Stay in Travellers Cottage
The family friendly Travellers Cottage is sunny, airy, welcoming. If you fancy something just a little more on-grid than off, this one is for you.
Make Travellers Cottage your base camp for exploring the Cairngorms, or just make the most of this stunning corner of Abernethy Forest. On winter evenings, cozy up by the fire over a game of Scrabble.
In the 1800s Scottish Highland Travellers camped here when taking their horses from Lochaber to the wool fair in Inverness. You’ll find a few books and pictures in Travellers Cottage, our nod to this part of our heritage.
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!”

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.
