Cottage vacation rentals in Brora

My husband and I loved staying at Rachael’s place. The location was so peaceful. The space was clean and cozy. We really enjoyed getting into the hot tub after a long day of exploring!! We’d definitely recommend staying here!

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 stayed here a few days in May. The Cottage is very remote, but you can reach the next village in arround 10 minutes by car. It offers great views of the surrounding area. the hot tub was amazing. Also the fireplace. we came to do some hikes and in the end decided to stay a whole day in the cottage, because it was so great.

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 ❤️

The house was wonderful - we were delighted with both the location and with the property. The house was immaculate, and beautifully furnished with some really lovely pictures and objects throughout. The rooms were all good-sized and bright with the kitchen/dining area overlooking the garden a real standout. It was very well maintained and it felt like a proper home from home. The location was really lovely too - nice and quiet with a very short walk to the beach. We particularly enjoyed our walks around the area and along to Chanonry Point to look for the dolphins. A local pub and a lovely restaurant were close by too which was a bonus! Our host, Eva, provided us with clear and concise information prior to our arrival and messaged us a couple of times during our stay to make sure that all was in order. This was very much appreciated. We would not hesitate to recommend the property to others, and we certainly plan to visit again!

Beautiful location - clear directions supplied by the host. Local pub serving good food within a 5 minute walk. Cottage itself was clean & within a quiet location. There is a hot tub in a separate building available at an extra cost - was also clean, ready to use with a plentiful supply of towels . Would recommend for a couple looking for a weekend away interested in walking or exploring the surrounding areas

We stayed here on our trip to the Scottish highlands, a wonderful place with incredible hosts! I really cannot recommend this enough, everything worked, there’s a hot tub and a sauna right in front and a magnificent garden that the owners walked us through.

Truly “off grid” in the literal sense! It runs on batteries and a generator!! Despite it not having wifi we all had great 4G so never felt truly disconnected thankfully. It’s such a private place with literally nobody for a square mile or more probably. I would say in the winter you will need a 4x4 to access as it’s a mile down a dirt track! Amazing place and can’t wait to revisit :)

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.

lovely stay with fantastic views from the living room and great walks on the doorstep

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.

What a lovely cottage! The bed is particularly comfy and Michelle has made a special effort with decor and details to make you feel at home and cosy. There’s a beautiful garden at the back too and she was really friendly and accommodating and I felt happy that brown dog also felt at home. Thanks for a lovely stay. Matilda and brown dog x

Wow – what an absolutely stunning seaside getaway! This vacation home was everything we hoped for and more. It was incredibly comfortable, super relaxing, and just had the perfect vibe for a peaceful escape. We especially loved the beautiful kitchen – cooking there was a real treat – and the view from the first floor? Breathtaking! Waking up to that every day was pure magic. We had such a wonderful time and felt right at home. We’re already looking forward to coming back – without a doubt, we’ll be returning! Thank you for such a memorable stay! 🌊💛

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!

Really lovely and well equipped little cottage in a beautiful area of the world. Very comfortable bed. The dogs loved the enclosed garden. Handy EV charger at the front. Caroline was very responsive. Highly recommended overall.

Beautiful cottage in a stunning location. The cottage was very well maintained, a welcoming atmosphere, warm and cosy. Very thoughtful touches, the fire was prepared in case we wanted to use it. Would definitely choose Shepherd Moon cottage again.

Very great place to stay!

Really enjoyed our stay here. it was so peaceful and quiet.The views were beautiful. We saw plenty of wildlife and deer even came to visit. Very good base for exploring surrounding areas. The house itself was very comfortable and had everything you would need for a week’s stay. Thank you for all the extras, the cake was amazing. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Lovely cottage in easy reach of local amenities and golf club. We all thought it was great.

The time at the cottage was incredibly beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed every second there. Peter was incredibly helpful, super nice and had great recommendations for our time in the cottage. The cottage was totally beautifully decorated, cozy and everything was thoughtful. From the hot water bottle, to the firewood, good equipment in the kitchen... We were really happy and already miss life there! We would come back any time and fell a little more in love with Scotland!

It was perfect for what we needed thank you!

This cottage is one of a kind. What a beautiful and authentic Scottish home and surroundings. Yvonne was very responsive when we needed her. Incredible stay!

Thanks for a great stay!!

5* place, don’t miss out if you get the chance to stay here! The cottage was fantastic, a real home from home and immaculately clean. We had everything we needed, full kitchen, comfortable beds and good bedding, and so spacious everywhere. Great to have option of utility room too. But then you see the view! WOW, utterly beautiful and breathtaking….. sitting outside with a glass of wine or a cuppa and just watching the sea /weather… the hills/mountains in the background… we got some great sunsets and the peace and calm of this place was enviable. Sadly no dolphins spotted this time for us! Duncan was a fab host, giving so much info on the house, local area and places to visit further away… I’d definitely suggest a walk/drive to the lighthouse in Portmahomack late afternoon and sit on the rocks for a while.. feels like you’re on the top of the world! We left calm and happy and feeling very well looked after, thank you Duncan and Susan! We’d love to come back!
