“My family and I enjoyed a fantastic stay at Tides Edge cottage.
The location was spot on and meant we got to make the most of
the beautiful weather right on the beach!
Thanks for having us and we can’t wait to return next year!“
“Amazing location on the bay. Kids and dog loved walking straight out onto the beach and the view from top bedrooms was lovely.
The back room was spacious with skylights.
Probably a bit big for just 4 of us but a lovely stay!”
“We had a wonderful family holiday. Cottage is ideally located,
spacious and clean.
We already knew Findhorn well but were given clear instructions
where to park and how to find the cottage.
Any queries we had were responded to quickly. We definitely
would stay again.”
