Just a stone’s throw from the Moray Firth coastline, this delightful lodge occupies a peaceful corner of the Duffus Estate - a grand, expansive setting of woodlands, open fields and abundant wildlife. Perfect for up to three guests, the property invites you to immerse yourself in nature without straying far from home, with scenic walking paths beginning right on your doorstep. The charming seaside village of Hopeman lies just 2.5 miles away, offering the perfect starting point for an adventure along the Moray Coast Trail. This spectacular 50-mile route hugs the coastline, revealing hidden coves, rugged clifftops and wide sandy beaches, with opportunities to spot dolphins, whales and seabirds along the way. The trail begins in Forres (11.5 miles), a picturesque market town with plenty to explore, including a golf course, two distilleries and award-winning floral displays.
