Sea Views, Sauna, Jacuzzi Bath, Decking, BBQ, Summer House, Perfect!

Traditional yet contemporary, cozy yet classy in one perfect property. The Millie has something new, quirky or amazing at every turn. A double jacuzzi bath with tile tv, huge wet-floor shower, a cozy sauna and. Roll top bath, a large walled garden, a lawn and an enormous split level decking with BBQ. Sea views, 2 minutes from beach. Burghead is steeped in history as it was formerly the Pictish capital of Europe. The Millie is built on the site of the ancient ramparts overlooking the harbor. Great for couples, great for families and great for groups of friends. Numerous golf courses nearby - Forres, Lossiemouth, Elgin, Spey Bay and 30mins from Castle Stuart. In the heart of the trail with the nearest working distillery only 2 miles away. Watch for the famous Moray Firth dolphins from 4 of the rooms.

40th Birthday Celebration!
A special five day holiday to Burghead reminiscing down memory lane. The cottage belonged to my Great Parents George & Mary Phillips back in the 1950’s. Beautifully restored home & garden with lots of room & a view that I loved waking up to every morning! A seaside cottage that we treasured and will definitely be booking again next summer, this time for longer so we can explore more of Morays beautiful coastline..

Family Holiday
Positives Comfortable property with good amount of space inside and out for a large group Most beds very good apart from downstairs double room Easy access to beach Good sized garden House clean but bins had not been put out by previous occupants and were full Children enjoyed novelty of watching tv in the bath Negatives Vrbo listing not accurate - there are beds for 8. Also does not mention that house on 3 levels with very steep stairs up and down - could be a problem for those with restricted mobility or young children Dogs are welcome but have to be kept in basement. This is away from living area but on same level as 2 of the bedrooms. Difficult to understand why. Only 1 shower for 8 people. No toilet on floor upstairs with 2 bedrooms Had to buy tin opener and replacement cafetière Rule book was off putting with its “penalties” including if you stole from the property- the owners may have had bad experience but it left a bad taste for others

Big birthday treat
second time we have stayed at The Millie, it's a fabulous place to stay. The accommodation is great, it's on 3 levels so plenty of room for everybody without get under feet. The view from the side of the house is stunning...we got great photos and videos of the dolphins and orcas...so blessed! We also ate at The Bothy for my birthday...it's only a few hundred yards away. The staff there are amazing. High recommended.

I spotted this property when we visited Burghead the last time, it looked fab from the outside ..wow it was amazing. There was 8 of us staying and were worried we would be under each others feet but plenty room. It's a great central location to visit the other little towns along the coast. Going to book again!

Great place for a seaside break
Surprisingly spacious rooms, well equipped and tastefully decorated. Great facilities including sauna and jacuzzi bath. Good WiFi speeds. No problem with parking several cars outside on the wide street. Several good options for eating and drinking in Burghead including the Bothy Bistro (same management) and the very excellent Harbour Inn, where you'll meet plently of friendly locals.

The house is even bigger and better than it looks online. There is a cheerful luxury vibe to the decor, and it’s very well-equipped, too. Brilliant jacuzzi bath, sauna and deck were highlights for us, and proximity to stunning Burghead bay beach. Adults, kids and teens all very happy!

Peaceful family getaway
Excellent family accommodation! Very stylish home from home in a wonderful location. Extremely efficient underfloor heating too. Set over 3 levels, with main living area (including sauna) on the middle floor. Extra large dining table in the kitchen makes for some fabulous family time together. Great outdoor space for when the weather is warm enough. The garden can be accessed from the lower level or the kitchen. Close to the beach and forest area of Burghead- which has a few local small shops - for some lovely walks. The only slight negative would be that, if you have very small children or frailer elderly relatives, the steep narrow stairs could be problematic.

Beautiful Burghead
The property is lovely, so stylish and easy to manage and keep tidy. It is however not easy for people with any limitation in mobility as the stairs to any of the bedrooms are difficult. my daughter is brain damaged and uses a wheelchair some of the time, she can manage some steps and stairs but the one's in the house defeated her, she had to descend on her bottom and went outside and round to the front door in the morning!! it didn't detract much though from a wonderful reunion with our beloved Moray coast and a sighting of the Northern Lights was a huge bonus, you could add that to your advertisement. May many thanks.

Holiday at the Millie Burghead
We had a fantastic family holiday in Burghead. The Millie was beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean. The Co-op was a 5 minute walk away and very useful to have. We were blessed with bright and sunny weather and spent a lot of time walking our two little dogs on Burghead beach. We also visited Roseisle Sandy beach on more than one occasion where our youngest sun made sandcastles and our eldest paddle boarded (we had brought our own). We ate at the Bootleggers Bothy in Hopeman three evenings running as the food was so good (restaurant standard) and we all loved it there. We didn’t get to visit the Bothy Bistro in Burghead but heard this was equally as good. We also loved the Captains Table in Findhorn. Everyone we met was very friendly and helpful and nowhere was too busy. Having been here, I don’t think we’ll go back to Cornwall!

Love Moray
House was beautifully renovated and very comfortable. Ideal location for beach forest and local amenities. However, description on website indicated dogs welcome but on arrival discovered they were to be confined to a utility room on the ground level. Had we known that probably wouldn’t have booked as it was very inconvenient. Also layout of property should have been better described to indicate that access between floors was via very narrow steep staircases which would not have worked if any of the party had even minimal mobility issues as upper bedrooms only had access to bathroom on middle level. Think a floor plan and warning about stairs should have been included. Rule book also indicated fines for transgressions such as non emptying of dishwasher (£25) and reference to thefts Which seemed excessive. That said ,outside space and location fabulous and we had a great week in the area

Perfect seaside home from home!
The Millie is a really comfortable and generous sized property with everything provided that you would need for a great seaside holiday! We stayed with our toddler and my parents and as the bedrooms are split over two floors we had lots of space and privacy but a lovely big kitchen and living space to hang out together. Although we didn't need them a high chair and cot were provided. The stairs in the property are quite steep but stair gates were also provided which meant it was perfectly safe for our wee one to run around. The interiors are finished to a very high standard and the sauna and jacquzzi were a fun addition to a holiday home. The top floor, in particular, is just gorgeous and has amazing views of the sea. A nice surprise (and a rarity in holiday accommodation) was that the beds are real quality! We all slept so well including our toddler and my elderly dad (who has a bad back and is ridiculously fussy about mattresses!) As well as the harbour and stunning beach Burghead has a cute community garden and play park which is great for wee ones and the property is right next to the Burghead Visitor Centre and fort where we watched the sunset every night and saw dolphins many times. All in all, a really wonderful location for exploring the Moray coast!

Great location and immaculate property
The Millie was in a great spot to explore the wider area and being just a few minutes walk from the beach and coast was great. We enjoyed seeing the dolphins which was a real treat. The house had all the amenities you would expect and the quality of the kitchen items were better than you would expect from a holiday rental. We took our 2 dogs but only were only allowed to keep them in the utility room on the ground floor. We are pet owners who like to have our dogs with us. This should have been made clearer before our arrival. I appreciate this is common in holiday lets, but we may not booked this property if we had known. To be honest after the long walks along the beach the dogs were ready for a good sleep anyway. The check in was easy once the key box was location at the back door. We were very lucky with the weather enjoying 21c days so we made use of the garden furniture. We'd happily recommend the Millie.
