Willowbarn Rafford Countryside Cottage

Willowbarn welcomes you to stay in this 2-bedroom, 2-bath holiday cottage with private garden. Willowbarn is a private 1st-floor building located in the heart of Moray countryside, surrounded by native forest and just minutes from the white sands of Findhorn Bay. We provide guests with linens, local eco-friendly toiletries and local food hamper, plus local knowledge. Please note that regarding pets, we allow dogs only, and this must be one, small, hypoallergenic dog per booking. If you are bringing your dog, please only book with us if you have 1 dog and it meets this description. Willowbarn is a separate building situated on the spacious grounds of our home. Willowbarn is an upstairs property above our garages (this can be seen in the photos). From Willowbarn, you can walk straight into the countryside, onto the Dava Way and Malt Whisky Trail, or take a cycle or short drive to countless local beaches and artisan eateries. The local area benefits from the warmth of the Gulf Stream. Inside, Willowbarn has a cosy yet airy feel. The loft-style rooms are perfect for unwinding and the open-plan living area has ample large windows giving beautiful natural light and views of the surrounding countryside. There are plenty of different seating areas allowing your group to relax together or separately. Both bathrooms have rain showers and bathtubs with countryside views. Willowbarn's private garden has outdoor dining furniture and solar lighting for you to enjoy the great outdoors and alfresco dining at all times of day. If you have a canine companion with you they will love the grassy garden for sniffing and playing. Willowbarn is situated up one flight of private outdoor stairs on the first floor. We will leave you to enjoy as much privacy as you like during your stay; if, however, you wish to ask any questions about Moray, the Highlands, and the immediate local area, we will be delighted to answer these. Willowbarn is situated in Rafford, a quaint Highlands village right on the Malt Whisky Trail and Dava Way foot and cycle path. Rafford enjoys an abundance of local, rare wildlife due to its peaceful and natural location. Rafford is ideally situated, being only a short drive from both the Cairngorm mountains and breathtaking local beaches where you can enjoy rare marine life including seals and dolphins. From Willowbarn, you can walk to countless countryside trails. You can cycle or drive to the local towns and beaches for artisan eateries, food shops and watersports.
