12th July 2021:

We had a lovely stay at Willowbarn. The accommodation was first class with plenty of room and everything you could need. Everything was spotlessly clean and you see there was a lot of attention to detail. A beautiful food basket was also waiting for us with lots of local produce, all of which was an unexpected delicious surprise. My husband made good use of the bikes at Willowbarn and there was lots of great dog walks literally on our doorstep. It’s a great location to visit all surrounding areas, including Findhorn, Nairn and Lossiemouth. We would definitely return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

La Boheme at the Findhorn Foundation does great take away pizza. The Kimberley in Findhorn is lovely for a drink and also has great food. The Dava Way (near Willowbarn) is great to walk your dog.

Would Recommend: Yes

Excellent stay away! Very comfortable, warm and spacious for a family of 4. The accommodation is equipped with everything you need and a nice wee bottle of wine on arrival was greatly appreciated.

Great location for walking the Moray Coastal Trail and visiting all the towns round about. Beautiful part of Scotland and easily accessible by car.

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd October 2019:

This we our 3rd visit, and the 1st for a friend. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and the weather was great.Hopefully will be back next year.

There are plenty of places to visit in Moray, lovely beaches, parks and you have the wonderful Cairngorm. Would readily recommend Kristoffs Restaurant, great meals, and friendly service.

Would Recommend: Yes

10th September 2019:

An absolute gem - of a property...and a host couple! We could not have been made to feel more comfortable and welcome by Carlo and Fiona (and their gorgeous dogs). The barn feels cosy but has enough space for four people to find their own space (especially two year olds playing hide and seek!). The space is bright and modern and has absolutely everything we needed. The location is stunning - close to all amenities but a world away from the bustle. We had to deal with an medical emergency when we were there and the kindness and support offered by Carlo and Fiona at a tough time was incredible. It is at times like that when you really appreciate the difference between a host and a business owner. We were so touched by their kindness.

Findhorn beach for a show stopping view on a morning walk; The Kimberley Inn for a cold beer and hot, fresh seafood afterwards; and, a visit to Brodie for some great gifts and a great cuppa and baking for the afternoon.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you so much for your kind comments. We were more than delighted to help in any way we could and just so relieved that it all worked out so well in the end. You were delightful guests and a pleasure to have met you and your lovely family

31st July 2019:

Great place to stay, we travelled for work and the accommodation was like a home from home, everything we needed and the host was extremely helpful and friendly, look forward to staying again!

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your positive review, it was a pleasure to have met you both and thank you for booking at Miele Properties

20th July 2019:

I was extremely impressed with the accommodations. Very comfortable with everything anyone could ask for on a holiday. Mornings were the most enjoyable with bird songs to wake to. I would have stayed longer if personal plans could have allowed it.

Unfortunately my stay was work oriented and was not able to tour but do know the area is filled with history and local to many activities. Biking, fishing,hiking, site seeing - list could go on.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th June 2019:

Lovely bright apartment. We really enjoyed our stay and thank you Carlo for the warm welcome, the bottle of wine and the super extra bottle of bubbly for our golden wedding anniversary. Very kind.

Went to Findhorn beach and Logie Steading - both definitely worth a visit. Elgin is a very good shopping destination.

31st October 2018:

The barn was perfect. It's in a great, secluded spot but not too far from local amenities. We had everything we needed and were very warm and snug, even when it was freezing outside. Carlo was very welcoming and couldn't do enough to help. Would definitely recommend.

Forres is a pretty little town with everything you need. Findhorn is definitely worth a trip too, as is the Glen Moray Distillery and Johnstons of Elgin woollen mill both in Elgin.

20th June 2018:

We were greeted at Willowbarn by Carlo who said 'this is your home for the next few days ... enjoy". It certainly was the home of our dreams and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The accommodation and facilities were exceptional and we were sad that our stay was far too short. We hope to return again as soon as possible. It is also refreshing to find excellent accommodation which welcomes dogs.

