The breakfast was nice too but it would have been good if each item had labels on it to make identifying gluten free options easier so we didn't have to find someone to ask. The rooms also have no air con so if the weather had been any warmer, it may have been a bit uncomfortable. They do provide a fan though.

"For an unknown reason receiving the entry details was difficult but eventually successful. The room was clean and the facilities were very good. The decor won’t please everyone but the invisible staff refreshed towels and drinks efficiently. Aware that no food service was available the presence of the fridge was helpful to store our own items. Didn’t try the recommended place for breakfast. It was a fair price to reach Findhorn and Forres for the festival. When the noise issue was mysteriously fixed it was a comfortable stay."
