Cottage vacation rentals in Talmine

This is a really unique stay and I spent a good part of my time there looking out at sea wondering when I would next be able to come back. So that should tell you how much I liked it! It’s at a lighthouse, so as you would expect, it’s at the end of a long road (which is very bumpy in places!). Then you get to the cosy house, with a wood fire, and well stocked kitchen with welcome treats. Alan is very friendly as are the dogs and the chickens! My child loved feeding them every morning. The fresh farm eggs were such a treat. Cantick Head itself is stunning and we loved being in the hot tub and sauna. Note to other guests- all these are wood powered so stock up on firewood before you arrive (you can buy bags at the shop next to the Lyness ferry). My mum took one of the bikes out and we all enjoyed walking the coastline. This is a special stay, don’t hesitate to book!

Absolutely fantastic location, with fantastic scenery nearby. Had some wonderful walks, literally behind the property. The BBQ area was fantastic like the hot tub. I can’t say much more, but I will be looking to return ASAP Matthew is a fantastic host and nothing seems to be too much of a problem. Loved the place, oh and the Highland cows are awesome.

We loved our time in the bothy and hot tub, stunning views to wake up to each morning! Bothy was very clean and tidy, we would visit again for sure 😁

Stunning location. The ideal get away for peace and quiet. Eimear and Mackie were great hosts and extremely accommodating. Could not fault the lodge, full of thoughtful finishing touches. Will be coming back again in the future. Thanks again. Marc and Gemma

Such a beautiful little get away with so many little hidden gems nearby! Was quiet 24/7 and we loved the peace and the amount of sun the garden and hot tub got. Such a cosy cottage and made us feel at home straight away, worth the drive! Thank you for a lovely stay ❤️

we really enjoyed our stay :) See you again! Franzi & Marcel

Great location near to the sea. Would recommend to friends.

We stayed here for a week with our grown children and their partners. Alasdair's cottage was perfect. It immediately felt cosy and comfortable. The games barn was a fun addition, and a great place to store our bikes when not in use. We got the hot tub going and once up to temperature it was easy enough to keep it ticking over for several evenings. The kitchen was well appointed, enough utensils, crockery and pans for us to cook each night. The cottage is next to open fields and farm land with quiet roads that lead to Cublin Forest. This was an amazing place to explore on foot and on bike, especially the peninsula that runs along the Findhorn Estuary and into the sea. Deserted beach and inquisitive seals. We also drove about an hour north to do some hiking at Glenmore in the Cairngorms. After our busy days adventuring it was always great to return to the cottage to relax and sleep soundly in the super size comfortable beds.

We loved Taigh Neonach , it was a lovely cottage - it was beautifully decorated and a well appointed kitchen with a fridge and freezer compartment 👍😃 the bed was very comfortable and our dog settled into the cottage immediately. She particularly loved running around in the garden and as it was fenced we felt that she was perfectly safe. We had very friendly communication from Scott and Kirsty of MooseHoose Holidays and we would definitely recommend them as hosts. There was nothing we needed and they also added lovely touches of dog towels, biscuits, bowls and blankets much appreciated. We liked the porridge ,fruit, butter ,cheese and milk thank you.🤩 The shower was very good and the towels were fluffy. We would love to come back again. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Amanda , Andy and Ciara 🐕‍🦺🐾

We stayed three nights at this cozy place with our dog and felt very comfortable during the time, the house was very tidy and it is located in an absolutely calm area. It is a perfect location to visit Cairngorms Nationalpark and Loch Ness and one day we even visited the eastern parts and saw puffins. Would definitely recommend this place for everyone travelling Scotland.

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely cottage. It has everything we needed with very comfortable beds. Lots to see and do in the area. Would highly recommend a stay in this cottage.

Liz's place was perfect for a week of exploring the East Coast. Literally fall out of bed and you're on the beach its amazing. Few good pubs in walking distance too after a busy day on your feet! Recommend The Steamboat if you want some weekend entertainment or the Beach Hut if you want a pint with a beautiful view. Corgi Cottage was a perfect little base. Well equipped, cosy and comfortable. We packed for winter but had a fab week of sunshine! Will definitely be back one day.

Everything was amazing. Lovely home and area. Mairi was always proactive snd friendly if i had any questions or needed anything. Would definitely recommend the place to friends and family and hope to get the chance to stay here again.

A truly beautiful location! Instructions to find the house and description of the property were spot on. An empty key safe on our arrival was unexpected, but quickly rectified by the local housekeeper. The daily visits from the seals and osprey were brilliant, with great local walks from the house and lots of beautiful places to visit within 30 minutes drive. Would highly recommend for the wildlife, scenery and peace!

We had a fantastic 3 night stay at Bea’s cottage to attend the Gordon Castle Highland Games. Spotlessly clean and tidy on arrival. Very cosy cottage with a relaxed rustic feel. Great shower!! Large, secure pet friendly garden which our dog loved. Remember to bring apples or carrots to feed the lovely horses which come up to the fence! Elgin and shopping is approx 10mins away as is the fantastic Burghead beach, great for a long walk. Bea was always quick to respond to messages and the cottage was fantastic value for money for four of us. All in all, easy and relaxed stay for us, thank you Bea.

We stayed here for two nights before our return to the states to relax from our three weeks in Scotland. Pictures do not do it justice. So close to restaurants and pubs in town and the beach. Small lovely town and everyone is so friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Next time I will spend more time here!

We felt at home from the beginning, everything we needed was there. Neat, comfortable. Located at a road outside of a settlement; with the car you can reach hiking areas in about an hour. Recommended!

Fantastic cottage on the edge of the beautiful town of Strathpeffer. Fabulous surroundings and easy reach to the glorious highlands. The cottage is in excellent condition and very well equipped although we only used the kettle!! Comfortable inside and a beautiful sunny garden makes this a best value Airbnb in the area. Highly recommended

We really loved our time at Nana's Cottage. The standard of the interior was one of the best Air BnB's we have stayed in. Lovely linen, towels and the toiletries were all a real treat. The cottage was exceptionally clean and well equipped. It is very well situated in the centre of Findhorn with the fantastic Bakehouse just around the corner and the beach only a 5 minute walk away. There wasn't much information in the listing about the outside space but we really loved sitting on the bench at the door which gets the afternoon and evening sun. We hope to be back!

We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. The house was immaculately clean and tidy.

Inchard Cottage is in a wonderful position with spectacular views in a stunning part of the world. Jenny is a fantastic host and her cottage is warm, comfortable and extremely well fitted out. Nothing was too much trouble and we can't wait to return.

Beautiful location the property was well maintained and equipped for all your needs excellent well fenced garden for the dogs Paul the host was very helpful and quick to respond Enjoyed our stay very much

impeccable inside. looked new. very thematic. stairs manageable. Close to town, churches, Free Church of Scotland close by. Walk to Restaurants. Lots of hot water in matching bathrooms. nice kitchen. French Press coffee. Perfect for two couples or two golfing buddies. Very Reasonable!

We had a fabulous holiday in Ken’s cottage. We were very lucky with the weather. Hot and sunny every day. The cottage is in a fantastic position close to the beach. Really lovely cottage which exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended.
