EXCELLENT Based on 77 reviews Posted on Google Leslie FullerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lovely surroundings in their woodland. Simon and Michelle were very helpful and the information on arrival is second to none. The Lodges are comfortable with everything you need at hand. It is so peaceful and you soon relax. Forres is a lovely town with plenty of shops.Posted on Google Brigid PoppkeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wunderschöner Ort. Die Cottages sind etwas in die Jahre gekommen aber sehr gepflegt. Es ist zauberhaft ruhig. Und der Wald ist wunderschön direct vor der Haustuer. Ganz ideal ist der kleine Ferienpark für Menschen mit Hunden.Posted on Google Robert LeesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Regular visitor here for over 30 years. It's a home from and a peaceful haven. Usually visit 2 or 3 times a year.Posted on Google chris tyrrellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We stayed in the Alves lodge and it was fantastic. Great price, excellent location and good walks. Simon met us and took us down to the lodge and explained everything about the accommodation and area. Cannot wait to go back after summer. Could not recommend highly enough.Posted on Google david bakerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Posted on Google els robaerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We stayed a week in one of the lodges during Christmas. We were very warmly welcomed by the host Simon. It was a super nice stay. The lodges were very clean and cozy. thanks to the host Simon and his wife. Greetings from Belgium.Posted on Google Ashley McneilTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We spent four days at dava Lodge as a family of 4. Upon arriving we drove to reception and were shown the way to the Lodge by Simon, he gave us a thorough tour of our Lodge and showed us how to work the heating, shower, ect. He also very helpfully showed us a map of the local area on which he marked his favorite spots, from walks to takeaways. The Lodge itself was clean , spacious , albeit abit dated in decor.. but we didn't spend too much time in the Lodge so this didn't bother us. It heated quickly and the beds were very comfy. There was supposed to be a bbq beside the Lodge but unfortunately there wasn't one, there was one next door but not in a great state so we used a disposable one instead. There is an onsight laundry room with a small collection of books,dvds and games. There is also a small kids play park and a circular woodland walk on site 😀. All in all we had a lovely few days and will definitely keep in mind for future visits to the Highlands. Thank you!Posted on Google Andrew GillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

EXCELLENT Based on 108 reviews Posted on Tripadvisor Al&RVerified Casette nel bosco caratteristiche e con ogni comodità Casette nel bosco molto belle; se volete passare qualche giorno in un posto rilassante per visitare i dintorni è la soluzione ideale! Dotate di tutti i confort, i proprietari, gentilissimi, ci hanno accolto con moltissime informazioni sulle attrazioni locali, al di fuori dei percorsi turistici, che abbiamo seguito e non ci hanno deluso.Posted on Tripadvisor B. D.Verified A thoroughly enjoyable, peaceful stay. My wife and I stayed in Cluny Lodge for a week and used this as a base to explore the area.Simon met us on arrival , showed us the lodge and gave us loads of information on places to visit and eat, The Mossett Tavern and the Cardoman Spice , both in Forres did not disappoint , many of his suggestions we took up and enjoyed a very peaceful week. The site only has eight lodges and during our stay there was no noise except for the wildlife in the surrounding trees and forest. The lodge was clean , comfortable and provided an ideal base for us to explore the Moray area and beyond. We would definitely recommend Tullochwood as a place to stay and use for the many things to see and do in this part of Highland Scotland.Posted on Tripadvisor Kirsty TVerified A relaxing family holiday We visited Huntly lodge at Tullochwood as a family, with a 3 year old and an 18mo old. It was perfect for us. Simon met us when we arrived and gave us lots of useful information and tips for the local area. I loved this personal touch. The lodge was clearly well cared for and maintained. Though the lodge is a few years old, you wouldn't know as everything is immaculate and I couldn't fault it. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need to cook proper meals and there are communal BBQs you are able to use during your stay. The lodges themselves look out over a lochan and we enjoyed the evenings sitting in the sitooterie with the door open, listening to the birds. The lodges are well spaced so they feel private, but equally I think it would be a fantastic place to rent more than one as an extended group. The highlight was definitely the 1/2 mile woodland walk around the lochan. We enjoyed ambling along the path every evening on the way to the play park, foraging for blaeberries and wood sorrell with the children and looking out for wildlife. We left feeling incredibly relaxed and will consider returning in the future as the location is fantastic for adventuring on the beaches, in the mountains and forests, and exploring castles galore (as well as excellent ice cream at the park in Forres!) and the staying here made the whole trip perfect.Posted on Tripadvisor gibbclan71Verified Red squirrels and peaceful. From booking to leaving, it’s been faultless. We stayed as a couple in Brodie Lodge. Ample room for two or more. Seriously