This is a lovely property - ideal for us (a couple) with our two dogs. The cottage is adorable and the walks through Duffus estate are just great.

Fantastic stay

The lodge is lovely and has everything you need. Communication was first-class and the people we met at the coffee hut really fostered a fantastic community feel. The property is on the very edge of the estate so next to a main country road so we’d be keen to discover what the other properties away from that road would have in store being that little bit quieter. All in all, would very much recommend!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay in The Lodge and that our community feel really shone through - we put our heart and soul into everything we do on Duffus Estate. We know that staying next to a country B road is not everyone's cup of tea, which is why we clearly state this in our advert. We would love to welcome you again and would recommend booking either Old Duffus Farmhouse or Kirktoun Cottage.

Beautiful Lodge

What a beautiful, lovely house. From the moment you step in to the moment you step out to the back garden it’s just amazing. It makes you never want to leave. It has everything you need to be at home. And the communication between the owners was spectacular. no matter what questions I ask it was responded to quickly. We’ll definitely stay again when we come back this way. Thanks to Caroline and Gemma for making the stay more than we could ask for!
