Our Testimonials And Guest Reviews showcase the memorable experiences our guests have had during their stay.
“We have been coming here for 19 years now and it is as amazing now as it always has been. Our children were 11 and 13 when we first came here and they still come back with us all these years later so that shows what a great place it is for all ages. The cabins are spotless with everything in them that you could possibly wish for and so comfortable. We have stayed in both the smaller lodges and the bigger ones and they are both equally as special as each other. The view from the big lodges, over the lochan is spectacular. We had no hesitation coming back this year, this is the ideal holiday to go on.” Sheila
“What an amazing place, with wonderful owners. We stayed with our son and two grandsons and it suited us perfectly. Everything we needed was there at our fingertips and we could not have asked for a better place to stay. Sleep was amazing due to the dark and quiet and quality bedding! We visited as many places recommended by Simon & Michelle as we could, to great acclaim from our 12 & 7 yr old boys as well as us adults.
The lodge (Huntly) was very well set out with good furnishings a fab cooker and hob, and (to my delight) a dishwasher. Laundry can be done in the site laundry in excellent machines. We had such an amazing time that we are rebooking to take most of our family! Thank you all at Tullochwood Lodges for the best holiday ever” Trisha
“What a truly wonderful, magical place Tullochwood is! The lodges are really clean, cosy and with everything you could need. Our lodge (Eilean) had just been given a new bathroom and en-suite, which was gorgeous! Amazing shower!
Tullochwood really is a sanctuary of calm that is bathed in woodland and wildlife. We chose to stay in one of the bigger lodges that has a fantastic summer room looking out onto Tullochwoods own small little loch.
It is so quiet, with just the sound of the wonderful birdsong and the soft humming of the bees.
It is only 10 minutes in the car from Forres, with an abundance of other places to see and explore. Beautiful beaches, woodlands, open space, fresh air that is joyful to your lungs!
Lots of breakfast, lunch and dinner options including Brodie Country Fayre and Logie Steadings. But, you can get all the exploring tips you need from Simon and Michelle who run the Tullochwood Holiday Lodges and are just the nicest, friendliest, most helpful people you will ever have the pleasure to meet. If there is anything you need, they will go above and beyond to give you the best experience possible, but they are also completely non intrusive.
They are always happy to see you! We love it here, and our dog would quite happily spend the rest of her days at Tullochwood! Cannot recommend it enough!
If you want to come to Scotland, Tullochwood Lodges are your place! You won’t regret it.
We come every year and it just gets better” Charlie

“We stayed at Tullochwood for a week in the 3 bedroom Eilean lodge. Both my husband and I and our wee boy who is 3 really loved this place. Such a peaceful location and lots of space for the wee one to run around and explore. Our lodge was spacious and very well appointed with everything we needed. Lots of great days out just within a short drive- we loved Fort George, Inverness leisure pool, Randolph’s leap and Roseisle Forest/Beach to name a few. The lunch menu in the Mosset Tavern in Forres is such good value and very tasty! We would love to return to this area and would definitely stay at Tullochwood again – thank you!” Minnie
“Everything we could have thought of was provided ie dishwasher tabs, bin bags, cloths, towels (which we requested). Bedrooms – nice bedding & blankets, nicely done. Bathroom large. Spent most of our time in the conservatory. Even though we are not “out-doors” type people was still a very pleasant break. Very friendly owners. Far better than the average self catering” Sarah
“We stayed at Tullochwood with our son who has mobility and cognitive issues. The lodge was absolutely perfect for him, and us giving him the opportunity to experience the beautiful, tranquil setting without “obvious” equipment. This made him feel comfortable and relaxed in the surroundings. There is plenty to do, from forest walks, castles and gardens to delicious food at both the town of Forres and attractions such as Brodie Countryfare and Baxters. Simon and Michelle were wonderfully accommodating to our needs and were warm and welcoming to all of us. We will definitely visit again with our son and I would highly recommend Tullochwood.” Kathryn
“Just come back from a week at Tullochwood and had an exceptional time. The site is in a picturesque woodland area about 4 miles from the town of Forres (which is also a lovely place), so it’s well placed for getting around. The family that owns the site couldn’t be more helpful, friendly and chatty. Nothing is too much trouble.The cabins are comfortable and well equipped. Beds are extremely comfy, slept like a log all week! There’s a small lake and a kids’ play area – kids loved that. Had a great week, would love to go back next year :)” Graham
“Lovely warm, cosy and clean lodge. Perfect for a winter visit to Forres. Very welcoming – Simon spent time with us at the beginning of our stay explaining local places of interest – ideal given that we had never been to the area and were only there for a few days. Would definitely return if we are in the area again.” Sonia F
“Simon & Michelle were very friendly, polite & informative. Lovely couple. The lodge was lovely, very clean & well taken care of. Will definitely be back. Whole family had a great stay 🙂 Very good to take your dog’s also, our boy Teddy had a fantastic time“. Stephanie
