Pet-friendly woodland lodge resort in the Cairngorms National Park
Accommodation & Pet-Friendly Lodges
The resort offers self-catering woodland cabins with private bathrooms and fully equipped kitchens. Each lodge has a conservatory dining area with views of the surrounding birch woods and the private lochan. Pets are allowed in designated cabins, and guests can request complimentary duck food from reception to feed the resident ducks outside their door.
Leisure & Wellness Facilities
Guests have complimentary access to the indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room, and fitness centre on site. Tennis courts, a games room with pool table, and a 9-hole golf course at the sister resort Macdonald Spey Valley Golf & Country Club are included in the stay. The Spey Valley leisure complex also provides additional swimming and spa facilities, with free parking available at both locations.
Location & Outdoor Activities
The resort sits within the Cairngorms National Park, a 15-minute drive from Aviemore and 30 minutes from Inverness. Cairn Gorm Mountain offers skiing and hiking, and Landmark Forest Adventure Park is less than 10 minutes away by car. The Highland Wildlife Park and several whisky distilleries are within a 30-minute radius, providing guided tours and wildlife encounters.
Family & Children's Amenities
Children can use the dedicated playground with swings and climbing frames, the indoor games room with table tennis and darts, and the trim trail walk around the lochan. The resort provides board games and outdoor play equipment for younger guests, plus a kids' activity room during peak seasons. The ducks and peacocks roaming the grounds offer daily entertainment, and the lochan is safe for supervised paddling.
Dining & Clubhouse Services
The on-site Murdochs bar and restaurant serves Scottish cuisine with a view of the lochan, though opening hours vary by season. The clubhouse offers a lounge area with a fireplace and a terrace for outdoor drinks. Guests can also use the self-catering kitchens in their lodges, stocked with cutlery, crockery, and basic cleaning supplies.
