Hilary and Roger Simmons - with many years experience in hospitality industry

The Tower is graded as 4 stars by Visit Scotland. It has a unique character with interesting architecture. It has two bedrooms and two shower rooms. It sleeps up to 5 + baby and is perfect for families and couples. There is so much to see and do, with many good restaurants serving the country's finest food. It is perfectly located close to Findhorn and its beautiful beaches, with Elgin and Nairn just 15 mins drive away and Inverness airport 40 mins. NB: The 2nd bedroom with its own ensuite can only be accessed via stairs from the master bedroom.

After seven years of living in France, we relocated to this part of the world. We were drawn to this area, not only for the wonderful open spaces, and beautiful scenery but also for the Moray Firth’s warm microclimate. Although retired, we are both still very active and enjoy walking the trails through the local forests and beaches with our dog, Barney. We have many years of experience in the hospitality industry; we ran a very successful B&B and wedding business in Kent. Prior to that we ran a design agency. We very much look forward to welcoming our guests.

The Tower is part of a converted traditional farm Steading. We live next door and can be on hand should you have any questions about your stay. For your convenience there is a Spar grocery shop in Kinloss (2 mins drive), a large Tesco supermarket, and pubs and restaurants in Forres (10 mins drive). Findhorn village with its beautiful bay and beach with very good restaurants and pubs is 10 mins drive away. Just 5 mins down the road by car is Roseisle beach. This is very safe for bathing with a play area for children and a very long stretch of sandy beach all the way to Burghead. It is fringed by forests so there are many cool areas to sit and relax on hotter days. There is also a hot and cold eatery there. There are also lovely walks, and historic places to visit nearby. A car is a necessity to make the most out of your stay here in Scotland. We have up to two designated car parking spaces for our guests at our property.
