This is a fairly basic one-bedroom apartment well located in Forres Town centre. It is clean and comfortable, with a spacious lounge area. There are only tea bags and coffee on arrival and only hand soap provided so make sure to bring provisions and toiletries. It is good value for what is provided.

The apartment was very clean. The kitchen was set up well with coffee maker, toaster, microwave, dishes, stove, oven, fridge, clothes washer, etc. There are two TVs, one in the living room and one in the bedroom. Just fyi, there is no dishwasher. There is also no a/c in the apartment and it gets very warm. I bought a couple fans and was comfortable but it is May and not overly hot like summer may be. The area around the apartment was very nice and the park was lovely. A nice beach is a short drive (approx. 4 miles) away. There are several restaurants. We ate at nearly all of them and never had a bad meal. My ONLY complaint is in regard to the bed and the sofa. The bed is hard and uncomfortable. The sofa seems to be broken down, probably from people sleeping on it rather than the bed. I slept on the sofa but did not sleep well as it was uncomfortable, but still more comfortable than the bed. I would have given this place a higher rating if not for the bed and sofa. A restful sleep is very important to me.

Het was een mooi ruim appartement, alleen alles erin was niet altijd in super staat. Alles werkt, maar daarmee is het wel wat gezegd;) de douche is vooral krap en onhandig. Pannen en keukengerei zijn ook niet in goede staat en ook niet alles is aanwezig.

Excellent base for a short break

We were pleasantly surprised at how well equip and spacious this accommodation was, amazing value for the money, first class throughout and very clean x Staff we met were very friendly x we chose it because we could bring the dog and we would use the accommodation in future. Very firm bed, low sofas and the floor in our apartment squeaked if you wanted to be picky. we were out most of the time so didn’t really bother us. Parking was off street about 50 metres away

Above and beyond

For me and my Frenchie this was a very comfortable stay. I was a nightmare guest in that I locked myself out while walking the dog late Sunday evening. Although I had Marco’s number on my work phone I only had my personal phone in hand with 8% battery. Fortunately it was still light being summer. I phone Hotels.com to request help and they called back quite quickly to give me Carlo’s number and say he would be about ten minutes. Not only did he graciously let me in he also checked how I was enjoying the apartment and was very interested in my helping me have a positive experience. Then upon departure I forgot my electric toothbrush. I texted Marco once back home and he quickly confirmed it had been found and he would get it to a friend of mine in the area. Marco really went above and beyond and asked for nothing from me to compensate him. I will definitely stay here again if returning to Forres. BTW it’s a very beautiful area with a great mix of nature and amenities.
