Whether you’re wanting to just relax and enjoy a bit of peace and quiet in lovely surroundings or wish to explore the enormous range of activities in Aberdeenshire, Moray and Speyside; Hill of Maunderlea Lodges offers the perfect accommodation for your Scottish holiday, whatever the time of year.

Nestled in fourteen acres of mature woodland, set on a small hill in historic Banffshire, our four newly built lodges provide a luxury standard of self-catering accommodation in an exceptionally beautiful and peaceful location. It's an ideal place to see the Aurora Borealis, better known as the Northern Lights, as you can see for miles around. The surrounding countryside is of gently rolling hills, dotted with market towns, woodland, small lochs and rivers which flow to a coastline punctuated with sandy beaches, rugged cliffs and rocky coves. There are also many interesting fishing villages and towns, including Portsoy and Pennan, to explore.

While exploring the local area why not do a bit of dolphin watching?
Or learn to surf? There are many fabulous walks and cycle runs, pony trekking and of course fishing and who could forget golf? With the Lecht Ski Resort only an hour away by car skiing and snowboarding are also options. If you prefer something more leisurely then there are many historic building and beautiful gardens to visit as well as the world famous whisky trail to experience. Local Highland Games and festivals provide great days out too - so much to do!

This is our 7th time staying at Maunderlea and it never fails to impress us, If you're looking for pure peace and quiet in a remote location, this is the place. I did notice a new grey white house had been built and kind of spoiled the view a bit, the attraction of these lodges is the remote aspect don't want it getting over built. Very clean, value for money, excellent communication with Juliette who kept us informed of what we needed to know. Will definitely be back soon.
