Very nice stay, parking was good, right outside my chalet. The area was great, castles and beaches.
Pros:

Had a lovely breakfast, and the location was very close to Forres and a short drive to Findhorn bay

Cons:

I had to check out early on Sunday to continue my journey, breakfast would have been nice but it was all locked up. Just had to put key through the letterbox. Would have been nice to complement the staff as they were good people.

Great stay at the carisbrooke.
Pros:

Very friendly welcome. Shown directly to room which was clean and reasonably well appointed. Good value for money.

Cons:

The only complaint is the lack of breakfast on a Sunday. We were advised in advance but it’s just a shame it couldn’t be provided.
