. A shared bathroom contains WC and shower over bath.

What a delightful building in a quiet, rural location, attractively and thoughtfully furnished to a high standard, and providing all we would wish for. Deer beyond the hedge and bluetits in the trees. Good situation, with nearby and easy proximity to Elgin, a prominent route centre, providing direct and easy access to Moray in all directions.

Very comfortable, well-equipped and spacious house with plenty of room for children to play in the garden. Communication with our host was prompt and straightforward. They responded quickly when we reported a minor issue and it was swiftly resolved. A lovely welcome pack greeted us and our whole party enjoyed the hot tub.

We had such a happy stay at Scotstonhill! Everything about the house and location was perfect. So much space, and everything was immaculate with lots of home comforts. The whole house was lovely and warm, despite the start of the autumn gales, with lots of hot water for showers and baths. We would love to come back another for another visit.
