Guest Reviews
- Scot (10/5): I highly recommend this accommodation, easily the best I have come across in a few years! Thank you. - Very roomy, well equipped and very modern. It was just my son and I but this would would make a wonderful family holiday home. Hayley, the host, was responsive to all our needs and nothing was too much trouble.
- Paul (10/5): Lovely experience - The engineers had a very comfortable one night stay No hot water in the sinks the first night, never investigated further but possible issue with the boiler
- Craig (10/5): - This Accommodation was perfect for our men working in the area, very clean, comfortable and great location would definitely recommend if visiting the area
- Lasse (9/5): -
- Alexander (8/5): - Gute Lage, Dunstabzugshaube funktioniert nicht
- Duncan (7/5): -
- Jørgen (7/5): God placering - Fantastisk god beliggenhed lige i centrum, med restauranter og butikker inden for kort gå afstand Opvarmningen virkede ikke, billedet viser ikke huset men udsigten
- Greg (10/5): -
- fiona (5/5): Felt it was a bit neglected as roof had damage already so leak wasn’t new - The location was good There was a leak in roof when you used the shower water leaked through onto bunk bed below we only realised as grandson and dad sitting on bunk bed playing and water started dripping on them Cupboard door in kitchen almost fell of when we opened it
- Tommaso (8/5): -
- Tristan (8/5): Great location for Dufftown! - Amazing location and comfortable stay
Parking is on street and easy outside
Close to glenfiddich and balvenie (can walk to them)
Amazing area to stay in general! Needs some minor repair work but otherwise great!
- Emanuel (10/5): -

- Graeme (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jasver (9/5): Lovely stay in a the very welcoming whisky capital - The location was superb and everyone was very friendly. Really enjoyed our stay in Dufftown, especially the Glenfiddich Distillery tour and the whisky line heritage train. It can be difficult to get taxis, maybe need to prearrange before travel or have a hire car.
- Ian (9/5): Superb -
- Mark (8/5): Very good -
- Cameron (9/5): Great location and had excellent stay here - Great location and clean and tidy
Comfortable beds
Everything you could need Ensuite was a little small. But still functional
- John (10/5): Spot on. Just what we wanted. - Warmth and location. Facilities
- Glenn (10/5): Exceptional -
- Edward (4/5): We’d likely choose a different place next time. - It was conveniently located to all our destinations.
The owner was very responsive when we found the WiFi to be out upon our arrival. She made the trip out the next morning and had it fixed within minutes. We’ve traveled extensively throughout the UK and Europe and know to expect some quirks here and there.
Here’s what you need to know or where this property came up short.
The second bathroom is on the main floor instead of on the same floor as the twin bedroom. If staying in that room, be prepared to walk down steps to get there.
Both bathrooms could use a deep cleaning with bleach. There was a lot of mold/mildew in the grout.
The toilet seat in the downstairs bathroom is broken.
The mattresses are all well beyond their useful life and some of the bedding had an unpleasant odor.
- Steven (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mr (9/5): Fantastic location in a fantastic environment - Fantastic location in a wonderful environment I could never find how to turn the kitchen extractor fan on
- David (6/5): Disappointing 😞 - Lack of washing machine. The ensuite was so small, the shower couldn't be used as there was no screen to stop water getting everywhere and you had to dry the toilet before you could use it.
- Pauline (7/5): Very good location in Dufftown. - The property was clean and comfortable. We were in an excellent location for walking around Dufftown. The heaters were great. Facilities were good. Close to restaurants. A number of stairs to apartment if lifting heavy bags.
The bathroom in the ensuite needed a screen.
- Kyle (8/5): Very good -
- Pierreke (7/5): Good -
- Richard (8/5): Very good -
- Kenneth (10/5): Exceptional -
- Brock (7/5): Comfortable stay for a short trip in the heart of Dufftown - Excellent location in the heart of Dufftown and near a couple of takeaways. The apartment was spacious enough for the five of us. The bathroom wasn't really up to standards, and water got everywhere from the shower. There were some dirty cutlery in the drawer in the kitchen. Curtains were quite thin in the bedrooms.
- Peter (9/5): Superb -
- Carol (7/5): Good stay , very helpful hosts - Apartment was bit tired in area , decoration .
Double bed was bit bumpy
- Stillerud (8/5): Very good - Fantastic location in the middle of town, with views of the main streets.
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Walter (7/5): Good -
- Jennifer (5/5): Passable - I liked the location and full kitchen. The view of the clock tower and town and valley was beautiful. We made a full breakfast. A lot. There were dirty towels in the kitchen and bathrooms. The sheets had been used (looked to be many times) and had pubic hairs, boogers, and dirt on the sheets, blankets, and pillow cases. The bathrooms were pretty gross. The toilet upstairs was barely attached and was in a closet with the shower. The shower was filthy and the hot water box did not work so it was either boiling or ice cold. The shower downstairs was filthy. The couches had crumbs all over them and in terms of comfort were rock hard. With all this said I will say that once I contacted the property manager regarding the cleanliness concerns she responded instantly. We left for dinner and when we got back she had made all the beds clean and left clean towels in the bathrooms. Dirty towel left in the kitchen. We appreciated the responsiveness. The beds were very uncomfortable.
- Michael (4/5): Disappointing -
- Lorenzo (10/5): Great stay in Speyside! - Very nice location and beautiful home, super clean and the WI FI worked perfectly. The organisation for the key collection was very smooth with no complication. Hayley was super helpful during our stay.
- David (7/5): Good - Location was ideal for work commitments
- Kevin (7/5): A very convenient apartment, centrally located in a quiet little town. - Check-in was easy with a lock box, and communication was a breeze using the Booking app. The property is located in the center of town, across the street from their beautiful clock tower. The apartment is very large, with a full kitchen, and also almost too much room for just two people. A great value if you are staying with friends or family. We were very centrally located to many famous whisky distilleries, and stayed in town to tour some of them. The main rooms downstairs smelled a bit like someone was smoking or drinking during a previous stay. The bathrooms were fine, but both toilet seats were loose to the point of falling off, and that is a complaint I read on a previous review.
- Kate (5/5): Passable -
- Colin (8/5): Comfy stay in heart of Moray. - Central location - right in town centre. Host was very helpful, we also had safe storage for the bike. Rooms comfy and kitchen well equipped - everything we needed. Two toilets was absolute luxury. Not sure if previous guests had been smokers - was smell of smoke. Also - the loo seats (both of them!) were loose - most distressing and an easy fix.
- James (7/5): Good - 3 bedrooms, milk in the fridge, comfortable lounge. Stairs, toilet seat not fitted properly, no coffee table.
- Michael (7/5): Good - Location and size of apartment Beds were old and uncomfortable. Apartment needs some maintenance
- Joe (8/5): Good location, very spacious apartment - Good location for visiting distilleries. Good WI-FI. Very spacious apartment. Could’ve been a wee bit cleaner. Needs a new shower floor.
- Dianna (7/5): Good - We came up for Dufftown Games, location was fantastic, apartment was clean & tidy. Could do with labels on immersion heaters in kitchen as it was day 2 before we had hot water from the taps!!
- Stanley (9/5): Superb - Good location. Have sufficient beds for the family.
- Amanda (10/5): Absolutely enjoyable! - Beautiful town and lovely apartment. Nothing
