Scotland where dramatic castles stand in contrast to tumbledown crofts, bottomless lochs hiding ancient mysteries and men wear skirts with impunity. If you want to experience a true Scottish culture then look no further than Culdees.
Our Luxury cabins are inspiring, homely and authentic. We pride ourselves on respecting the nature around us and have designed our unique site to nestle quietly into its surroundings. A truly unique space with complete privacy.
A Hot Tub, fire pit and BBQ are all available within your own personal space. Wild deer roam free along with our own poultry.
Spiers Lodge is a larger cabin which has direct views of Historic Culdees Castle which is currently being restored. The castle is back lit at night adding to the breath taking views across the estate and into the Highlands beyond. Decorated with a soft interior of blues, heather and Scottish wildlife images.
Drummond Lodge looks out into our flower meadow and grazing fields beyond. Decorated with a fresh botanical theme.
Majors Lodge is set deep within the woodland and styled as a cosy Scottish hunting lodge. Red plaid furnishings and rustic charm.
Horton lodge is a larger cabin with a stunning large lounge window that looks across the flower meadow. The cabin is set back into our woodland and surrounded by rhododendron bushes and ancient trees. The interior styling pays homage to our Culdees Peacocks with striking blues and greens.
All our cabins are accessed by private pathways. All have outdoor pergola seating areas, fairy lighting and private gardens. Wood fired spa hot tubs, BBQ stations and firepit gardens are also available. Here’s what our guests say about us. We are filling up fast so book your staycation for 2022.

Working out the best way to tackle the castle kitchen 🤔#culdeesrenovation
We managed to escape for a couple of hours and grab a drink. Although we buzz around each other most days it’s often hard to sit and chat. Thanks to @thetowercrieff for squeezing us in 🥰
“No Tracey this windy is not salvageable!”🤣 🙄oh well I tried #culdeesrenovation

Loving this old map of The Culdees estate in 1922 #scottishhistory #culdeesrenovation
This room in the courtyard was once the Castle larder. A room flanked by wooden shelves, cold slate worktops with sturdy stone legs to support the weight of deer carcasses and game birds. The courtyard is now an intimate event space, so I have a vision that this room will now become a larder store of fine Scottish whiskeys and gins. A small bothy with a store of exquisite bottles, a couple of leather armchairs. A place to hang out and blether in the quiet. Appreciating the tipples and the magnificent stone walls of the castle. #onedayatatime #culdeesrenovation #whiskeyrocks #ginbothy #dreamingbig
