PLACES TO STAY

ON THE CAWDOR ESTATE

Cawdor Estate spans around 42,000 acres of Highland Nairnshire, from the Moray Firth coast to the edge of the Cairngorms. Our self-catering places to stay range from cottages for two to farmhouses and larger lodges, each set in a distinct part of the estate. Guests return year after year, drawn by the setting and the sense of space. Whether village-based, woodland-set or by the river, each offers a quiet base to experience the Highlands in every season.
