Location & Surroundings

Dalrachney Lodge sits in Carrbridge, 37 km from the University of the Highlands and Islands in Inverness. The property offers views over the River Dulnain and is less than a 2-minute walk from the village center. Guests have direct access to Cairngorms National Park, Rothiemurchus estate, and the Abernethy Nature Reserve, as well as a golf course across the road.

The lodge offers super king rooms and ensuite options, including a superior king room with a 4-poster bed. Each room has a spacious bathroom with a waterfall shower and a spa bath. Guests can watch deer, rabbits, and birds from the windows overlooking the garden.

Dining & Bar

A cooked-to-order breakfast is served daily, with options such as scrambled eggs with salmon on sourdough toast or Tracy's French toast. The bistro bar offers informal dining, while a more formal restaurant is available for dinner on selected evenings. The bar stocks over 40 whisky selections, including single malts, and the hosts can also prepare real haggis on request.

Activities & Wildlife

On-site activities include archery, canoeing, cycling, fishing, horse riding, and water sports. In winter, guests can go skiing at nearby slopes, and the hotel offers a ski school. Wildlife tours tailored by local partners provide access to stunning locations for photography and viewing of ospreys, deer, and rabbits.