We weren't very adventurous as we were visiting family who live nearby so we spent much of our time with them but Willowbarn is conveniently situated for country pursuits at Logie Steading or taking in the sea air at Findhorn. There is something for everyone in this area.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your positive review, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Willowbarn and look forward to meeting you again

Loved the place ....was impressed from the time we pulled into the drive and seen the stunning grounds..bedrooms kitchen and living rooms and the two bathrooms were all kept up to a high standard well supplied and clean ...these guys offer so much from bbq equipment to bikes..there’s a lovely seating area to the rear and would highly recommend this place to anyone ...carlo was a lovely guy and couldn’t do more to help us with anything and was easy to talk to and approach also made us feel most welcome

Their are plenty of essentials around like restaurants ,cafes,pubs,shops if you would like to eat out and a cupple of fuel stations in the area also a big Tesco and Lidl’s if you require a shop...tip for traveling up there is not to push your fuel to far as some stretches on the way up you don’t see a fuel station for a while but some of the nicest views you will see in Scotland

Would Recommend: Yes

Thanks for your positive reviews , we get great pleasure from hearing that our guests have enjoyed their stay at Willowbarn

Best accommodation we have ever stayed at couldn't think of anything that wasn't supplied. So peaceful and the owners where so helpful couldn't do enough for us. The grounds where beautiful with all kinds of wildlife including dear and badgers will definitely be staying here again and the rates were excellent.

Mosset tavern in Forres is a 10 minute drive and is excellent. Cardamom Splce is excellent for an Indian meal or takeaway there is a large Tesco just a 10 minute drive for your essentials.

Willowbarn is run by terrific hosts, kind, very friendly and doing their best for the guests’ comfort. The facility is modern, spacious, elegant, clean, very peaceful and with a large safe and well-kept outside space all providing a wonderful homely feel. All this is available at a very affordable price. When looking somewhere to stay North of Scotland, this is the place to be!

There are numerous activities one can undertake close by starting with the whisky trail next door, golfing, museums and castles visits, beach activities along the Morray Firth; an endless list really.

Would Recommend: Yes

Thank you for your kind comments. We are delighted you and your family enjoyed your stay at Willowbarn

15th April 2017:

25th September 2016:

Fiona and Carlo are a very friendly and welcoming couple. Nothing I's too much trouble for them. The accommodation is wonderful, it is very well appointed and furnished to a high standard. Very light and airy, with videos and games to amuse if weather is not as one would expect. We were very lucky weather was very good, didn't really want to come home.

We love Findhorn, there's plenty to see in Forres, Nelson Tower, Grant Park, Sueno Stone and of course the delightful Benromach distillery and Dallas Dhu. The Bothy at Burghead is a good place to eat, as too is the Sunninghill at Elgin. Nairn, and Lossiemouth are within easy distance, and aapprox 38mls there is Aviemore and the lovely Loch Morlich for water sport walking etc, plus ski lift. We love it in Scotland and I've enjoyed every holiday there for the last 60 years, if you've not been to Scotland, you don't know what you are missing.

Would Recommend: Yes

We were delighted to have you all stay at Willowbarn. Thank you for your kind comments and we hope to welcome you all back soon Carlo and Fiona

2nd September 2016:

Amazing place to stay and great hosts.

Do the cycle trails in the local area.

Would Recommend: Yes

25th July 2016:

Carlo and Fiona are incredibly welcoming and we found Willowbarn to be beautifully decorated with luxurious bathrooms and very comfortable beds. Would highly recommend a holiday in Willowbarn! Really loved the cycle runs we took which are easily accessible and scenic. Thanks Fiona and Carlo for a lovely stay :)

Cycles to Forres, visit sea village Findhorn and various beaches such as Nairn beach and Rose Isle beach. Brodie castle is fun to see too.

Would Recommend: Yes

20th July 2016:

Fiona and Miele were really warm and gave us a lovely welcome including fresh flowers, wine and biscuits waiting for us in the barn. Sorted out the wifi issue quickly which saved us from too much moaning from our teenagers! Great customer service.

This is a fantastic place if you have a dog. We took our 1 yr Golden Retriever and he was in his element. Great forest walks at Culbin and Roseisle has the beach and forest to explore. Only issue we had was finding places to eat where we could take both dog and kids. Pub in Forres lets dogs into bar but not kids and let's kids into lounge area but not dogs!! Other than that perfect location to explore villages on Moray coast. The Dolphin centre at Spey Bay is worth a visit. We spotted the Dolphins which was great.

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd June 2016:

We had a lovely trip to Willowbarn for a family wedding. The facilities were top notch and extremely comfortable. We will return in the future, there is no doubt about that.

Thank you for your wonderful comments. We get such pleasure from knowing that you have enjoyed your stay at Willowbarn and that the whole family had a great time. We would love to welcome you all back again. Kind regards Carlo and Fiona

16th August 2015:

Enjoyed a very comfortable week here. Accommodation is excellent with extremely comfortable beds. Hosts very helpful and provided suggestions for activities. Facilities were very good but we would suggest a patio area or raised deck / balcony out behind the barn to enjoy sitting out as the present area is more of a yard. The grounds are lovely but a designated guest area would be a plus.

