This is a great apartment to use as home base. Clean, spacious and in a fantastic location. Highly recommended. The only problem was the bed and lounge were both soft and probably need replacing.

The flat was of a good size and the kitchen well equipped. The block of flats is in a quiet side street of the High Street. The Co-op supermarket is just a minute away, and so is Savers. The only problem was the check-in. The access code was not sent beforehand. It needed texts, emails and calls and took an hour to finally enter the place.

The apartment was suitable for our three nights. We finally ate a home cooked meal and relaxed for a change. The area around the apartment doesn’t look inviting with commercial sheds and what appeared to be an abandoned camper van but once inside it feels very homely. The bathroom could do with repairs as the floor tiles are loose. Most likely from water leaking from the bath tub. Overall, we were happy with our stay.

The flat was close to everything in the town. The park was just two mins walk away and the high street is literally on its doorstep. The flat was very clean and had plenty of light.

A Little Gem

Modern small flat right in the centre of Forres near shops, restaurants and public transport. Free parking. Well equipped with modern facilities. Great location for visiting Inverness to Aberdeen. The owner is on hand for help and really friendly. Will definitely recommend.

We were visiting family and this was an excellent base for us in the centre of town. The apartment was very comfortable and allowed us the freedom to plan our time in Forres. We were met by the owner Carlo despite arriving late and he ensured we were happy with the rental before leaving. Thank you Carlo. We will probably use the apartment again.

Forres weekend

Carlo was an excellent host and was there to meet us when we arrived. The apartment was good and very close to everything, although nothing is far away in Forres. The area is spectacular, and it is easy to explore the local region.
