One peaceful base for exploring Moray
For guests who want to explore Forres, Brodie Castle, Findhorn, the Moray coast and Speyside without changing accommodation, Tullochwood Lodges offers one peaceful self-catering base near Forres. Return to the same woodland lodge each evening, with your own kitchen and space to slow down.
Start locally in Forres; head west for Brodie Castle and surrounding countryside, north for Findhorn and the Moray coast, or east towards Elgin and Speyside. Quieter lodge days can sit between fuller outings, while longer trips towards the Cairngorms, Inverness and Loch Ness remain possible.
Not every visit is built around sightseeing. If you are visiting Gordonstoun, RAF Lossiemouth, Kinloss Barracks, a local event, or friends and family in the area, Tullochwood gives you a peaceful base with plenty of ways to make more of the time around your visit.
