Description from owner

Description

The kestrel has a hot tub with a canopy overhead set within the peaceful garden.

Do you fancy a peaceful holiday in the countryside to relax and unwind? Then the kestrel cabin is the place to be as it nestles on the edge of a 5 acre woodland and yet it is only 4 miles from the county town of Elgin.

Many species of wildlife can be observed from this peaceful setting. The cabin has panoramic views facing south from the french windows. A lochan with picnic area is visable with easy access through a gate to the field.

For dog lovers, the tranquility of the log cabin, surrounded by breathtaking scenery,makes walking your pet around Springburn an absolute joy.

This cabin was awarded an overall excellent 4 stars from Visitscotland in February 2019. We are delighted to have been given an exceptional 5 stars in the management efficiency section.

A secure fence surrounds this cabin which makes it safe for children and dogs to play unattended. Electricity is extra £1/£2 coin meter
