Kirktoun Cottage

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kirktoun Cottage. The accommodation was perfect, very comfortable and clean. The surrounding area was stunning. We went some beautiful drives to local villages and enjoyed 2 rounds of golf at nearby Hopeman golf club. Would definitely stay again and would recommend to anyone travelling to this area.

Kirktoun Cottage is exactly as it is described. It’s a deceptively spacious, well-equipped property, nicely laid out and set in a tranquil, rural village, just a few minutes away from the beautiful Moray coastline and the town of Elgin. The estate the cottage sits on is simple, yet stunning and there are some lovely woodland walks to explore; wildlife is in abundance. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to be able to visit again soon.

Only five minutes from the centre of the village (great village shop for quick shopping) and close to Elgin, Lossiemouth and numerous pretty coastal villages and beaches, Kirktoun is a gem. Inside is warm and cosy and much more spacious than you would think from outside. We were staying during some frosty weather but the cottage is very warm and snug. Equipped with everything you might need and comfortably furnished to a good spec, it is a quiet haven. My husband thinks the bed in the master bedroom is the best he has slept in for many a night. Plenty of space for your belongings. Well appointed kitchen should you wish to cater but there are so many great places to eat a short car ride away you might like to spoil yourself.Surrounded by fields and woodland of there a views from every window. Lots of local birdlife. Loads of places to explore and to shop so this place comes thoroughly recommended

We’ve just had a perfect few days on the outskirts of the village of Duffus close to the lovely moray coast. The cottage has a lovely warm feel, in a beautiful countryside spot, well furnished and equipped with everything our small family could need. As someone who loves to cook the newly fitted and decorated kitchen was a real pleasure to spend time in, its a great mix of modern and vintage style. The cottage has large windows and stunning views of the surrounding woodland, after forrest walks we enjoyed curling up by the fire, sitting watching the birds from the living-room wIndow. Best of all, lots of fresh air, comfy beds and countryside peace and quiet saw us all sleep brilliantly. Thanks from us all for a lovely stay.

We’re fairly regular visitors to Duffus and have stayed in a number of the Duffus Estate properties over the years – either as a couple, family or larger group. We’d never stayed at Kirktoun Cottage before, though. What a lovely surprise! It’s nice and spacious, with ample room for our 5 year old and dog both indoors and out. It was a little chilly during our stay to spend too much time playing in the garden but it was a great place for both dog and child to let off a bit of steam without worrying about either escaping. The kitchen looks very recently re-done (and has the most gorgeous tiles!) and overall, I felt the interior was of a really high standard. I particularly appreciated the bedding – love a bit of Egyptian cotton! We re-visited a couple of our favourite haunts – The Bothy in Burghead and The Duffus Inn – and had lovely meals at both. We also enjoyed lunch at a new ‘find’ – the Gordon Castle cafe at Fochabers. Overall, we had a brilliant stay at Kirktoun Cottage and we wouldn’t hesitate to return.
