The
Lazy Duck
A stylish, adventurous place to be
Tucked away deep in Abernethy Forest in the Highlands of Scotland. Three unique off grid huts, a small group bunkhouse and a picturesque forest cottage, all nestled in the Cairngorms National Park.

Bear with us: The Dean family are returning to the Lazy Duck in November 2025 (exciting things to come!), so use these dates for bookings from then. For visits in the summer and autumn of 2025, please visit lazyduck.co.uk
What our guests say
From the stream fridge to the wood burner, the box bed to the rocking chair, the porch to the outdoor shower... there isn’t a single part of the hut that isn’t well thought out, laid out and carried out

The Woodman’s Hut
The bed felt like a cloud and our stay was very comfortable. I was nervous about the shower and composting toilets but they made our experience that much better. Both evenings we ate dinner outside. Our walk up to Poet's Seat was magical.

The Homestead
What an absolute treat! We got to live in a cozy lodge, kept incredibly warm by a wood stove during the gently falling snow. If you are a bird lover, this is a great place: tree creepers, great spotted woodpeckers, a variety of tits, and other regular garden birds.

The Duck’s Nest
Enjoy a holiday that is:
UNFORGETTABLE
Days out on the hill, on the water, connecting with people and place.
Sparkly mornings and blissful evenings in this most peaceful clearing in the forest. Revive in our newly built sauna, or cozy around your woodstove.
RESTORATIVE
If you need to do a bit of the day job too, our small, friendly community co-working space lets you get your stuff done on the side.
