Find peace and relaxation in our five 4 star holiday cottages, fishing on the River Drynachan and a Shooting Lodge. Lose yourself in the best and beautiful landscape that is, the Scottish Highlands. But thanks to our team we’re thriving. Our cottages aren’t just holiday homes. They’re part of a living estate. Behind the scenes, our team work hard to make sure we preserve our heritage and make sure
you get the most out of your stay. We rely on people like our farm manager. His team farm the 3,000 acres of arable land on the Estate. Gaze out a cottage window and you might see him cultivating crops. Our moorland management means guests can hear the call of ground nesting birds in the spring, see a patchwork of purple heather in late summer and watch sheep and highland cows grazing. We’re preserving the landscape and growing timber in a sustainable way. The Estate and its surroundings are naturally beautiful. We’re committed to conservation so it remains that way for all our future guests. Because of our management of woodlands and purple heather moorlands, our visitors can see blackcock and capercaillie again. Our partnership with Findhorn Nairn and Lossie Fisheries Trust will keep the River Findhorn flowing with salmon and trout. Sustainability is key for us too. Working with Cawdor Forestry Limited, we sell mature timber to local sawmills where it’s chipped for biomass or used to create commercial timber products. As part of the Cawdor community, we create local employment and help businesses grow. Our idyllic holiday homes and lodge help boost tourism in the area. They offer the ultimate retreat for couples, families and big groups. Every single year, we’re able to show visitors what the Highlands have to offer. From local community groups to farmers, we work with a variety of stakeholders to strike a balance between our commercial viability, environmental sustainability and community responsibility. We want to boost the economy of the place we call home. We employ nearly forty permanent and seasonal staff, let out farmland on long-term and seasonal grazing agreements and lease cottages to many of our team. Why not come and join us for a true Scottish holiday reveling in the majestic Highlands landscape and reconnecting with yourself and nature in the peace and quiet that is Cawdor Estate.
