Nestled at the gates of historic Duffus House

The Lodge, or to give it its official name of Duffus House Lodge, is the traditional gate lodge of Duffus House, the historic family seat of the Dunbar’s of Northfield and which was leased to the famous Gordonstoun school for 82 years. It sits at the main entrance to the Estate and to our new campsite, opening 2025. It is a traditional, single storey, stone built property complete with its own garage and fenced back garden.

Welcoming
 
January 2026
 

We had a fantastic stay at The Lodge – it was lovely and toasty warm the whole time despite being -6C outside, welcoming and stocked with everything you’d need. Local recommendations were excellent including Friday evening Duffus pizza which is a must.

Trails around the estate including off road to the village nearby were easy to follow and great for a morning dog walk. Extra things made for a really great stay – washing machine and ceiling airer very useful after sauna and swim at the nearby beach, firewood chopped and ready for use if wanted, doggy bowl and biscuits to welcome the pooch and milk in the fridge for the first cup of tea.

Would absolutely stay again! The WiFi was also fast if you wanted to work whilst here and Caroline was proactive with tips and messages.

Thoroughly Recommend

We just had the best few days at Caroline’s place. The house itself is lovely. It was perfect for 2 adults, our 4 year old and our baby with everything you could possibly need. The house is beautifully decorated from the upholstery to the wallpaper and lovely and it is super cosy (especially with the wood burner). It has a washing machine, tumble dryer and pulley which all comes in handy with 2 wee ones. A particularly nice touch was a wee basket of goodies of Scottish jam, chocolate, biscuits and other goodies. Lovely wee cottage, beautiful area. Thoroughly recommend. Oh and (Kula) the coffee hut at Duffus castle does amazing coffee and cakes!

Really lovely and well equipped little cottage in a beautiful area of the world. Very comfortable bed. The dogs loved the enclosed garden. Handy EV charger at the front. Caroline was very responsive. Highly recommended overall.

Stunning! What a fantastically put together quaint lodge.

Every single detail had be thought of, from the welcome basket to the doggy essentials. We felt very at home and cosy – the log burner was the cherry on the cake.

Caroline, your thoughts into the furnishings and decor is second to none – I adored the tartan touches. We can’t wait to visit again!

One of the Best

Very impressed with this property. It was extremely homely with amazing attention to detail.

Information regarding local amenities – where to eat and what to do – given by the owner was very detailed and she gave a very interesting history of the property.

Communication with the owner was very easy and she responded very quickly.

One of the best properties we have stayed in. Thank you.
