Cawdor Estate - Achniem Cottage

The perfect hide away.
Once a gamekeeper’s cottage, now an undisturbed hideaway with views of farmland out of every window. Natural light seeps into every room and there’s plenty of space for two, or even up to 4 using the comfy sofabed.

Easter escape, summer trip, or winter weekend away – you’ll always be greeted by impressive views of the Moray Firth coastline, the Black Isle and beyond. From grand armchairs in the living room to the paintings on the bedroom walls, we’ve added thoughtful touches to help you relax. Forget drinking your morning coffee while you do a million other things – sit back on the garden bench and lap up the Scottish sun.

After a visit to Elgin Cathedral or even white water rafting in Cairngorms National Park, try a delicious pie from Bruce Clark butchers and sip on Scottish malt whisky.

What to do.
Whether you want to relax or explore, there’s plenty to do near Achneim Cottage. You could: Forage along the beach for salty Samphire and serve with Scottish salmon fillets from Wester Ross Salmon; Get up close with the marine life at the Scottish Dolphin Centre at Spey Bay; Cycle through the Culbin forest with easy to follow routes; Visit in June for the European Pipe Band Championships at Forres.
