About Fraoch Lodge: Imagine a roaring fire, a welcoming mug of tea, home baking all after a great day in the Cairngorms. A stay at Fraoch Lodge is this and more: fantastic food, flexible meal times, and forecasts and drying room.
Prices range from: £10 to £20 Per person
Surrounding area: Fraoch Lodge’s location is an absolute winner; situated within the Cairngorm National Park in the peaceful Highland village of Boat of Garten, next to the River Spey & on the edge of the RSPB’s huge Abernethy Forest Reserve. The area without doubt holds one of the richest habitats. A walk through the native Caledonian pine forest reveals little has changed since the last glaciers disappeared 10 000 years ago.
We are in the centre of Boat of Garten.
The nearest train station is Aviemore and it is 5 mile(s) away.
The nearest airport is Inverness and it is 30 mile(s) away.
Additional notes: Your hosts at Fraoch Lodge are Andy & Rebecca. The house is of a traditional Edwardian design, made of granite & is decorated very much in keeping with this period. Artifacts from their travels through Asia & Africa adorn the walls, as do mountain pictures from around the Highlands and the world. Comfortable accommodation is provided in 1 group room of 4 beds and 4 twin rooms. Each bedroom has its own hand basin and there are adequate toilet and shower facilities. Catering is very flexible at Fraoch Lodge with meal times to suit your group. We cater for all kinds of groups & can tailor our menu to your requirements including for those who may have special dietary needs. Will hide’s article in "The Guardian" 7.5.05 "we spent the first night enjoying Rebecca's cooking, which would have passed muster in any hotel. Home-made fishcakes, curries, white chocolate & pecan brownies, and raspberry & basil ice cream make up just a small part of her repertoire..." The Lodge also provides a fully equipped drying room, daily mountain forecasts and Andrew, a mountaineering instructor, is always on hand to provide information on conditions & local route advice should it be needed. He is also very knowledgeable about the high mountain flora & fauna, should that be your quarry. A pick-up service is available from Aviemore station or Inverness airport. Please enquire for details.
