About this property
Highland Tranquility next to the River Spey in the Heart of Malt Whisky Country
Sleeps 8. Cragganmore Lodge has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a large open plan sitting/dining/kitchen area that copes with 8 people in comfort. Ideal as a base for walking, fishing, touring or simply relaxing in a very peaceful location on the banks of the River Spey along the road that leads to Cragganmore Distillery. There are many walks right from the Lodge (The Speyside Way passes within 100m) and within an hours drive there are numerous attractions such as the Cairngorm National Park, the Highland Capital Inverness, miles of the Morayshire Coast, and Whisky Distilleries too numerous to mention. There is a petrol station/shop within 2 miles.
Covid-19 : Although all restrictions have now been lifted, we have retained much of the enhanced cleaning protocol that we introduced in response to guidance from the Scottish Government. We would be happy to discuss what we do in more detail.
NOTE: Cragganmore Lodge's EPC rating is Band D (the average EPC rating in Scotland is D).

About the host
Hosted by Howard Perkins
We have lived in Scotland since 1984 and have spent many years climbing mountains all over Scotland. We first started staying in holiday cottages when our daughter was born and wanted a place of our own ever since.
Why they chose this property
The North East was an area that we hadn't visited much. It's only about 3 hours drive from the Central Belt of Scotland and so is easy to get to for weekends, but still far enough for it to be a world away. It is so easy to relax at Cragganmore - it is so peaceful and yet there is still plenty to do and explore. As many of our guests have said - a home away from home!
