PREVIOUS GUEST REVIEWs: (from other letting platforms)
"A true 5 star place to stay. Peaceful, interesting, beautiful, spacious, comfortable. They have gone above and beyond to equip this home well (including bikes you can borrow, a wonderfully equipped kitchen, pizza oven). Stones throw from the beach but set back enough to feel very peaceful when inside. Great eco credentials too, with a heat pump installed, and EV charger and clear system for recycling. Fab!" - 5 star review, Samantha May 2024

"Really brilliant place to stay. Lots of extras that make the stay wonderful like board games, TV, log fire, bikes and various break out areas. Findhorn is a beautiful place with great local shops and pubs all very close to the house. Highly recommend to any groups including families. Alban was a very good host as well." - 5 star review, Jamie Rhuairidh April 2024

"Another excellent stay at Dumella, we all thoroughly enjoyed our weekend! The accommodation is very clean, well equipped and Alban was very helpful and responded very quickly prior to our stay! We didnt need to be in touch with him while we were there at the Beach retreat - all was there and we were all super happy! The last time staying we didnt use the large lounge, however this weekend, we set up the projector and screen to watch the rugby! Just perfect xx" - 5 star review, Pamela February 2024

"We stayed for a family get together for a weekend and were absolutely delighted with everything about the property. The location was fantastic for outdoor activities with Findhorn Bay and beach a short walk away. The facilities were excellent and the well stocked larder ensured that everything that we forgot to take for cooking in the well laid out kitchen was there if required. There are two pubs that serve food a five minute walk away and a small shop that sells essentials even closer. The enclosed rear garden is also a bonus and would be fantastic in the summer evenings. With the Sky TV package and good WiFi, we had everything that we needed for a memorable family get together." - 5 star review, Ian March 2024

"We had a wonderful stay with our entire family and their dogs.
The property is spacious and the numerous aspects such as large dinner-kitchen and separate living room where superb and provided enough space for us all.
The beautiful bathroom with separate shower and the wet room are excellent and the piping hot water great! Everything you need is there including games for all of the family. We made use of the projector in the large living room with our firestick making the rugby and movie night fab. An unbelievable TV package available in the other lounge too. We thoroughly recommend Alban's property. I doubt you would be disappointed." 5 star review, Arthur Feb 2024.

OTHER THINGS TO MENTION:
We have an outdoor shower for when you/ your dogs come back from the beach.
We have some adjustable dumbells and a workout bench, if you like to workout.

The property is excellent with enough room for us all to have our own space. We know the area well and this house is a stone’s throw from the bay and an easy walk to the Moray Firth. There are many places to visit each with their own character and history. There is something for everyone, young and old.

This is a lovely house. We really spent all of our time in the kitchen diner lounge area backing onto the garden...The beds aren't really suitable for 10 adults. Two of the doubles are very small and the twin beds are child's beds. The drying room is fabulous and garden lovely...Findhorn is a delight...

Beautiful house in a lovely location

Comfortable house for our family plus 3 small dogs. Everything that you could need and more! They even have an outdoor shower for the dogs to clean off the sand when they came back from the beach. Secure back garden was also appreciated. 5 minutes stroll to the local shop and deli. Perfect!!
