Rooms

The Dairy at Daviot comprises of six luxury cottages meticulously infusing the historic fabric of the old steading into the cottages, the unique accommodation features original archways, beautiful pink sandstone and reclaimed slate. All of the cottages feature two en-suite bedrooms with super king or twin bed configuration possible. Comfortably accommodating up to four adults, and with room for two young children.

Simmental, Guernsey and Jersey offer spacious open plan living with a kitchen/dining area that is great for socialising. Or if you’d prefer a traditional layout, with space for the kids to crash and watch TV while you cook and chat separately, the Ayrshire, Friesian and Holstein have a separate living room and kitchen/dining room.

Eat

All cottages are self catering with very well equipped kitchens including hobs, ovens, microwaves and fridge freezers. There are light and roomy dining areas in all the properties, or if the sun is shining you can eat alfresco. There is garden furniture in the charming cobbled courtyard free for your use.

If you fancy a night off the cooking head out and walk three miles to the local pub, Culloden Moor Inn. It offers good pub food in a child friendly environment.

About the owners

Dereck & Roz

We have taken immense satisfaction in seeing the buildings being restored to their former beauty. After a great deal of hard work we were very excited to welcome the first guests to The Dairy at Daviot at the beginning of July 2008. Since then we have continued to provide a great family holiday destination, in the beautiful surroundings of Daviot Estate. We take great pleasure in sharing this beautiful, peaceful and idyllic part of the world.
