Eco friendly Stays with a Green Heart

Nestled within a tranquil, mature Scots pine forest near Aboyne, our classic dog friendly log cabins offer the ultimate nature-immersion staycation. We believe that you shouldn’t have to compromise on comfort to travel responsibly. Our Gold Award celebrates how we seamlessly blend a premium holiday experience with strict eco-conscious management:

• Protecting Local Biodiversity: Our lodges are integrated carefully into the forest ecosystem, ensuring minimal disruption to local wildlife and native woodland habitats.

• Zero-Waste Focus: From robust recycling frameworks to eliminating single-use plastics, we make it easy for our guests to reduce their environmental footprint.

• Supporting the Aberdeenshire Economy: We champion our region by partnering with local independent suppliers, ensuring that your stay directly supports the surrounding rural community.
