Nearby you will also find the eco-village of Findhorn, the Speyside whisky trail and the beaches and golf courses on the Moray coast.

Very comfortable and enjoyable stay. A great location. Just a stones throw from the beach and some lovely walks. The bothy was clean, well furnished and had everything we could wish for. The wood burning stove made it even more comfortable on the cooler evenings. Lots to do in the area and great support and advice from Andy. Wed love to come back.

A perfect break: the combination of the location (edge of Findhorn Bay with Culbin Forest behind), a private estate setting (gorgeous gardens), comfort (wood burner, cosy chairs and amazing bed!) and peace and quiet was just what was needed.
