What They Say

Guest Book

Wow, what a magical place this is. It will always have a place in our hearts. Our wedding was on the Wednesday of our stay just in front of the Woodmans, with the Cairngorm Mountains behind us. We couldn’t have wished for a better day and setting to symbolise the start of our journey as Mr & Mrs Wood. Thank you Phil & Sarah for making our stay a memory that we will keep close to our hearts for the rest of our days.

Danny & Hannah, Wedding & Elopement, April 2022

Before long I was bouncing around with an added spring in my step, breathing deeper and relaxing. We've had an awesome three-night stay in wonderful surroundings. A great site and super hosts! This is a very well realised eco ethos, one of the best. Would love to return one day. Awra best!

Gareth, Esther, Ben & Jake, Basecamp, August 2022

Thank you for an amazing time in Basecamp. We have loved our stay, the friendly welcome, wonderful wildlife, Wild Willow Shower, chimenea/hammocks and super relaxed atmosphere. We have loved our time here.

Rob, Clare, Lucy, Katie & Alex, Basecamp, August 2022

Thank you for such a wonderful place! We have had a great holiday, exploring the forests & Cairngorm Park. Then kids have loved it and adults too, the outdoor shower is genius! We will be back.

Scott, Louise, Angus & Alba, The Lookout, May 2022

We have had a wonderful stay. It has been so peaceful and relaxed with so many wonderful walks and beauty all around us. We have slept so well in the cozy cabin. The chickens are just the best of neighbours. Such a wonderful place!

Sarah & Aiden, The Homestead, October 2022

Another fabulous visit to The Woodmans, our fourth! Epic stars and Autumn colours. The usual great service from Lazy Duck team. Thanks and see you next time.

David & Gail, The Woodmans, October 2022

Thank you for such a lovely break, we loved the hot tub and local walks around Abernethy Forest. The kids loved the hammocks too and the sit-ooterie is such an amazing space, we'll definitely be back.

Mary-Ann, David, Samuel & Eilidh, The Lookout, September 2022

We have not felt this relaxed in such a long time ... arrived with plans for big walks but kept on slipping back to this little piece of heaven on earth. We will be back soon.

Michael & Sarah, The Ducks Nest, June 2022

From reading some of the Visitor Book entries it seems each season brings its own individual joy at The Woodmans Hut. We spent a relaxing autumn equinox catching the last of the blaeberries, spotting the first mushrooms and all the wildlife that frequent the cabin. Our stargazing hot tub session and relaxing massage topped off the perfect stay. We are coming back again to experience another season.

Laura & Bob, The Woodmans, September 2022

I have completely fallen in love with this place! All the peace and solitude I needed but the knowledge that there’s always a friendly face nearby. I’ve spent my time just wandering & pondering and have loved just sitting out on the porch under the stars, wrapped up in a blanket or just chilling in the company of the ducks during the day. Thanks so much for the warm welcome.

Come home to slow living

Spend time with your loved ones, reconnecting with simpler times of adventurous days and lazy nights in our eco huts, off grid wood cabin, bunkhouse or safari tent. Sit in front of a crackling chimenea, wrapped in a woollen blanket and chat until the stars come out. This is a place for elemental living, personal reflection and recharging of batteries. Check our accommodation pages for more details on how you can stay with us: The Homestead, Lookout Bunkhouse, The Ducks Nest, The Woodman’s Hut or our Seasonal Safari Tent, Basecamp.

Ideally located to explore the Cairngorms National Park and just 20 minutes from Aviemore by car. An adventurous walk from your log cabin over the Ryvoan Pass takes you into the heart of Rothiemurchus Forest. It’s only a short hop onto the Snow Roads for a tour of our local distilleries. Abernethy Forest is on your doorstep so adventures can start from our eco huts if you prefer. The Loch Garten Osprey centre and shoreside walks is a must. Visit our key partner sites for more local information and reviews of Lazy Duck stays: Visit Scotland, Visit Cairngorms and Trip Advisor. Please contact us to arrange a bespoke well being session, special group or family event. We offer guided mountain bike rides.
