John
and Veronica Maclean extend a warm welcome to guests at their traditional,
stone-built, house, which has been in the Maclean family since the middle of the
19th century.
Although surrounded by highly productive farmland - John owns 500 acres on which
he grows wheat, potatoes and especially malting barley for the local whisky
industry, Westfield House is only 3 miles from the historic town of Elgin, with
the ruins of its large 13th century cathedral, renowned biblical gardens and
famous Elgin Museum.
Sandy beaches on the Moray Firth are a short drive away and the countryside
around Spynie and Elgin is ideal for walking. Spynie Palace, former residence of
the Bishops of Moray is well worth a visit. Further afield, the 'Malt Whisy
Trail', taking in many great distilleries, is within easy driving distance, as
is Inverness - gateway to world famous Loch Ness. John and Veronica have
detailed knowledge and a love of the area and will ensure that their guests are
able to derive maximum benefit from their stay.
Westfield House itself is sumptuously furnished in a traditional style - tartan
carpeting in the hall, red carpeting in the dining room, an oak staircase
displaying oil paintings and standards. In the winter an open fire welcomes
guests into the sitting room.
The fine linen bedding, the plump pillows and the views over the countryside all
combine to provide an atmosphere of comfort and relaxation.
For the energetic a tennis court is available.
There is an opportunity to put a marquee up in the garden for weddings and
parties.
