Family-friendly holiday rentals in Elgin

Lovely and peaceful, price was ideal for such a big house. Everything was thought about in this home, nothing was needed other than the food and drinks. Everyone had a great time. Cinema had a huge collection of dvds and ps4 games. Sauna was excellent. We were surprised when beautiful peacocks walked up the drive way. Thanks again. Carly & Family.

Susan was great with info about the house and very quick to reply to messages. We had a great weekend and the house and all the amenities were perfect for us. Thank you

Kristy’s place was great. Had everything we needed. Comfortable, quiet, kitchen was complete. Hot tub was very nice!! Kristy met us at check in and it simple and straightforward. Would be delighted to be there again!

Fantastic place for a family get together. Plenty of space and great location. Linda was great to deal with and would highly recommend staying at Balnacraig. Second time there and hopefully not the last.

Wonderful accommodation and hosts. The location and views are amazing, the house itself has a great layout with loads of space and very homely. The garden is brilliant, especially for children and the hot tub went down a treat. Alan and family were very welcoming and gave some nice personal touches which were greatly appreciated. Would definitely stay again.

The wee love nest was so cosy and beautifully decorated. The attention to detail is like nothing I've seen before! Just such a beautiful place to be and nice little walks in the surrounding area. The hot tub was absolutely wonderful and the hosts were incredibly welcoming and easy to chat to! 100% will be back in the future!

I had an amazing stay!The place was stunning,extremely beautiful, quiet, and peaceful with breathtaking views. All the amenities were exactly as described, and everything was clean and comfortable. The small town nearby (just a 10-minute drive) was charming and convenient for anything I needed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

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 :)

Our third visit and it won’t be our last. We love the location and the cottage is so cosy. It’s quickly become our favourite getaway and this was a January holiday rather than a summer one and it’s just as magical!

What a magical cottage in such an extraordinarily special place! My son loved the rock pools and finding "treasures" on the shore, and I loved seeing and hearing the sea at all times, both inside and outside the really comfortable cottage. Thank you Elaine for a beautiful stay!

Louise made this part of our birthday trip to Scotland special by writing us a birthday card and gave us a little gift! It was a very nice touch. We chose this place as it is close to a few of the hikes we wanted to do but it turned out to be a nice albeit quirky place to come back to and it had pretty much everything we needed.

The cottage and lcoation are absolutely beautiful; it was perfect for a weekend of walking with my two dogs and relaxing in the evening by the fire. Very quiet and peaceful and the back garden is fantastic. I would definetly come again if I'm back in the area.

Lyn of Sheval Croft is a piece of heaven on Earth. It was incredibly charming inside and sitting in the dome in the evening watching the sunset was so peaceful. We loved watching the horses roam in the field behind the house. Jennifer was a great host giving us incredibly detailed instructions that made our stay seamless. She also provided fantastic recommendations for in home whiskey tasting by Steve and local in home meal delivery by Mac & Cat. We hope to make it back to Speyside and would absolutely stay here again!

Beautiful cottage with everything you need, quiet and very peaceful. Will definitely book again.

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!

A lovely stay at Blaeberry Cottage. It had everything I needed for a 3 night stay, very well equipped and very clean. A lovely garden for the dog to roam around. Would definitely recommend!

We absolutely loved our stay at Wee Ness Cottage! The flat was surprisingly spacious, spotlessly clean, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need. Its location was ideal—tucked away in a peaceful courtyard that offered a quiet retreat, yet just steps away from a grocery store in one direction and the river in the other. A short stroll across the nearby bridge brought us to a lively area filled with fantastic restaurants, charming shops, and plenty to explore. We couldn’t have asked for a better home base. Highly recommend this lovely apartment!

Lovely place to stay with spectacular views! Tranquil surroundings and beautifully decorated come. Would highly recommend, all the amenities nearby in Lairg.

My group of 4 really enjoyed our stay at Ken’s! We were here for 2 nights. We had a car so it was easy to go out and about. The city centre of Inverness is very close with a lot to see and eat. We enjoyed an afternoon at Culloden Battlefield, lunch at Playback, dinner at Cheese & Tomatin and a drink at McGregor’s. We also visited Castle Tavern for a dinner one night. Would definitely recommend Ken’s stay!

Rachel's place was lovely and homely. Lots of space inside and out. Within easy driving distance of lots of speyside.

We had a lovely short break. Stunning view, clean and beautiful accommodation, well stocked kitchen for all our needs. A really lovely break thank you

Fantastic place had a great time visiting our daughter and her husband. The local area is absolutely stunning with lots to do and the accommodation is so cosy you could just stay there very easily. Welcome pack was incredible and a lovely touch. Dog friendly and the walks straight from the house were perfect for the dog. Highly recommend the harbour lights restaurant and the galley fish and chip shop walking distance from the cottage. Had a wonderful time and will definitely be back. Thank you Wendy.

Short summary: We had a great stay and felt right at home. Everything was just as described. Andrew was very nice and always available. A few observations: Parking was right in front of the place and the area felt safe. There are instructions throughout the house, but most of them are just common sense (at least for us), so they were easy to follow. Regarding the washing machine, avoid using the "delicate" setting as it may leave the clothes too wet. Electricity is paid separately, which is good—you only pay for what you actually consume. The main source of consumption is the heating, while the rest averages around £2–£4 per day. Looking forward to coming back in the future! :)

We stayed at the beginning of our NC500 tour and the cottage was beautiful inside. It looks like the pictures and was very charming. We appreciated some thoughtful touches - the bread, milk, orange juice etc. Shower was really good and although the beds are singles, they were super comfy. It would be good for families too.
