Great space for three families

Great property in a great location

This is a basic but comfortable cabin in a lovely and well maintained rural setting, with the bedroom up a spiral staircase in an attic style room (sloping ceiling) - may be an issue if you have mobility issues. The bathroom is situated downstairs with separate toilet. The kitchen had everything we needed and there were basic tea/coffee supplies. There are central washing machines available for a fee and strangely there was a public telephone in our cabin also available if you had the correct coins.

The driveway was probably due to be regraded as a bit bumpy. Just for awareness that this property is not a 20 minute walk to the distilleries as the road is not conducive to foot traffic.

Setting and location were great loads to see and do within an hour of the cottage with Dufftown on your door step. Staff were very friendly when we saw them

Place was clean to an extend but several places had been missed with old cobwebs round light fixtures. The Cornloft was very dated in facitilies inside, the cooker was an old electric induction hob, while others had full range gas cookers, the fridge was only a small fridge which barely held anything considering we were a family of 4 having stuff in the fridge is essential with 2 kids. We do know other cottages had seperate fridges and freezers. You are also not informed that the laundry is £4 for a load with £1 for 20 mins in a dryer, yet if you stay in the farm house you get a washing machine in the property. Will say the Cornloft is not for people over 5ft 10 as the timbers in the roof are quite low, and I am only 5ft 9 and almost hit my head off them a few times. Also due to the shape of the upstairs you would have to duck or walk at an angle to avoid the sloping ceiling. Communication was not great as we found out that the electricity was being cut to the site the day before it happened when the owners had been told on the 12th of July. The beds were the worst I have very slept on and would wake up sore after a nights sleep, honestly not what I would expect from any holiday cottage or room.
