The Piries, Ellon, Aberdeenshire

Fantastic week for my husband’s “50th! “ Kim always goes the extra mile and nothing seems to be too much trouble. House is just amazing. Ace Adventures just up the road was a good way to spend a Saturday white water rafting and cliff jumping!!! We will deffo be back. Logie Steading was lovely for breakfast, lunch & tea with great shops to browse at. Brodie Countryfayre is always a great visit too.

Our old friends McKenzie & Cheyne Super relaxing week again. Never get tired of the views. Had a cracking Hogmanay at the Mosset Tavern. Great for walks and chilling out. Good to see you again Allan & Kim. See you soon.

Found the house on the internet. Both the property and the area, and the service, have met, and greatly exceeded expectations. Absolutely lovely.

Thank you for thinking of everything in this lovely holiday home. A week not long enough for everything this area has – highlights include Cawdor Castle, Culloden & Glen Moray (our own private tour!). We’re leaving feeling very relaxed!

Such a lovely week. A true home from home from which we were able to go out each day and explore a lovely part of the world. And a sign of a brilliant holiday – no-one (and there’s 5 of us) wants to go home. Thank you. (And thank you Linda for the thoughtful gift and card. Much appreciated)

Amanda, James, Cameron & Blair, Edinburgh
Excellent! From the most delightful welcome, to the welcomed relaxing family week of fun activities in Moray. “The Beeches” is a tremendous base. The finesse in the luxury of the finishing touches was a delight. Thank you.

Our first time in the area – totally impressed. Something to do for all of us; all ages – the children loved the house so much they didn’t want to go on day trips!

Another fantastic September get together! We loved Newton of Dalvey & we’ve loved here too – will need to toss a coin to decide which one we come back to next time!
