Originally built for the Estate's housekeeper and gardener, Kirktoun is now perfect for couples or families. It is an ideal haven to escape to with open country views. Within walking distance of Duffus with its shop and play park, you can be as relaxed or active as you feel. Kirktoun is a surprisingly spacious cottage. The bright sitting room has a lovely restored open fire (with complementary logs from the Estate), perfect for cosy evenings in. It has a large window with a beautiful open westerly outlook. There is a separate dining room - ideal for long, leisurely dinners with friends or family. The well appointed bathroom is downstairs and has a shower above the bath. The two cosy bedrooms can be found upstairs. One is a king sized double with views into the Estate woodland and the good sized twin bedroom has a view across open fields. Kirktoun has a good sized, private garden; part of which is enclosed - useful for containing children or the dog! The patio area is great for summer BBQs or sipping wine on those long, light filled summer evenings we are blessed to get up here in Moray. There is also a fire bowl for our guests to use to keep them warm whilst perhaps watching the stars or having a wee nightcap. Duffus Estate has a network of paths, which guests are welcome to explore. Whilst you are out you might be lucky enough to spot some shy roe deer, a cheeky red squirrel or even some of our abundant birdlife. Our woods are also home to a host of wild flowers. Spring time is especially impressive due to the grand displays of snowdrops followed by daffodils, primroses and bluebells. Close by are the glorious beaches of the Moray Firth with its resident dolphin population, golf courses galore, cliff top and forest walks, the Speyside whisky trail and many historic castles such as Brodie Castle and Cawdor Castle - this oft overlooked area of Scotland really has plenty for everyone. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Electric car charging station on site - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 25 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Tennis ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - 100% renewable energy - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bulk dispensers for toiletries - Composting - Comprehensive food waste policy - Comprehensive recycling policy - Double-glazed windows - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Eco-friendly toiletries - Electric car charging station - Garden - Local culture and ecosystem education - Locally-owned and organised tours and activities ## Similar properties ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112240000/112232100/112232014/7ba77a68.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Beach front apartment close to shops and restaurants Lossiemouth - Kitchen - Washing machine - Free Wi-Fi - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-05&endDate=2026-02-06&selected=112232014&PinnedHotelID=112232014&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114780000/114775600/114775544/2b87b0a9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Shore Street by Interhome Lossiemouth - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-05&endDate=2026-02-06&selected=114775544&PinnedHotelID=114775544&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119330000/119325200/119325101/e3a882bd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Dune Haven Luxury Beachside Lodge Lossiemouth - Pool - Kitchen - Washing machine - Dryer [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-05&endDate=2026-02-06&selected=119325101&PinnedHotelID=119325101&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113760000/113757200/113757182/136491c7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Willow Bale Cabin - UK49074 Dallas - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi - Barbecue grill £231 includes taxes & fees 23 Jan - 24 Jan [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-01-23&endDate=2026-01-24&selected=113757182&PinnedHotelID=113757182&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM Minimum check-in age - 21 ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions Information provided by the property may be translated using automated translation tools ### Check-out instructions The host requires you to complete the following before checking out: Load and start the dishwasher Strip any used beds, gather used towels and store extra beds Remove personal items, remove leftover food and drinks and take out the rubbish Turn off the lights, lock the doors and return the keys Please wash up any dishes and put them back in place.

The house was immaculately designed, comfortable, and a great location to explore the Elgin region. Our host was amazing, left a great care package with local goods and fresh eggs. They also provided us with so much information about the estate and area. Our only regret is not staying there for longer! We truly hope to be able to return and stay at one of the Duffus properties in the future! ##### Stephanie R.

We always had clear instructions and communication. The house was clean, well stocked, and well maintained. The grounds were fun to explore. The area is remote, but within a short drive to everything you’ll need/want. Overall, a great spot! Highly recommend! ##### Christina J. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fiona R. 17 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The cottage exceeded expectations. Clean and comfortable with everything you need for a home away from home. Quality bedlinen added that extra touch and the basket of goodies provided was very thoughtful. The large, enclosed, quiet back garden was perfect for my two small dogs, and had direct access to the enchanting woodland paths through the estate. An ideal place for anyone with reactive dogs as there is nothing to disturb them. The arrival and local information provided was perfect. Highly recommended. ##### Fiona R.
