Happy New Year everyone! Entering 2026 the Lodge continues to attract groups of all shapes and sizes; from small families of serving and retired military personnel to school groups, charities, scouts, universities, walking groups and mountain rescue teams. Our goal during 2026 is to build on the success achieved during 2025. We aim to increase our occupancy and use the income we generate to improve our facilities and our visitor experience.
Guests wishing to enquire about availability or secure a booking should continue to use the ‘contact’ icon at the foot of this homepage, or contact the Lodge Manager at manager@rothiemurchuslodge.org.uk, or on his mobile: 07311 317509.
We look forward to welcoming new and returning guests during 2026 and to continuing to offer all-year-round, affordable, self-catering accommodation in the heart of the stunning Cairngorms.
About the Lodge
Rothiemurchus Lodge provides accommodation for regular and reserve members of the Armed Forces in addition to veterans, MoD Civilians and Cadet Forces. The families of these groups are also most welcome. The Lodge is now also available for use by schools and similar youth organisations such as Scout Association and Girl Guide Association.
The Lodge has 102 beds over three separate accommodation buildings. The breathtaking Cairngorms and Spey Valley provide the perfect surroundings for skiing, mountain biking, climbing, hillwalking, fishing, canoeing, watersports, golf and much more.
Rothiemurchus has launched a public consultation on its new Long-Term Forest Plan (LTFP) — a 20-year vision to manage the ancient pinewoods for biodiversity, recreation, and sustainable forestry. The plan outlines proposals for habitat restoration, natural regeneration, selective felling, and replanting to ensure a healthy and resilient forest for future generations.We invite local residents, visitors, and community groups to share their views and help shape the future of this unique landscape.Read the full plan and give your feedback:
