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.

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.

Our 5th visit to this gem of a cottage. The cottage was immaculate on arrival as usual , thank you for the lovely welcome pack. The cottage is perfect, sitting at the end of a forest track, so quiet and peaceful yet 20 minutes drive to the stunning town of Forres with its amazing floral displays. The bird table was very busy and sitting at the patio table watching the red squirrels so close is amazing. Only saw the pine marten a couple of times sadly. You are spoilt for choice with all the stunning beaches within a short drive. Too many to mention ! Museums, castles, old ruins are in abundance, always somewhere new to visit. Plus plenty of walks surrounding the cottage and a bit farther afield too. Thanks to the lovely ladies at Wilderness who are always so helpful . We'll be back.
We had another fantastic holiday with Wilderness Cottages, and Cedar Cottage was perfect in every way. The cottage is immaculate and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. After a drive along the forest tracks, you soon come across this lovely cottage with its large well kept garden, which was a haven for lots of wildlife. We had a brilliant week and hope to return.
Had a great week at Cedar Cottage, the Cottage was a Home from Home, we will definitely sat again.
Cedar Cottage is the most perfect cottage in an idyllic location. It seems remote but isn't that for from Forres Tesco. Red Squirrels in the garden are a delight.
The cottage is immaculate and the welcome pack was lovely.
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 ????
