The Cairngorms National Park is well known for its stunning natural larder, and Cairngorm Bothies and Cairngorm Lodges provide an ideal base for visitors wishing to explore the area's renowned reputation for wild mushrooms and other edible plants.
The two dog-friendly retreats, nestled in a peaceful Scots Pine forest setting in Royal Deeside, serve as a gateway to autumn's rich bounty and the region’s extensive network of walks and trails. It is a great place to enjoy outdoor activities such as walks, hikes, geocaching, and mountain biking.
These gold green tourism awarded businesses are pleased to welcome guests who are keen to responsibly explore the surrounding forests, Birchwoods, and footpaths. While Cairngorm Excursions currently don’t offer guided foraging experiences, they offer a unique opportunity for individuals to embark on their own mindful journey into nature. The activity of foraging, combined with the enjoyment of walking, offers a powerful way for guests to slow down, connect with the landscape, and appreciate the seasonal gifts of the area whilst recharging in the fresh air of the Cairngorms National Park.
A spokesperson for the businesses said they were proud that both properties offer an ideal base for outdoor enthusiasts. "The joy of stepping out from your front door directly onto a beautiful trail or finding a rewarding autumn harvest is part of what makes a stay here so special," the spokesperson said. "It’s wonderful to see our guests engage with the natural environment in such a hands-on way."