Kimberley inn is good for lunch/ supper. N58 sea life cruise is fun. Plenty of good beaches. If you have long haired dogs then treat with tick repellant. We forgot and our dogs seem to have been on a tick collecting mission!

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd June 2015:

Willowbarn was in beautiful suroundings. The accomodation was very clean, well appointed and with every facility needed. The hosts were very friendly and helpful.

Had another wonderful stay here in July to celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary - brought back many lovely memories as we got married on the grounds of this amazing place. Willowbarn was as inviting and homely as we remembered and it was a great few days relaxing. As always, lots to see and do in the area - bikes were there for our use although we didn't make the most of them as husband had a sore knee...! Many thanks again to Carlo and Fiona for the kindness they always extend, they are incredibly friendly and generous hosts!

Would Recommend: Yes

10th August 2014:

Fiona & Carlo were very friendly, helpful and welcoming - the flowers, wine and cookies were a lovely surprise when we arrived. Willowbarn gave us a touch of luxury for our week's holiday - everything you could possibly want and more (we loved the underfloor heating in the bathrooms!) The location is stunning - we couldn't believe the variety of wildlife we saw wandering round the grounds! Being on the outskirts of Forres was ideal, being so close to both the coast and the mountains there was so much to do. We will be back - thank you!

We enjoyed good food at the Mosset Tavern (make sure you book first!) and Logie Steading. Favourite places to visit - Culbin and Roseisle (Forestry Commission owned) Findhorn beach and the Dolphin Centre at Spey Bay. Our son (14) also enjoyed Landmark Park at Carrbridge. Everywhere we visited was well presented, clean and tidy and reasonably priced (if not free!)

Would Recommend: Yes

2nd August 2014:

So welcoming ,friendly and very helpful.

Tips; include seeing the Findhorn marina and visiting Findhorn and Roseiele beaches/bay: sunset particularly spectacular), River tube and White water rafting and Cranloch riding centre is excellent. Inverness on a rainy day and Eden Court theatre.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd July 2014:

Absolutely fantastic. Willowbarn truly is luxury in every sense - comfortable, clean, well appointed and well situated to enjoy all that the Moray area has to offer. Carlo and Fiona are the most welcoming of hosts and could not do enough for you, Fiona even let our daughter borrow her hybrid bike for the weekend, although they provide a great selection of other bikes. I urge anyone seeking a peaceful luxury break to book Willowbarn.

The beaches we visited - Findhorn, Roseisle etc - were stunning. Unfortunately as we were heavily committed family wise this weekend we did not explore as much as we would have liked. Culloden battlefield was interesting and atmospheric. Recommend the fish and chips from Carlo's shop in Forres.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd April 2014:

Superb accommodation with wonderful facilities and the most friendly and helpful hosts you could wish for. Certainly the best place we have stayed in Scotland to date. The position of the property and surrounding landscape is fantastic as well.

Ideally located to explore everything along the Moray coast and beyond. We even went to see the polar bears in Kincraig only 30 mins away. Ideal for salmon fishing too with Altyre Estate, Forres Association and Moray Estates water on your doorstep.

Would Recommend: Yes

14th April 2014:

Just fantastic. Lovely spacious, clean, warm, comfortable and modern accommodation with so many extras thrown in. Loved the bikes and touring the area. Fiona and Carlo very welcoming and helpful.

Willowbarn is right next to the disused Dava railway line. Excellent for walking into Forres or mountain biking the other direction.

Would Recommend: Yes

4th November 2013:

Loved every moment - plenty to do in the surrounding areas but also a lovely place to relax in. We will definitely be back.

Findhorn Beach is stunning but if you prefer sand it 's worth venturing to Nairn. Forres town is very pretty and for convenience there is a large supermarket and it's only 2 miles away. The beautiful old railway walk is only 2 1/2 miles from Willowbarn into Forres - highly recommended.

Would Recommend: Yes

26th October 2013:

Accommodation was beautifully presented, cosy and comfortable. Carlo and Fiona were friendly and went out of their way to be welcoming and helpful.

Using the bikes provided we cycled to Findhorn and had a great day on the beach, lunch at the Kimberley Inn by the fire. Fishing in the lochans was fun and rewarding too! Locally, dinner at the Mosset Tavern was lovely.

Would Recommend: Yes

22nd October 2013:

Great stay here! Fantastic place!

