The Laurels

The Laurels An appealing family home that is great for outdoor enthusiasts that seek a peaceful location. Also on the first floor is a shower room with a shower and WC.

Just a short drive from Forres with numerous historical attractions close by. Situated by the 24-mile-long disused railway line that is a popular trail with hikers and cyclists, the Dava Way connects the towns of Forres and Grantown on Spey through various moorland, farmland and forestry along the way. Brodie Castle and gardens is a great day out for both adults and children alike, and for whisky

enthusiasts, the nearest distilleries to visit are Dallas Dhu and Benromach, where you can sample some of their finest malts. The nearby seaside town of Findhorn is extremely popular in the summer months, with many visitors taking to the beach and enjoying various watersports and boat trips in the bay. As you enter the property there is a staircase leading to the first floor where to the left you will find a spacious lounge which contains a multifuel stove and a Smart TV, the perfect spot to curl up and watch a film after a day exploring the local area. Moving through the house there is a dining room with a feature fireplace and a comfortable sofa where you can look forward to socialising and enjoying some food and drink with your loved ones. The kitchen is located at the back of the house and contains an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. There is also a small breakfast table that seats four people where you can enjoy your morning coffee and perhaps a bite to eat before you head out for the day. As you head upstairs on the second floor is where all of the bedrooms are located. Each of the three double rooms are of ample size and have been tastefully decorated with a statement wall colour. To complete the property there is a bathroom with a bath with a handheld shower and WC. Outside, there is a beautiful garden which contains lots of mature trees and plants. It extends to approximately two acres and has a patio area where you can enjoy a BBQ and garden furniture that is centred around a fire pit, perfect for those chillier evenings. There is private parking for three cars. We are also dog friendly!

🐶 Meet Teddy – Our Gorgeous Family Dog 🐾

If you’ve stayed with us before, you may already know this handsome little face… and if you haven’t, let us introduce you to Teddy, our much-loved family dog 💛

At The Laurels, we’re proudly dog-friendly, because holidays are better when the whole family comes along – paws included. Teddy is proof that dogs are part of the heart of our home, and we love welcoming well-behaved furry guests to enjoy the space, walks, and cosy stays just as much as their humans 🐕✨

Whether it’s countryside strolls, relaxing evenings, or simply switching off together, The Laurels is the perfect getaway for you and your four-legged companion.

📅 Now taking bookings for 2026 – dates are already filling, so if a dog-friendly escape is on your wish list, we’d love to welcome you.

🐾 Teddy can’t wait to make some new holiday friends!

✨ Supporting Local Talent — and Family! ✨

Many of you who have stayed with us at The Laurels will know our sister Amy — the heart of the house! ❤️

She’s the friendly face who welcomes you, helps you feel at home, and makes your stay in the Highlands truly special. We’re so lucky to have her as the main driving force of The Laurels.

What some of you might not know is that Amy has just started a gorgeous small business on the side called Thistle Dae Highland Wood and Craft work, creating handmade, bespoke woodwork pieces.

Every item is crafted with care, creativity, and that same warmth she brings to The Laurels.

If you’ve ever wanted something beautiful to remind you of your stay with us — or if you just love supporting talented local makers — please take a moment to check out her work. 🪵💜

✨ Follow Thistle Dae
✨ Support a wonderful small Highland business
✨ Bring a piece of your stay at The Laurels home with you

Amy pours her heart into everything she does, and I couldn’t be prouder to share her amazing creations with you all.

Love

The silent sisters E & H x

✨ The first snow has fallen at The Laurels… and it’s pure magic! ✨

Winter has well and truly arrived, and the house looks like something straight out of a storybook – sparkling fields, glowing windows, the fire on, and a little RedLeg to finish the night off. ❄️🔥🍋

We’re fully booked until 17th January (thank you so much! 🤍), but we’re excited to share that our 2026 diary is now officially open.

If you want a cosy winter escape, a peaceful countryside break, or just a chance to switch off in this dream of a setting… now’s the time to get your dates in.
