The cottage is quite lovely. Perfect for a small family
Quaint . Location is perfect for day trips around the highlands. Closest town, aberlour is quite lovely with restaurants, butcher, hardware store (where you can buy logs and kindling for warmth), cafe and a Coop for grocery shopping. Walkers shortbread factory is right outside the town proper!

Lovely cottage in speyside
It was a great stay for us. We did the dramathon, so a bit of a ride to the start, but it was such a lovely home. All the amenities taken care of, beautiful water view in the back garden. All communications and instructions were clear. It was so cozy, we loved our stay here.

Quiet getaway
We found "Waterside Cottage" to be a charming little retreat. Despite its compact size, the cottage is practically and cozily furnished, providing everything you need for a comfortable stay. Its peaceful location next to the River Livet, near an old smugglers' bridge, adds to its unique charm. However, do note that it is close to a road where cars tend to drive quite fast, which can be a concern. Overall, it's a lovely spot for a quiet getaway in the Speyside region.

Wonderful Waterside Cottage
The location was lovely--complete with the sound of the river behind the cozy and inviting back garden. The house was charming, and was a wonderful place to relax after our day trips. Information on the surrounding area was so helpful, and inspired some wonderful walks.
