Self Catering Holiday Cottages Elgin
Blackhills Estate is a 4000 acre country estate consisting of farms, woodlands and moorland. The cottages are situated in the grounds of Blackhills House at the centre of the Estate and are reached by a half mile of private (tarmac) drive.
The cottages form a secluded group, well away from other habitations but close to each other. They have direct access to Blackhills' Garden which is a magnificent 70 acre woodland garden. The four 3 star cottages are particularly suitable for people who enjoy secluded walks. There is an all weather tennis court in the grounds. Morayshire is famous for its benign (in Scottish terms!) climate. We are well supplied with golf courses. The Moray Firth has unspoilt sandy beaches. Speyside is famous for its distilleries. Riding is also available at Cranloch Riding Centre close by.
The MAINS HOUSE is a traditional two storey farmhouse. Situated close to two other holiday cottages (The White Cottage and The Bungalow) in a group of buildings which includes the Estate workshops. It is close to the tennis court and has direct access to the Woodland Garden.
