  • Family-run Moray farm site in a Speyside woodland setting
  • Beaches, forest walks, golf course and Malt Whisky Trail all nearby
  • Woodland trails and kitchen on site; firepits for hire
Have a quiet relaxing time or a more adventurous holiday…The Loft in Moray is suitable for all tastes. Active sorts have plenty to keep them busy nearby, including whitewater rafting, sailing and surfing over at the coast, exploring the countryside by bike or taking a tour of the region's numerous whisky distilleries. For more chilled times, hire a firepit for lazy hours in the evening, or spend days out exploring walking trails that run around The Loft's grounds and the surrounding countryside. Amenities at this secluded wilderness site are in a converted Nissen shed, which houses a kitchen, showers, toilets (including accessible facilities) and a baby changing area. Hot water and cold drinking water is available here too, and there are more facilities up at the main reception building if required. Local shops, pubs and amenities are five miles away in Forres, and Elgin is within 15 minutes' drive. Beaches, forest trails and a golf course are all within a few minutes' drive as well, as is the Malt Whisky Trail for those in search of top tipples.

What customers say

Highly recommended campsite with lovely, tranquil grounds & clean facilities. Spacious, private pitches, often treed. Friendly staff, games barn, and great location for attractions/beaches. Minor updates needed in spots, with occasional shower temp/toilet distance issues. Overall, overwhelmingly positive with many return guests.

All-season powered grass campsite

Liked Great location and services, lots for the kids to explore and games room to play in, great facilities and pleasant staff, I would definitely go back.

Disliked To be very picky the games room could do with new pool balls and cues, the table tennis and football table could do with new balls, but what we had was fine, great for the kids to hang out and socialise.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your lovely review, we’re so pleased you enjoyed the location, facilities and games room, and it’s great to hear the kids had fun exploring and playing. We appreciate your feedback on the equipment; unfortunately, some of the balls and other bits in the games room have been damaged on a number of occasions this summer, and we’re sorry if this impacted your visit. We do our best to replace them where we can so everyone can enjoy the space. We’d love to welcome you back again soon!

The 3rd time we've stayed here and we will be back again for sure.

Gavin W.

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked 2nd time this year we have stayed. Stunning location and so close to beaches, walks and other visitor attractions. The site itself has really clean facilities, plenty of showers and toilets. The site has always been quiet but also plenty kids having a great time running and playing around the site. Quiet after 10pm and there was never any noise or loud music. Simple checkin process when you arrive after 4pm. You get your envelope with your pitch number and off you go. There is a barn with table tennis and table football for keeping kids entertained.

Disliked 3rd time we've stayed in total so it's one of our go to places. Nothing we dislike.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us again! It’s wonderful to hear we’ve become one of your go-to places, and we’re delighted you enjoy the location, facilities, and atmosphere on site. We love seeing guests (big and small) making happy memories here, and it’s great to know you appreciate the peaceful evenings too. We look forward to welcoming you back for visit number four!

Camping pod (family)

Liked Location was great for travelling to places to visit, kitchen facilities were good along with the shower facilities, the pod we stayed in was positioned well.

Disliked Pod would be better with a re-fresh with some aspects replaced.

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the great location (we’re very lucky to live in such a beautiful area!), as well as the kitchen, shower facilities and your pod’s position.

Our camping pods are a simple, rustic alternative to camping, offering a cosy stay from just £50 per night. We do appreciate that some little touches could be refreshed, and we’ll take your comments on board. We’d love to welcome you back again soon to enjoy more of what our lovely area has to offer.

Powered grass tent, campervan or trailer tent campsite

Liked Easy check-in. Well thought out site pitches. Super clean facilities everywhere ... Showers are hot. dog friendly. Peaceful relaxing site. Being our first ever camping trip we were a bit apprehensive.. even more so with having our 2 German shepherds in the mix for added stress. The whole experience for us was unexpectedly good and very relaxing. The owners work tirelessly on site and it shows. 10/10 from us.

Disliked Absolutely nothing. If we were to say we disliked anything.. We'd only be grasping at straws..

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re absolutely delighted that your first camping trip was such a positive and relaxing experience and it was a real pleasure having you all here. Your German Shepherds were wonderfully well-behaved, and it was lovely to see you all enjoying the site together.

We really appreciate your kind words about the facilities and the site, it means a lot to us and our hard working team. We hope to welcome you again soon... Until then, take care and happy adventuring!

site with good facilities, poor presentation of approach through farm.

All-season powered grass campsite

Liked Showers and toilets, indoor recreation area. Good dogs walks.

Disliked The general presentation of the farm buildings and approaches in need of tidying up. Many areas in neglect and not well kept. You drive through this area before reaching pitches and camp site, rather off-putting

Recommend to friends Visit again

From the manager: Thank you for your feedback, we’re really pleased you enjoyed the showers, toilets and recreation area, and that your dog enjoyed the walks too! We are very lucky to have so many beautiful palces to walk on our doorstep 😊

As a working farm and a more rustic, natural-style campsite, we do our best to keep everything tidy while staying true to our relaxed, rural charm. We appreciate your comments and will keep them in mind as we continue to make improvements. Thanks again for staying with us!

Local attractions

Stage your own mock battles at Culloden; the battlefield and a modern visitor centre are half an hour’s drive away. History buffs will also find plenty of castles and moody standing stones to clamber around. Moray’s mild climate and low average rainfall mean there’s a good chance of making the most of the fabulous golf courses, sailing, sandy beaches, forest trails and awesome mountains – you can even take to the slopes during the ski season. Amber nectar aficionados will also be interested in making the rounds of the renowned whisky distilleries nearby: everyone’s heard of Glenmorangie, Glenlivet and Glenfiddich, all easily doable from the site, but with half of Scotland’s malt whisky distilleries located in the Speyside area of Moray, there’s no shortage of options, including two beauties close by in Forres. If you don't know where to start, or want to get a comprehensive overview, hit the Malt Whisky Trail for a planned route around producers large and small.
