Hill of Maunderlea Lodges have been owner operated since their construction in 2010. The 14 acre site includes an open area with views to the south west, with 4 x 2 storey, detached timber framed lodges accessed from a central driveway. The northernmost section of the
site benefits from a viewpoint with views over rolling Farmland to the Moray Firth
Over half of the land is covered with mature woodland, which include a number of paths for clients to enjoy the surroundings. There is a large football pitch sized area to the south east of the site which would be ideal for further lodges, and additional lodges could easily be
placed to the south west side of the site, subject to planning consent being granted.
An aerial photo of the site is provided which indicated where additional lodges could be positioned, based on lodges being the same size as the existing buildings.
Rates vary throughout the year and range from £550-£850 per week depending on season. The detached storage shed is used for storage of all site equipment and laundry and also includes an office at ground floor. The building incorporates a mezzanine area accessed from the rear of the lodge via an external staircase. This level has been utilised as a staff bedroom with lounge area
