A former Garden Study, Drumfin Cottage is fully detached and has recently been refurbished to the highest standards. The cottage is located within the grounds of the main house ‘Drumfin’ and enjoys a south facing aspect with uninterrupted views across Elgin and beyond. You will have complete privacy during your stay at Drumfin Cottage, with access to 1.5 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens to the front and rear of the property. Located in the outskirts of Elgin in a secluded spot, immediately next to mature woodland, you are only a 20 minute walk into town where there are many options for dining and socialising. With a large mature woodland on our doorstep, we encourage you to take advantage of the many woodland walks, where all manner of wildlife can be spotted. We’re particularly fond of the native red squirrels that often come to visit us in the garden.
About me: I spent the last half of my career in Business Development, with a strong focus on building strong customer relationships. I've taken this ethos and applied it to hosting at Drumfin Cottage. When you book Drumfin Cottage, you're assured of a relaxed and comfortable environment in high quality accommodation. My guest reviews will attest to this. Having been on motorcycles for 50+ years, I'm passionate about all things motorcycle related. Needless to say, Drumfin Cottage is also biker friendly, with garaged storage and gear drying equipment. Having gained the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) certification for motorcycles, I'm looking forward to offering guided motorcycle tours from 2026 onwards. Further details will be posted on our Drumfin Cottage website in due course.
