*This fee includes the welcome hamper, which contains bread, baked goods, eggs, coffee, tea, milk, butter, artisan cheese, jam and marmalade. A selection of ready-to-eat meals are also available for guests to order from our professional kitchen, all of which are made by our professional chefs. The fee also includes laundry, linen, unlimited logs, private outdoor bathtub for each lodge, and complimentary use of the boat on our loch.
The lodge is located on a truly vast estate that is only open to guests and residents. This includes the maze, walled garden, two lochs, two beaches, meadows and endless woodland. As such, the grounds maintenance and landscaping are significantly more extensive than an apartment unit in a suburb.
During Christmas and New Year, we have a minimum of a seven-night stay.
