• "A great location, easy instructions, well equipped."

  Highly recommend. Lovely view and enjoyed walking along the Findhorn coast. Good supper at the Crown & Anchor. (Two small suggestions - better pillows and en suite shower drain to be cleaned out.)

  Many thanks for your feedback and apologies for my slow response. We will look at changing the pillows and I am up there next week so will clear out the shower drain. It is so helpful that you have let us know as these things are difficult to spot during checks. Many thanks Property Owner

• "The location is ideal whether you want a beach holiday or a base for other sightseeing as only 5 miles from A96."

  The Apartment is spacious, comfortable and the view is amazing watching the different ships sail by. There is no need for the TV with a view like this.

  Thank you for your feedback Brian. We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. If there is anything you would like to discuss on either the cleanliness or facilities please reach out to me directly. We are always looking to improve. Property Owner

• "Lovely apartment."

  .very spacious with stunning view. We would definitely use again. Just a couple of suggestions which we shared with the owner in the guest book. Unable to use 2nd bedroom wardrobe adequately because of various items being stored there. Also en-suite shower impossible to regulate to a comfortable temperature. Another couple of small ideas entered in the guest book.

  Hi Kay. Many thanks for your feedback it is so valuable to us. With regards to the wardrobe there is an electrical clothing dryer stored in the wardrobe. We purchased this in response to feedback received from guests who wanted to be able to dry clothes. Unfortunately it has to be stored somewhere, but I take your point and will think about other places that it could be kept. Regarding the shower in the en-suite I will check the temperature and really appreciate your feedback. It is tricky as the cold water pressure to the apartment seems to change significantly. This can sometimes cause a problem with the showers. Thanks again and I hope to welcome you back very soon. Property Owner

  Hi Tracy. Many thanks for your feedback and I am pleased that you enjoyed your stay. Our aim is for everyone to enjoy Aurora View and I appreciate you sharing the issues that you had. It would be great to check which bed you had the issue with as the one in the master bedroom has been recently replaced. It would also be great to know which kitchen cupboard was broken as I do check everything periodically but have obviously missed it! Look forward to welcoming you back very soon. Property Owner

• "Great flat as you described, beautiful place in a beautiful setting however enable us to have an extremely relaxing enjoyable stay, however I do have two negatives."

  1-During our stay we experienced cold high winds, the flat is an open living area with kitchen, dining and living area in the same space. The cold high winds caused a very strong draft to come through the extractor fan resulting in a very cold living space, boosting the heating was not sufficient enough to counteract the draft. 2-My wife and I work hard and save our money to enable us to take a holiday and get away from the stresses, strains and chores of everyday life. I received an email from you the day before our holiday was over directing that we remove all bedding, sheets, pillow cases duvet covers etc and place them in the bath. I did complete the tasks you asked (after getting grief from my wife) but I am not happy about this. Surely you employ a cleaner who comes in after guests leave to ensure the flat is clean and ready for the next guests, is that not why check out is at 10 and check in at 5? I do take a holiday expecting to do the job of a cleaner or anyone else.

  Many thanks for taking the time to provide feedback it is appreciated. I was unaware of the issue with the extractor fan so will look at how to solve this. Regarding the beds and pillow cases again I thank you for raising this. It was bought in as best practice during the pandemic and we have never changed it back. You are the 1st person who has raised it but again I really appreciate the feedback and will discuss it with the cleaner. We are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner

  Deer in the gardens and Dolphins and seals nearby. A chance to see the Northern lights if you are lucky. Could do with a four slice toaster as a two slice is not practical

  Many thanks for your feedback Grenville I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay. It is an interesting point regarding the toaster which I will take on board when we look to replace it. We look forward to welcoming you back very soon. Property Owner

  Aurora View,is a lovely place too stay,a real home from home with amazing views looking out to sea,the only thing that we didn’t like was not being able to control the heating ourselves,never stayed in a Sykes’s where you couldn’t control the heating yourself,but it didn’t put us off,had a fabulous time,visited so many places,Loch Ness was our favourite,& the Glen Moray distillery,& Inverness,so much more to see couldn’t fit everything in,the week just went way too quick,& we shall definitely be back next year :-)

  Hi Tracey. Many thanks for your amazing feedback it is appreciated. Regarding the heating it is on a programme and should keep the property at 19 degrees all of the time. However it isn’t locked off so you are able to control the heating from the property in order to maintain a comfortable temperature. Additionally the electric fire is the lounge is completely independent of the heating system. I am so glad that it didn’t spoil your stay and when you are up again next year please do not hesitate to shout if you have any questions at all. Property Owner

• "Beautiful accommodation with stunning panoramic views across the Moray Firth."

