The Lodge is a traditional gate lodge located at the entrance to Duffus Estate, on the edge of the small village of Duffus. Set just in from the Elgin/Duffus B road, it is surrounded by Estate woodland and open fields which are home a host of wildlife, such as our cheeky red squirrels or shy roe deer. We welcome up to 2 well behaved dogs and you can explore the network of paths across the Estate and beyond. Duffus is only 2 miles from the magnificent Moray coast with its unspoilt sandy beaches. The Lodge, or to give it its official name of Duffus House Lodge, is the old gate lodge of Duffus House. Duffus House is the historic family seat of the Dunbar’s of Northfield, and the building was leased to the famous Gordonstoun school for 82 years. The Lodge is a single storey, stone cottage, set back from the road, complete with its own garage and fenced back garden. It is furnished with a mix of antiques from the Estate, along with carefully chosen modern pieces. The property has a good sized, south facing, double bedroom complete with king sized bed. The smaller single bedroom faces west and has characterful original floor boards. We provide crisp Egyptian cotton bed linen and fluffy Egyptian cotton towels. The sitting room has a beautiful wood burning stove, ideal for cosy evenings in front of the fire. We provide complimentary logs from the Estate for the stove or the fire bowl provided in the garden. The sitting room also has a small dining table and chairs for eating. There is a separate utility room and fully fitted kitchen should you wish to cook for yourselves. The grass back garden is enclosed with a waist high, wooden fence. It is ideal for those with dogs, but please note we would never recommend leaving your dog unattended at any time. There is garden furniture for 3, along with a BBQ and fire bowl for when you wish to spend an evening relaxing outside. There are lots of lovely walks in the area, including around Duffus Estate, right on your doorstep. We are lucky enough to be surrounded by wildlife so you might be lucky and spot some of our local population of red squirrels, roe deer, hare, and owls, to name a few! Other things to note: Local charity, Earthtime for All, use our Estate woodland for their outside nursery and forest school activities. Therefore please ensure your dog is on a lead when walking through the network of Estate paths. RAF Lossiemouth is approximately 5 miles away.

Within walking distance of Duffus with its shop and play park, you can be as relaxed or active as you feel. Kirktoun is a surprisingly spacious cottage. The bright sitting room has a lovely restored open fire (with complementary logs from the Estate), perfect for cosy evenings in. It has a large window with a beautiful open westerly outlook. There is a separate dining room - ideal for long, leisurely dinners with friends or family. The well appointed bathroom is downstairs and has a shower above the bath. The two cosy bedrooms can be found upstairs. One is a king sized double with views into the Estate woodland and the good sized twin bedroom has a view across open fields. Kirktoun has a good sized, private garden; part of which is enclosed - useful for containing children or the dog! The patio area is great for summer BBQs or sipping wine on those long, light filled summer evenings we are blessed to get up here in Moray. There is also a fire bowl for our guests to use to keep them warm whilst perhaps watching the stars or having a wee nightcap. Duffus Estate has a network of paths, which guests are welcome to explore. Whilst you are out you might be lucky enough to spot some shy roe deer, a cheeky red squirrel or even some of our abundant birdlife. Our woods are also home to a host of wild flowers.
