“Beautiful home for larger families”

The house was exactly as described and frankly even better. Exceeded expectations. Lovely home and plenty of space for all of us. The games room was just amazing. It helped that e had the most gorgeous weather and lots of Highland Games taking place in different places close by to choose from.

“Our stay was something special- loved the facilities and the suit of armor”

“Beautiful surroundings - lovely place to share with the family & perfect location to celebrate a family wedding”

The setting & size

A Perfect Stay – Highly Recommended! Fantastic house! It was peaceful, yet close enough to all the major attractions and local restaurants. We were able to easily explore the area without any hassle. The host was welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone.

“Absolutely wonderful”

This was our second visit and it was just as wonderful as the first . We were greeted when we arrived which is always lovely. It was spotlessly clean, the bedding is lovely, it was very cosy . The bedrooms are all a good size The pool room in the basement was enjoyed by all .

A fabulous and spacious country house that feels homely. All mod cons but still with an authentic atmosphere. There's something for everyone- pool table, Wii, games etc and the rooms are cosy and well kept. Couldn't fault it.

“Lovely stay in the Old Manse, touring about and eating out in the area”

It was quirky

“Wonderful, relaxing stay”

Excellent location, wonderful old house which has been well maintained. Beautiful grounds, sauna and jacuzzi bath were a hit, along with the pool table. Kitchen was home from home - just wonderful.

“Fantastic host, Fantastic House...we'll be back!”

The location is perfect, the house is superb. Absolutely ideal for a family gathering all under one roof. The kitchen is well equipped - you don't need to take any utensils and there were even basic things like tea/coffee/cooking oil. The dining room is perfect for a family gathering - we had a full Christmas dinner! For such a big house it is very cosy and warm in every room - so warm we didn't even light the beautiful log fire that was all set up for us. The pool room was fantastic, great place to hang out. The sauna was lovely. We are definitely going to come back. We were met on arrival and welcomed which was great. I also lost a necklace while I was there which they found and returned. One of the best places we've stayed in.

“Wonderful”

Lovely house in a splendid location. The sauna upstairs was an added luxury in the Highland winter.

“Perfect base for touring whisky country”

The property was huge, with more than enough room for our group. Various spaces to come together as a group or to have a quiet moment alone. Kitchen was exceptionally well appointed with everything you need and more. A well stocked dry cupboard provided all the essentials needed when cooking, a genuinely nice touch. The games room was a very welcome addition. Communication with the owners was brilliant and a problem we had with a smoke detector was resolved quickly, without any fuss.

It was all perfect

A perfect place for a group of 5 Australian women travelling around Scotland. It was so beautifully appointed, comfy, warm and homely. A personal touch from Robbie and his bagpipes was the icing on the cake. Loved it!

“A good location for exploring the area.”

It was spacious and comfortable.

“Great time at the big house”

The house was great. Perfect for our needs and well equipped. The boys particularly loved the sauna and bath!

“Great weekend away with the girls in a fantastic setting”

House was fantastic for our group of golfing ladies. Shame we were only there for one night but definitely will be back again. Thank you.

“Great place to stay.”

Big house with lots of amenities - pool, gym, sauna etc.

“A brilliant weekend in the perfect setting”

Wow. The house is fantastic. We had a little Burns supper with some friends, and had a fantastic time. What a fantastic place to meet up with friends and family and enjoy some quality time together. The rooms are huge, and the house is very well presented. The facilities are great and the surrounding area is beautiful, Fochabers is a great place. I don't think the pictures fully represent how great the Old Manse is and I highly recommend to anyone looking for a weekend/week away with family and friends. Being such a large home in the winter, we were concerned about the house being cold, but on arrival it was pleasantly warm, which was much appreciated. Can't recommend enough, I imagine we will be back if we get the chance. Thanks again.