  Easy access to beach and a good base for travelling around North East Scotland. Lovely and warm and cosy with good facilities. We couldn't locate the Bose Speaker mentioned in list of amenities and so contacted owner to let them know. Disappointingly we were disturbed by the residents above our accommodation who used a sound system that boomed a bass noise through the ceiling and we were unable to relax each evening. It was reported to the owner but sadly the noise continued. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others.

  Many thanks for your feedback Janet and please accept our apologies for the noise from another apartment in the block. As you are aware I immediately contacted the neighboring apartment owners and I know that they spoke to the residents. This is not an issue that we have had before and I promise that I will get to the bottom of it as I am unsure what has happened here. I am pleased that you enjoyed both Findhorn and the apartment and hope that you will return at some point in the future. Property Owner

• "Arora view is a second floor apartment in a block with fantastic views out to sea."

  The little village is friendly boasting a shop and adjacent bakery which opens at 10 am each day.Findhorn is very well situated with Forres nearby where a climb up the Nelson monument is strongly advised. There is a Tesco and Lidl on the outskirts of Forres and an interesting eco village with community living on the way out of Findhorn. I had a conversation with the owner who was pleasant and helpful. The apparment has great views out of large picture windows and is well equiped.There is a lot of shipping movement in the sea which can be seen with ease. There are seals on the beach and deer came into the ground on at least 3 days of our stay. Would we return most definately. A graet stay in welcoming surroundings.

• "Very clean, spacious and well equipped."

  Just an electrical problem which was dealt with asap and windows needed cleaning. We thoroughly enjoyed the apartment, the view and the location….would recommend.

  We really appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback. Apologies for the electrical problem and I am pleased that we managed to get it resolved quickly and without impacting your stay. As you can imagine the windows are an ongoing challenge given the fact that the apartment faces directly out onto the sea. However I have increased the cleaning from once every 6 weeks to once a month as a result of your comments as you are absolutely right that the view is stunning! We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Property Owner

• "We were delighted with our stay at Aurora View."

  It's a beautifully furnished, spacious, extremely well equipped and ideally placed apartment. The views are incredible, we never tired of gazing out at the beach/sea view. You can dolphin watch with binoculars from the full length front room window! It's the ideal base for travelling to the many nearby visitor attractions and destinations and you can walk for miles along the beautiful Findhorn beach which only takes a few minutes to reach on foot. There are places to eat/drink a little walk away where you can find the most delicious, local fish and chips. The standard of the facilities in the apartment is excellent and there are lots of little, thoughtful touches that make your stay that little bit more special, they really have thought of everything. We would highly recommend a stay here and are definitely planning a return trip.

  Many thanks for taking the time to provide us with feedback it is appreciated. Our hope is that visitors grow to love Findhorn as much as we do. I am delighted that you enjoyed both the apartment & Findhorn. We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future. Property Owner

• "A lovely flat with great views in a peaceful setting."

  The flat is well equiped and had everything we needed for self catering, maybe a small brush & dustpan under the sink for cleaning up purposes, would be useful. Not sure if there is a window cleaner as two of the windows, including the main one in the lounge need a good clean. Would recommend and will definately be back.

  Hi Angela, Many thanks for your feedback we really appreciate you taking the time to let us know how we can be better. Please accept our apologies regarding the windows. As you might imagine being so close to the sea the naughty seagulls do sometimes create problems with the windows. We will increase the regularly of the window cleaning and try to improve. Regarding the dustpan & brush we really appreciate the suggestion and there will be one there when you return! Thanks again. Property Owner

• "Aurora View is a pleasant, comfortable, well-equipped flat, made spectacular by the circular living-dining area with 5 windows looking out over the Moray Firth."

  The central window is floor-to-ceiling and always causes a gasp of delight on entering the room. We were blessed with fantastic sunny weather for all of our three-day visit, but I’m sure stormy weather would be equally spectacular. The flat was warm, welcoming and everything was easy to find and use. Access was straightforward and trouble-free, as were all facilities and instructions. A walk of a few minutes took us to the amazing, huge beach, to the harbour or village, and to the cafes, pubs and shop. We had good meals of local fresh fish in both pubs, but the fresh seafood in the Crown and Anchor was really special, (particularly the Shetland scallops). The combination of easy comfort and stunning views made this a really lovely holiday.
