Stay in the Lookout Bunkhouse

Right at the heart of the action, an exquisite bunkhouse for family or friends in Abernethy Forest.

The family friendly Lookout has a mountain hut feel, with exposed pine beams and bespoke Elm furnishing. Cozy up with a book or board game on the Banquette. Relax in the fireside armchair or enjoy the outdoors on your porch and quirky sit-ooterie with forest views. Space for a travel cot.

A quirky, spacious and fun holiday base for groups or families. Play on the lawn or swing lazily in your hammock. Keep an eye out for red squirrels darting about on the feeders set up nearby. On winter evenings, cozy up by the fire over a game of Scrabble.

Our tenth visit to Lazy Duck and another head full of amazing memories. One of the finest places on earth to catch up with good friends and share amazing nights after adventures in the Mountains. Always hard to leave but we will return, thank you for another wonderful stay!”

HOW WE WORK

  • Quiet hours from 10pm-8am

  • No smoking

  • No pets, sorry

  • 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.
