Cabins, Chalets & Lodges in the Cairngorms

There are many idyllically located chalets and lodges in the Cairngorms National Park. For instance, you can find them loch-side at Loch Insh, or near the ski road for snowsports or in the grounds of a castle – take your pick! Browse the listings for full details, or read our articles for more inspiration.

To make lodges and chalets in the Cairngorms National Park even more dream-like, add in a hot tub, sauna or games room. And, of course, especially in winter there’s nothing better than snuggling up in front of roaring wood fire. Some also have their own bars, as well as settings in the middle of wilderness far from any other properties.

It’s certainly true that lodges and chalets are very popular and, particularly the most idyllic ones, book up sometimes months and even years in advance. Book early is definitely advisable to secure your place.

That will depend on the particular accommodation so the best thing to do is contact them before you book to check. However, dogs in particular are welcomed warmly all over the Park, in many of the cafes and restaurants. There are so many wonderful walks to take your four legged friend on here just, please, respect the rules and walk your dog responsibly – see this page on outdoor access for more information.

Most accommodation offers wifi and staff will be able to give you details on arrival. Similarly, the vast majority of restaurants, bars and cafes will also offer wifi. However, do bear in mind that there are some very remote, rural locations in the Park so wifi can be slower that you might be used to. Indeed, some of our visitors come here because they want to get away from wifi and digitally detox!
