Cairngorm Bothies and Cairngorm Lodges, located in Logie Coldstone near Aboyne, has enhanced its booking options to provide short-break accommodation for visitors attending the region's packed summer calendar of events and Highland games.
The self-catering business has adapted its operations to align with the peak summer travel market as the Aberdeenshire school holidays begin. Under the new policy, the 12 off-grid dog friendly bothies on the Blelack Estate feature an any-day check-in model with stays available from just a single night. Concurrently, the adjacent log cabins at Cairngorm Lodges have reduced minimum stay requirements down to two nights.
By offering these shorter, more flexible stay options, the business makes it simple for holidaymakers and outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy a relaxing, dog-friendly getaway that fits perfectly around their schedule. This allows guests to seamlessly plan their forest & nature break alongside traditional summer highlights, including the nearby Tarland Show 8th August), Aboyne Highland Games (1st August) and Ballater Highland Games (13th August)
Operating within a mature Scots pine forest, the developments combine local event accessibility with a carbon-mitigating environment, utilising a balance of renewable energy and sustainable local procurement.
Gordon Drummond, owner of Cairngorm Bothies and Cairngorm Lodges, said: "Aberdeenshire truly comes alive at this time of year, and our new flexible booking options make it easier than ever for visitors to enjoy the spectacular local events happening right on our doorstep. Whether people are travelling from afar for the world-famous Aboyne Highland Games or just looking for a quick weekend getaway, our bothies now allow any-day check-ins from just one night, with a two-night minimum now available at the lodges.
"With the school holidays breaking up, there is so much on in the area for families, dog owners, and holidaymakers this season. True sustainability means supporting our local heritage and communities, and I would highly suggest checking out our summer special offers on our website to secure a unique, low-impact basecamp for the event season. As a special welcome to our fellow Chamber members, you can book your summer stay using the online code 'AGCC10' this month to claim a discount on any stay between July and September."
