Monessie is a large comfortable family house in Findhorn, with spectacular views of the bay and Culbin forest.

It has been in our family for more than fifty years. We would stay here all year round if we could. Sadly, we can’t, so we rent it out for holiday or longer-term lets.

If you know Findhorn, the house is near the middle of the village, directly overlooking the bay. It is set back from the road, and is surrounded by a large garden. If you don’t know Findhorn… come and see what you’ve been missing.

Monessie faces south-west. The dining and sitting rooms, and two front upstairs bedrooms, enjoy an uninterrupted view of the bay. On the ground floor, there is a further large room, fitted as a bedroom, and a large breakfast room and kitchen to the rear. There are a single and two double bedrooms on the first floor. There is a WC downstairs as well as a bathroom on the first floor. A garage, outbuildings, and large wall-enclosed lawn is to the rear of the house.

The house sleeps eight people in comfort, although there are beds for more if needed.

Monessie is available for short lets all year round, including long weekends between October and June. We will also consider long term lets between October and April. Prices range from £350 to £500 a week.
