Braemar
The
Estate is situated six miles from Braemar in the heart of Royal Deeside.
It forms part of the core area of the Cairngorms National Park.
The estate contains four of the five highest mountains in Britain and the upper watershed of the River Dee and remnant Caledonian pine forest of national importance.
The outstanding wildlife and birdlife on this prime example of a Highland estate is characteristic of the northern mountainous area of Britain.
The properties at Mar Lodge Estate are ideal for visitors wishing to explore this magnificent area all year round. The immediate area boasts ample opportunities for hill-walking, cycling, skiing, snowboarding and sledging, as well as fishing (salmon and trout) stalking and shooting which are offered on Mar Lodge Estate itself.
Within the grounds of the estate Creag Bhalg and Claybokie form their own exclusive small estate, comprising two exquisite houses, private in the extreme and beautiful in every respect. With their open fires, deep beautiful sofas, antlers, tartan carpets, and fine furniture and paintings, these must be among the most comfortable lodges in Scotland.
Both Creag Bhalg and Claybokie are set within a high-walled garden on three sides and the fenced-off river to the front, and are perfect for house parties and family get-togethers. They are let on a self-catering basis, however we can recommend local caterers should you wish to spoil yourself.
Creag Bhalg is just two minutes’ walk from Claybokie, through woodland. Creag Bhalg is a single-storey property that is suitable for the less able and sleeps 8.
