Stay in the Duck’s Nest
Embraced by the forest and perched on the bank of the pond: our waterside eco hut in the Cairngorms National Park.
This hut offers wildlife photography opportunities and wildlife viewing at all times of the year. Your neighbours are the red squirrels in the branches above and the otter and heron who come to fish the pond.
Stretch out on the veranda in the morning sun to sound of the stream. Snuggle down in a Hebridean box bed with windows to the forest and the night sky. Fall asleep to the sound of the water slipping by.
To unwind and relax a little more, fire up the Fhuarain sauna just across the pond, or see what’s on in the Well Being Studio.
We were looking for an escape and we got it. We met a lovely red squirrel and some roe deer too!A fabulous retreat for couples who either want to just hibernate away from the world or to use as a base for more adventurous activities.

Self-catering; groceries from Nethy Store, The Dell Grocer, Balliefurth Farm Shop and the Co-Op.
Now that the Scottish grid is overwhelmingly renewable, background heat comes from green and smoke-free storage heaters. There’s nothing quite like a wood stove though, so we provide firewood too.
We recommend packing a head torch, sturdy footwear and easily carried luggage is advised.
FIND YOUR OWN ADVENTURE
This is your place. Find your hut and explore.
The Lazy Duck is not ‘hosted’ like a hotel is, it’s different. Roger and his family may be around, or we may be away. If this is your first time here, we’ve made it easy to find your feet and you’ll receive a self check-in video before you arrive.
PAYMENT & CANCELLATION
A 50% deposit secures your stay, with the balance due one month before your arrival.
If your plans have to change, please let us know as soon as you can. We can only refund payment if we are able to re-let your booking, but we will do our best to promote it on our website and on the socials.
Travel insurance is a good idea too.
