    A very clean, comfortable little holiday home!. Very pleased with how clean and tidy the property was, fully equipped for all needs!. The location was slightly off the main road, but exactly what we were looking for from our trip. Very very happy campers!

    Just that there were a couple of gaps in the fencing so our (fairly new to us) dog enjoyed exploring the other field. Haha!

    Driving down the drives to find our location was just the best start. It was absolutely peaceful. It was so well equipped. It was spotless. So much outdoor space. Plenty of space inside too. Not really anything to fault.

    Nothing put us off the stay.

    Lovely little cottage out in the sticks. No light pollution or traffic noise and an escape from reality whilst still being close to modern comforts. The wood fire got the cottage lovely and warm and they had oil plug in radiators to take chill off when the full fire wasn't needed. Excellent modern kitchen with oven and fridge for the stay. Really clean rooms on arrival and Lots of cleaning products and access to a washing machine if needed. Bed was a little firmer than we would normally sleep on but the sheer size of it and space to sleep was amazing. We felt this captured our vision of Scotland of being out in a quaint cottage away from the rest of the world and in the peace and tranquility that Scotland offers in that part of it. Local access to spey Bay and other coastal areas and the main reason for the booking was 10 minute drive to my family's home who we were there to visit!

    If I was going to be extremely picky, the only thing we needed but didn’t have were oven gloves.

    Everything. Very quiet and peaceful, but still very well located, for the places we wanted to visit. Great for the dog to just walk out of the door. Full wood store, and good heating. Well equipped, new kitchen.

    The access road could do with a little TLC, and some lighting outside as it was very dark getting from the car to door.

    The approach track to the property was terrible. Maybe the bathroom would benefit from an electric shower. The sofa and lounge chairs were a little uncomfortable.

    Location was fine. Just what we wanted. Booked on that basis.

    The dirt track road. A few updates to the interior.

    Our second stay at Orton Estate Fochabers and loved it! Great cottage for a family with teenage kids who are looking for something different other than staying in a family room in a hotel. Clean, comfortable and a beautiful location. We used it as a base for visiting family in Elgin but there’s loads to do in the area. Definitely recommend and would love to come back in the winter time to use the log burner.

    Hard to find anything wrong with the place. If I had to be really picky, and this is very picky, there wasn’t a plug for the sink in the kitchen. That’s about it really

    Perfect location for me. Not too far from and not too close to where I am working. It’s secluded, which suits me fine. A well equipped, comfortable and clean property. the main bed was very comfortable and the pillows just the right firmness for me. Plenty of wardrobe space in the bedroom and cupboard space in the kitchen. The kitchen was very well equipped and perfect for my stay. The instruction pack was very well informative and didn’t leave anything to doubt. It’s a shame this place isn’t available every time I’m working in the area as I would stay here every time

    the only downside for most will be the road down to the property, it’s an old track so a bit bumpy and rocky in places

    awesome property, clean and well cared for. lots of thought gone into what you may need. if you like to stargaze it’s perfect, light pollution is very minimal.
