Cedar Cottage is located in a fantastic woodland setting just four miles from the small town of Forres in Morayshire. The traditional forestry cottage although renovated retains much of its original charm and features. This cottage is ideal for those guests looking for a peaceful location with forestry walks and trails on your doorstep. Although it is equally suited to those that would like to have a base to explore either the Morayshire coastline or Speyside.
The accommodation at the cottage is all on the one level and consists of a sitting room with a traditional open fire, a spacious kitchen with a dining table, a double bedroom, a twin bedroom, and a bathroom with a bath with shower. Outside the enclosed garden is quite a sun trap and is fully enclosed making it ideal for the pet owner, and garden furniture and a barbecue are available. The cottage is furnished throughout in a traditional style and the owner has equipped it to a good standard.
Forres is a beautiful town which has a good range of facilities including parks and gardens, a number of cafes, restaurants and a couple of supermarkets. The surrounding area offers much for the visitor including various distilleries such as Dallas Dhu which is located just a few miles away, the Culbin Sands and Forest, which is ideal for mountain bikers and walkers and is home to a RSPB reserve. The picturesque coastal villages of Findhorn and Burghead are just a short drive away and the Moray coast an ideal place to spot the dolphins that the area is well known for.
For the more adventurous walker The Moray Coastal Trail is a 50 mile waymarked trail that runs between Forres and Cullen, en-route you'll have cliff top views and pass sheltered coves and beaches, and a chance to spot the wide variety of local birdlife.
Further afield the small town of Nairn which is often referred to as the "Brighton of Scotland" has a fabulous sandy beach and a seafront promenade. The annual Highland Games with its pipe bands and athletics takes place in August each year and is always popular with visitors. Not far from here you will find Cawdor Castle with its gardens, the castle has links with Shakespeare's Macbeth and is open to the public to view, please note that this is seasonal. Brodie Castle is also in the vicinity and makes an ideal choice for a day out.
The City of Inverness, Capital of the Highlands is located just 30 miles away and offers all the usual attractions including a museum, art gallery and Culloden Battlefield which is located on the outskirts.

As nature lovers and touring cyclists, we much appreciated the location and facilities of this delightful cottage.
Fabulous place, clean and cozy. Ticked all the boxes for us, great walks right outside the door and Forres is only 4.8 miles away so we walked it as we have two Weimaraners. Lovely garden which is enclosed and secure for your fur babies. We would watch the visitors to the garden saw a host of feathery friends including a Woodpecker, plus Squirrels. We also travelled to different beaches and went Dolphin spotting too. Hope to be back soon ????
Another fantastic week at Cedar Cottage. Once again we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing in this perfect secluded cottage. We enjoyed the beautiful walks straight from the cottage with our dogs as well as being able to watch the daily antics of the red squirrels, great spotted woodpeckers, jays and too many other bird species to mention in the garden. Thank you for sharing this beautiful haven with us which is an ideal base for exploring the surrounding area too.
This was our 3rd visit and it never disappoints. It's idyllic and Tufty the Red Squirrel made a daily appearance. The cottage, is spotlessly clean and very well equipped. Dog friendly enclosed garden. Mile and a half from nearest road but TESCO only 5 or 6 miles away.
Once again a wonderful stay at Cedar cottage, our 4th time there, thats how great a location and cottage it is! We are quite elderly and so it would have helped in the bathroom if there'd been a grab rail re having a bath or shower, otherwise everything was just perfect. Lovely too having the complimenary biscuits, chocolates and wine! Highly recommend.
We found this a delightful cottage located in a very peaceful forestry setting. The house was immaculate and there were some delightful wee touches ( hedgehog family ornaments in the porch, wee pigs on the mantle above the fire) which made it very homely and greatly appreciated the owner's thoughtfulness in leaving a bottle of very nice wine, chocolates, biscuits and milk. Also to leave peanuts and seeds to fill the numerous bird feeders was great as we were able to sit out on the patio right beside the feeders and watch the numerous birds, two little field mice and 2 squirrels take their snacks. Being able to have a choice of walks directly from the cottage was a delight for Willow our dog. We were visited by friends who were pleasantly amazed by the cottage and location querying how we had found it - thank you too Wilderness Cottages
