Cottage was in a beautiful location, owner, Angela was lovely and on hand when needed. Everything was provided in the kitchen, lounge was cosy and beds were comfortable. Would recommend as a complete getaway as need to drive to local amenities but lots to do within an hour.

Cosy small cottage in a quiet location despite being beside country road. Cottage well equipped. Little walk from door for morning/evening dog walk. Not far from Forres & lovely beaches of Findhorn/Roseisle.

Manse Cottage, Dallas was an ideal place for us to enjoy exploring the beautiful area, in the day, and relax with everything we hoped for in the evenings. Most comfortable, inside and out. The local walks were perfect for our dogs. The owners had a perfect balance as excellent hosts, helpful & informative when appropriate, never intrusive. A wonderful Spring week, weather-wise was a bonus. We hope to return in Autumn. Many Thanks indeed.
