Marcassie Farm Lodges combine stripped back Scandinavian comfort with rustic charm to provide a snug, simple, fully equipped hideaway in the peaceful, secluded surroundings of our organic farm. They provide an ideal space in which to relax and recharge, or a good base from which to explore our local area with its beautiful beaches, rivers and trees, outdoor activities, castles, distilleries and other historic sites as well as cultural and other interesting events to enjoy. Marcassie Farm Lodges can be booked separately as self-catering accommodation for individuals, or together as a fully catered residential venue with dedicated meeting space for groups.

Had a Lovely stay at Marcassie lodges.
Very friendly hosts.

Oak Lodge & Marcassie Farm afforded me the perfect space/environment to have a 3 month silent meditation retreat.
The lodge was very comfortable, cozy & warm.
My hosts Betsy & Sven could not have been kinder & willing to resolve any issues I had.
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
