Six spacious and fully equipped  stone built cottages, located in a converted stone built steading in an area of outstanding natural beauty, just a few miles outside Elgin.   

We offer a wide range of cottages suitable for everything from a romantic Christmas getaway  through to a great family  holiday reunion, Carden Holiday Cottages are wonderfully positioned for exploring all that this beautiful area of Scotland has to offer.

Surrounded by magnificent beaches, rambling forest walks and cycle trails, ancient castles and historic sites in the heart of Moray, there are almost limitless leisure opportunities that include stalking and  hunting,  shooting, fishing, walking, cycling and golf.

In this landscape of rushing rivers, ancient lochs and miles of empty golden beaches,  you will have the chance to catch sight of eagles and hunting birds flying overhead whilst the seas around us offer glimpses of  playful seals, leaping dolphins and even feeding whales.

Set in the courtyard of our beautiful steading, but self contained and very private, Carden Cottages are  cosy and very comfortable whether you are joining us for a mini break, that special family holiday or perhaps for a little longer whilst you find your new home in the Moray area.

We offer an ideal location from which to discover Moray-Speyside and the nearby attractions of Elgin, Forres, The Whisky Trail, and the internationally renowned Findhorn Foundation as well as miles of golden beaches and thousands of acres of beautiful woodlands lined with forest trails, streams and lochs.

Elgin has all the facilities to meet your immediate needs with dozens of shops and stores, lots of restaurants and specialist food outlets, museums, cinema, galleries, tea rooms and coffee shops.

Add to this great friendly pubs, a woollen mill or two and an ancient  Abbey and you can see that in Elgin alone, you are never short of something to do.
