Set just in from the Elgin/Duffus B road, it is surrounded by Estate woodland and open fields which are home a host of wildlife, such as our cheeky red squirrels or shy roe deer. We welcome up to 2 well behaved dogs and you can explore the network of paths across the Estate and beyond. Duffus is only 2 miles from the magnificent Moray coast with its unspoilt sandy beaches. The Lodge, or to give it its official name of Duffus House Lodge, is the old gate lodge of Duffus House. Duffus House is the historic family seat of the Dunbar’s of Northfield, and the building was leased to the famous Gordonstoun school for 82 years. The Lodge is a single storey, stone cottage, set back from the road, complete with its own garage and fenced back garden. It is furnished with a mix of antiques from the Estate, along with carefully chosen modern pieces. The property has a good sized, south facing, double bedroom complete with king sized bed. The smaller single bedroom faces west and has characterful original floor boards. We provide crisp Egyptian cotton bed linen and fluffy Egyptian cotton towels. The sitting room has a beautiful wood burning stove, ideal for cosy evenings in front of the fire. We provide complimentary logs from the Estate for the stove or the fire bowl provided in the garden. The sitting room also has a small dining table and chairs for eating. There is a separate utility room and fully fitted kitchen should you wish to cook for yourselves. The grass back garden is enclosed with a waist high, wooden fence. It is ideal for those with dogs, but please note we would never recommend leaving your dog unattended at any time. There is garden furniture for 3, along with a BBQ and fire bowl for when you wish to spend an evening relaxing outside. There are lots of lovely walks in the area, including around Duffus Estate, right on your doorstep. We are lucky enough to be surrounded by wildlife so you might be lucky and spot some of our local population of red squirrels, roe deer, hare, and owls, to name a few! Other things to note: Local charity, Earthtime for All, use our Estate woodland for their outside nursery and forest school activities. Therefore please ensure your dog is on a lead when walking through the network of Estate paths. RAF Lossiemouth is approximately 5 miles away. You may be lucky enough to spot one of the jets that are occasionally seen training. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Electric car charging station on site - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 25 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Tennis ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - 100% renewable energy - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Composting - Comprehensive food waste policy - Comprehensive recycling policy - Double-glazed windows - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Eco-friendly toiletries - Electric car charging station - Garden - Local culture and ecosystem education - Reusable coffee/tea filters ## Similar properties ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/68000000/67550000/67545800/67545739/w1920h956x0y0-aacab4df.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cottage by the Sea.

The cottage is adorable and the walks through Duffus estate are just great. ##### Irene C. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Fiona J. 17 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic stay The lodge is lovely and has everything you need. Communication was first-class and the people we met at the coffee hut really fostered a fantastic community feel. The property is on the very edge of the estate so next to a main country road so we’d be keen to discover what the other properties away from that road would have in store being that little bit quieter. All in all, would very much recommend! ##### Fiona J. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rosemary D. 3 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Lodge What a beautiful, lovely house. From the moment you step in to the moment you step out to the back garden it’s just amazing. It makes you never want to leave. It has everything you need to be at home. And the communication between the owners was spectacular. no matter what questions I ask it was responded to quickly. We’ll definitely stay again when we come back this way. Thanks to Caroline and Gemma for making the stay more than we could ask for! ##### Rosemary D.
