Description from owner
Description
The Lodge is a traditional stone Victorian lodge house nestled at the gates to Duffus House on Duffus Estate. Perfect for couples or small families, this cosy, single story property is the ideal hideaway to escape from it all. This characterful gate lodge boasts a beautiful wood burning stove - ideal for cosy evenings in, original floor boards and flagstones. There is a private garden with BBQ, fire bowl and garden furniture - perfect for those long, light summer evenings we are so lucky to have in Moray.
The Lodge is surrounded by fields and woodland which makes it extremely tranquil. Duffus Estate has a network of paths, many of which can be accessed directly from the Lodge. Whilst you are out you may be lucky enough to spot some of our resident red squirrels, roe deer or even some of our abundant birdlife. The woods are also home to a host of wild flowers. Spring time is especially impressive due to the grand displays of snowdrops followed by daffodils and primroses. A short walk brings you to the village of Duffus which has a shop, post office and play park. Close by are the glorious beaches of the Moray Firth, golf courses, cliff top walks, the Speyside whisky trail - you really can be as energetic or relaxed as you wish.

“Hidden Gem”
Cannot fault Duffus Estate Holiday Cottage at all. We stayed in the Lodge it was spacious well equipped and good enclosed garden for our 3 Belgian Shepherds. Fab location for visiting surrounding towns Elgin/Lossiemouth and Nairn and loads of beaches. Caroline and Ed left a breakfast pack of rolls, oatcakes, milk, jam just to get started. I would highly recommend if you are looking for the perfect retreat

“Gorgeous pet friendly lodge in beautiful location.”
Beautiful lodge set within the Duffus Estate with the added benefit of an enclosed garden which our two dogs loved. We enjoyed the log burner for cosy evenings. The lodge was well equipped with everything we could possible need. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well. Loved the Duvet! The welcome pack on arrival of milk, shortbread, jam, rolls and fresh free range eggs were much appreciated. We will definitely return. Thank you.
