Red squirrel

a cheeky red squirrel

On a sparkling spring day in Scotland a cheeky red squirrel was noticed hanging upside down and eating bird nuts from a feeder outside the kitchen window. The lodges’ owner, immediately said that this was why he wanted each lodge to have its own unique space so as not to disturb the wildlife experience of others.

ECO FRIENDLY

There is no doubt that Cairngorm Lodges are located in a very unique and special setting and all who work here consider it their duty to be its custodian for future generations to enjoy. We hope, of course, that our guests will assist us with this responsibility.

  • Pine Marten lodge was a beautiful cosy lodge to stay in, very warm and immaculately clean, equipped with all the things you need. Waking up every morning to squirrels, various birds on the decking and tree creepers and woodpeckers on the forest trees right beside lodge, the surrounding forest and Loch make these lodges an amazing hideaway totally peaceful and excellent dark skies at night, would highly recommend and personally will certainly be staying again future.

  • Highly recommend Cairngorm Lodges. Lodges are clean and comfy, set in peaceful Blelack Forest. Scenery is stunning, loads of walks. Dogs loved it too. August 2015

  • Our second visit – still fantastic. Wonderful lodges; great walks and wildlife – red squirrels visited daily to the nut feeder. We will be back! October 2015

  • We are not one to fill in books. But I just wanted to say what a fantastic time we had. It is not often that the hype in an advert turns out to be correct. The lodge is fantastic, the setting perfect and the whole area is exceptional. We will be back to find more walks and bike rides in the future.

    Thanks from us both. May 2016

  • We are on our last day and it has been the best week ever. If you want total relaxation then this is the place to be. The cabin is perfect & the walks in the surrounding area are fab and the dogs agree. We’re lucky enough to see red squirrels daily and a pair of kingfishers and woodpeckers with plenty of other birds happily flying around. The best part – the log fire, what a treat. Can’t wait to come back in February with the family.

  • Brilliant from start to finish!
    Sarah and Carol were a joy to deal with in booking and hosting us for a long weekend.
    The lodge was clean, cosy, modern and really well appointed. Furnishings and interior were of quality and made the stay even more comfortable.
    The location is perfect to get away from it all, the kids, dog and ourselves absolutely loved the walks and peacefulness of the locale.
    Would highly recommend and will hopefully be back soon.