Kimberley Inn is lovely for food and drinks

Would Recommend: Yes

21st October 2013:

High standard accommodation. Flexibility of dates (i.e. not full week) really helpful, as was the use of the bikes , specially as the area is best explored on 2 wheels. The hosts were attentive and hospitable without being intrusive. Being allowed to cast on the large ponds was great fun- but the trout were always safe!

Culbin forrest and walk at Logie Steadings to Randolph's Leap were highlights but we just loved the Dava Way north to Forres and south too. A night walk along this was an adventure for our boys. Be mindful that some attractions have reduced opening hours/days from October!

Would Recommend: Yes

3rd October 2013:

Very nice barn in a peaceful location with lots of freedom for kids to explore the surrounding garden. Easy access to a nice cycle path into Forress. The accommodation was a highlight of the trip.

Beaches at Findhorn and Nairn were both excellent and only 15 minutes by car. If you want to go to the Mosset tavern on a Sunday afternoon book or you will be disappointed. They have free face painting and kids activities so it's very popular. We drove along to Banff and and Pennan (local hero ) not sure either were worth the trip. we dropped into Loggie Steading on the way out of Forres and liked it all including the coffee shop and play park. Didn't have time for river walk but it looked nice. If you are going down the A9 stop at the watermill in Blair Atholl for lunch. Soup and sandwiches all great.

Would Recommend: Yes

23rd September 2013:

Willowbarn is comfortable and beautifully presented. A real home from home. The location is great. A quiet hideaway, but you have easy access to the beaches, castles and up to the highlands.

Findhorn beach! Endless sand beaches where you can walk for hours with incredible views to the Moray Firth. Excellent coffee at the Marina.

Would Recommend: Yes

31st August 2013:

Willowbarn provided us with lovely, modern, spacious accommodation. We had good weather and were able to make full use of the bikes that Carlo and Fiona have provided for the use of their guests. We all really enjoyed our stay at Willowbarn and hope that we will return again.

We used the bikes to explore the area and found this a really good way to see local sites. The cycle route 1 goes through Forres and we found the country lanes were quiet. We would recommend coffee at Brodie Castle and then Basil's at Nairn harbour for lunch.

Would Recommend: Yes

19th August 2013:

Very friendly and welcoming. The accomodation is very thoroughly and thoughtfully furnished. All sorts of little things that make the stay so much easier. A full kitchen which meant cooking for a large family or group is easy. Comfy large beds and big showers, always a winner for me. The whole place is new, so spotless and modern. No complaints, a terrific holiday let which everyone loved from the toddler to Grandad. Thanks again to Carlo and Fiona

The grounds are huge and you have the freedom to use them, including the fishing lakes. We had dinner at the Mosset Tavern in Forres which was lovely. Good food, very friendly. The beaches at Findhorn and Roseisle are terrific, definately worth a visit with.

Would Recommend: Yes

5th August 2013:

Very welcoming and concerned about everything being correct. Excellent communication leading up to the visit, and making sure everything is fine, without being intrusive. Highly recommended.

Rafford is on the start of the recommended tourist distillery route. Cardhu was an excellent tour. The beach at Kinloss was fantastic.

Would Recommend: Yes

13th July 2013:

Willowbarn is an absolute find - peaceful, tranquil location, immaculately clean and spacious with everything you need - Carlo and Fiona have thought of everything and really cannot do enough to ensure your stay is as perfect as can be. They are amazing hosts and super people. We got married there a week ago and it was absolutely thanks to them that it was such an amazing day. We loved our time there and it will always hold very special memories - just can't wait to go back again!

There are loads of things to do in the area - boat trips, Pluscarden Abbey, Califer Viewpoint, Brodie Castle, Findhorn, Dallas Dhu distillery (lovely whisky), Elgin. You could easily spend a week or more here and still find lots to do. Local restaurant I recommend is Knockomie Hotel, amazingly helpful and friendly staff and fantastic food.

Would Recommend: Yes

1st July 2013:

Willowbarn is in a lovely quiet location. The accommodation is beautiful, modern and very clean. The owners are very friendly, helpful and go the extra mile to make your stay enjoyable without being intrusive.We wish we could have stayed longer, will be back next year hopefully! and will definitely recommend willowbarn to friends and family.

We borrowed the owners bikes and enjoyed the short cycle to Forres to watch the European pipe band championships which was a great day out, well organised and most enjoyable.

Would Recommend: Yes

Superb accommodation. Great location and lovely hosts. Couldn't be better! A real find.