comfy beds, and for me really white clean sheets. The Lodge was spotless and so well equipped. I enjoyed just sitting out front, great table and chairs, having a glass of wine and just so peaceful. In the morning I had red squirrels to watch. Soon went and bought nuts, what a treat. Location is ideal for Spey River and the distilleries. We went to The Balvenie Distillery. What a treat. I cannot wait to return to the Lodge. Truely a great place to unwind.Posted on Tripadvisor Miriam VVerified Peaceful Forest Retreat – Perfect for Dog Lovers We had a wonderful stay. The house was spotless, very comfortable, and set in a lovely, peaceful location surrounded by beautiful woodland. There are plenty of scenic routes to explore, both on foot and by car, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. It’s truly a paradise for dogs, with endless walks right on the doorstep. Simon was a fantastic host—very kind, welcoming, and with a great sense of humour. We would definitely love to come back and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet escape.Posted on Tripadvisor MoiradVerified Cosy lodges in magical setting I stayed at Tullochwood Lodges recently with my Mum and Aunt (sadly the reason was for a funeral) and was very impressed with the location and lodge. Simon, owner, was really helpful and accommodating (there were other friends and family members in other lodges and he was very patient and helpful with some of the changes they made to who was staying in which lodge - not sure I would have been😂). Our three bedroomed lodge, Gamrie is, in my opinion, best located as it was slightly elevated with a view of the lochan and woods - which we all enjoyed from the conservatory. Two bedrooms were twins and the other a double. I was in one of the twin rooms and the bed was really comfortable (my Mum and and Aunts said the same of their beds) and I loved seeing red squirrels from the window in the morning. The kitchen was spacious with everything you needed and lounge and conservatory had super comfortable seating. Bathroom is large with a walk in shower and a large bath. The weather was slightly chilly for the time of the year but the lodge was lovely and cosy. The lodges are beautifully secluded and there is a super walk around the woods and lochan which my Mum did with her dog. Yet, Forres is only 10 mins away with shops, large Tesco (with a Costa), and and pubs and restaurants and you are within easy reach of super beaches at Findhorn, Nairn and Lossiemouth. I was so impressed with the lodge and Tullochwood in general that I have cancelled our initial Christmas plans and have booked Gamrie over Christmas for a week with my husband and our springer spaniel! Simon has been super helpful and informative already during the booking process for Christmas - cant wait to be back.Posted on Tripadvisor Joan FVerified Tulloch wood lodges fabulous Great lodge in beautiful surroundings Warm and comfortable especially the beds All modern appliances, hot water, electric heating loved the sun room overlooking the loch comfortable chairs and sofa Simon was very welcoming to us and my Cockapoo, he took us through the lodge explaining all appliances etc. Geat dog walk through the woods on the door step. The Rhododendron bushes were in full bloom looking beautiful, a fabulous place to relax, highly recommendPosted on Tripadvisor Maggie CVerified The Clark Family Pack Holiday Weekend We wanted to enjoy some holiday time with our three large breed dogs. Tullochwood Lodge was the ideal place stay, the accommodation was large enough for all three dogs with a fantastic woodland loop for our early morning and nighttime walks. Our location was ideally located as a base to the area and over the weekend we found the best walks in Forres, Kinloss, Lossiemouth and Findhorn. We had pub meals at the crown in Findhorn and the Mosset in Forres with all three dogs being fussed and loved over by staff and clientele. The North Easy of Scotland is thee most dog friendly place we have visited. This was a 5 star weekend and Tullochwood lodge made it possible, we will be back and so will our dogs.Posted on Tripadvisor SusannahAcVerified Fantastic stay! We took over seven of the lodges with family and friends for a milestone birthday celebration over the August bank holiday. The lodges were absolutely perfect - extremely comfortable, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The layout was ideal for our group - wonderful for us all to be able to gather together in the beautiful grounds but for us all to have our own space to retreat to. Simon and Michelle were super helpful both in the run up to our stay and whilst we were there. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Tullochwood Lodges.Posted on Tripadvisor Pioneer812544Verified Making family memories To be honest I don’t normally write reviews, however I feel I must as I’d like Simon and Michelle to know how much myself and my family enjoyed our visit to Tullochwood Lodges. We have visited for the last 2 years and have already booked our cabins for next year. The lodges are a home from home and so clean and spacious. We spend a lot of family time together in the play park on the swings, playing badminton, swing ball or throwing frisbees. All these activities give us a healthy appetite so a BBQ goes down a treat. A walk in the Culbin Forest to Hill 99, or a stroll along the beach is also on our to do list. A Loch Ness Cruise is another part of our memorable days out,. We still haven’t spotted Nessie, however we live in hope. Thank you Simon and Michelle, we are counting down the days till we return.
