Enjoy a picnic in the woodland dell and watch the squirrels scamper. Quarry Gardens Lodge, a serene retreat for two, is the most secret of cottages. It’s also beautifully refurbished.
This eight-acre Walled Garden, with its rare plants and espaliered trees, is open daily to the public. There’s a wooden play area for children, a shop selling estate botanicals and gin, and fine produce grown for the award-winning café, whose ethos is ‘plant – pick – plate.’
Stock up or eat out in neighbouring Fochabers, a half-hour stroll. Head off for the dunes and wildfowl of Findhorn (25 miles), or the distilleries of the Laigh of Moray, where half of Scotland’s glorious whiskies are produced.
I highly recommend this stunning, tranquil and beautiful cottage. It's location is perfect for a romantic hideaway and for gentle walks around this private estate. I thoroughly recommend that you visit the beautiful walled gardens here and the lovely tea room and shop. Everyone I have spoken with are helpful and friendly .. we loved every minute.
