We were on a tent camping/walking holiday with our dog and decided we needed a place to stay for a few days as the weather forecast wasn’t great. We stumbled across Marcassie Lodges quite by accident as they popped up on Booking.com. What an absolute joy it was on meeting Betsy to learn about the deep eco/sustainability credentials, how the lodges were built from their own timber and the community living and working around the farm including artists, carpenters and more. We found the lodges incredibly cosy. We’d return in the evening and the lodge would retain some of the heat. They seem wel...more
I wanted to take my partner away for a weekend to try her hand at pottery, and there is potter on site. We arrived and was initially very surprised at how small the lodge was. It was very clean and tidy, but lacked a few small but useful touches...no TV (fine if you want to be outdoors all day, or have a laptop?), no coffee table in the lounge, and no little bedside tables for tea and toast in the morning!

Had a Lovely stay at Marcassie lodges. Very friendly hosts. Tranquil countryside location. Ideal if you want relax. Second time we've stayed and I'm sure it won't be our last.

I genuinely enjoyed my stay in the Blackthorn Lodge at Marcaisse farm. I could tell from the beginning that the space had been created and furnished very thoughtfully. In the little kitchen I had everything I needed and wanted, the bed is very comfortable and generally everything is of a high quality standard. There is a lot of daylight inside and a beautiful view into the field, lined with mighty, old trees. The location is great, close to the ocean, to the Cairngorm mountains and you can have beautiful walks in the forest, that start right at the farm. It is useful to have a car to get aroun...more
