Dalrachney Lodge Hotel

About

Dalrachney Lodge Hotel is a former Edwardian hunting lodge dating back to 1845, nestled on the edge of Carrbridge in the Cairngorms National Park. Set on two acres of private grounds and approached via a Scots Pine‑lined driveway along the River Dulnain, the lodge offers a tranquil Highland escape just 15 minutes from Aviemore. Within the lodge’s atmospheric rooms—ranging from Double and Twin to King and Super King—original Victorian and Edwardian features such as pitched pine woodwork, high corniced ceilings and antique details are complemented by tasteful, heritage‑inspired furnishings. Each guest room is individually styled and many include handmade 6‑ft Savoir beds for a truly comfortable night’s sleep. Every stay includes a freshly cooked breakfast featuring French toast, full Scottish pastries, smoked salmon with scrambled eggs, and a selection of vegetarian and vegan options, ensuring a hearty start to your day. The hotel’s facilities include a bar, lounge, terrace, free Wi‑Fi, bike lock‑up, meeting rooms, and on‑site parking, while sustainability is fostered by efforts to reduce plastic. Activities abound with wildlife watching, fly fishing, skiing, golfing, mountain biking, and the National Cycle Network Route 7 right in the village, making Dalrachney an ideal base for exploring the Highlands. The lodge prides itself on warm, family‑run hospitality, a welcoming ambiance, and accessibility features such as ramps at the main entrance. While dogs are not accommodated on the property, guests will find a peaceful retreat surrounded by natural beauty and rich history, having welcomed guests for generations—including visits by King George V and Queen Victoria.