EXCELLENT Based on 110 reviews Posted on Booking Edzia9.0Verified WonderfulPosted on Booking Jabe10Verified ExceptionalPosted on Booking Dolene10Verified Relaxing, Beautiful and Peaceful Area ☺ We were greeted by Simon, a very friendly and helpful gentleman who explained everything from what to do in the lodge to where to go for food and where to visit the good spots around the area. The lodge were clean, tidy and felt even better than home. The lodge is well equipped and no need to take any extras, as the lodge has it all. A peaceful and quiet area and definitely a spot for stargazing. ☹ Everything was perfect, couldn't fault anything!!Posted on Booking Emma10Verified I wish we could have stayed longer! Thank you! ☺ The property is on grounds of somewhere that is so peaceful and beautiful. It is one of the loveliest places we have ever stayed and would 100% recommend booking Tullochwood Lodges. We travelled from Kent and arrived the next morning and both Simon and Michelle were amazing and so accommodating to us. We stayed for Christmas and there was even christmas tree in the lodge! It was a wonderful experience for our little families as we booked two lodges for our stay. We visited Aviemore on Christmas Eve and that was an absolutely amazing experience, in the day we went to the reindeer center and it wasn’t expensive to go inside and meet the reindeers, then the evening we waited for the Christmas Eve parade which consisted of Father Christmas being pulled by reindeers, bagpipe band playing, the procession ended with an amazing display of fireworks and this was all free, not something we had ever experienced before, thank you Scotland. We also travelled to Glencoe and took the children sledging, there is still so much more to see we will definitely be booking Tullochwood Lodges again.Posted on Booking George9.0Verified Great Value, Great Location and Great HostPosted on Booking Charlene10Verified Great stay ☺ Location is lovely ☹ NothingPosted on Booking Sue10Verified A wonderfully peaceful stay in a fabulous location, with very helpful hosts. ☺ Our lodge had everything that we needed, and we were warm and toasty each evening. It was nice to have nearby neighbours in adjacent lodges but we still felt private. The grounds were wonderful, with well signed pathways. We were sincerely grateful that we could take our three well behaved dogs, and felt our stay was special as we could all be together. Fabulous location too, as we were just a short drive from Forres and other wonderful east coast locations. All supported by a helpful map and write-up on local sights, shops and facilities; much appreciated! ☹ Just a couple of aesthetic improvements, but nothing that majorly distracted from our stay.Posted on Booking Clifton9.0Verified WonderfulPosted on Booking Stacy10Verified If I could score higher than 10 I would ☺ Location is phenomenal, set within private woodland with a half a mile woodland walk starting outside the lodge. The grounds were well kept, as was the lodge. Clean and tidy with everything you need for a few days away. The shower was excellent. Loved the little patio for enjoying the surroundings. The hosts were super informative with a very detailed guide to the area, and very welcoming of my dogs. You get a wonderful treat of the dark sky once the sun sets and a sky full of stars and even the aurora if it rises high enough (trees obscure the horizon slightly). Local beaches are a wonderful treat , especially Nairn, roseile and lossiemouth east. And Brodie castle is only 15 mins away which is a great day out. If you like wildlife rspb loch spynie is also a short trip. Can't wait to return. This has to be the best place I have stayed with the dogs so far, due to the grounds the lodge is set within. ☹ Nothing to dislike here
