The house is extremely comfortable and relaxing and provided us with the ideal venue for a family gathering for the weekend. The kitchen is perfectly stocked, we had books aplenty and a homely environment in which to spend quality time together-a rare and special thing in today’s busy world. Evelyn and Andy could not have been more helpful and it was great to learn a little more about the history of Binsness. The garden and grounds are beautiful and the early mornings spent in the shelter of the Findhorn Bay were truly stunning. A real hidden gem - we hope to return again at some point.

A group of us (15 adults) stayed in Binsness for a week in April 2023 and loved every minute of our stay. Highlights include the walk round Findhorn Bay to see the seals on the amazing empty beach, the lovely sunny woods full of bird song, the views of Findhorn Bay (which can be seen from the windows in the west wing of the house), including lots of waders, especially when the tide was going out, the big lounge with loads of comfy armchairs, the dining room which Lindsay had set up to allow all 15 of us to eat together and the large en suite master bedroom on 1st floor, with its view across the lawn and garden to Findhorn bay. We were well looked after by both Lindsay and Andy. Magical week, that we will all remember fondly for years to come.

What a delightful house. It was beautifully situated in gorgeous grounds. Lovely walks in the woods and I was thrilled to see red squirrels. The beach was lovely and clean and went on for miles. The house was well-equipped for 15 people, the kitchen had everything you needed. The beds were comfortable and plenty of towels. Great that it had one massive living-room, and another tucked away, plenty of space to split out into groups or seek a quiet space.

Our New Year team this year numbered 13, including a couple from Germany. We always rent a big house for New Year, but Binsness was unanimously voted the best we had been to. A spacious and very stylish house which easily accommodated us all in comfort, with memorable evenings round the dinner table and in front of the fire in the sitting room. The setting is magnificent, and we truly enjoyed having our own private forest and coastline to explore – quite a pleasure to look across at the hordes on the Findhorn side (although we did visit the excellent Crown & Anchor Inn..). Findhorn Bay is a birders paradise and instantly accessible from the house. Overall a great party and our German friends in particular (to whom we allocated the master suite) were blown away by it all – including the ceilidh outside the house on Hogmanay! I should particularly mention that Lindsay and Andy were very attentive and immediately on hand to address any issues.
