We have been to the hollies a few times, but never at Christmas until this time, the setting outside was stunning, lights entwined around trees and bushes. Inside the Scot’s pine was just as beautiful with a tree and festive lights around the fireplace. The farm shop and shops were just as festive and magical with lights and music playing. We really enjoyed a relaxing time here over Christmas. Well done team hollies on creating such a beautiful setting at Christmas time.
We came to view Muckrach around a year and a half ago and knew straight away it was exactly what we wanted for your wedding. Fast forward to August 2025 we couldn’t have been happier with how our day and weekend went. We had the house and the lodges for a few days. All of our guests and suppliers were amazed with the venue. We absolutely loved having our wedding celebrations here and couldn’t have done it without the incredible help of the team and flexibility we were given. Donnie was incredible and made everything seem completely hassle free. If anyone is considering this as their ...more
This was our second stay in this outstanding property. Well located, lavishly appointed and beautifully presented. We've already rebooked for next year! Just go!!
Stunning, just stunning. An excellent lodge in an excellent location (though you do need a car if you want to explore the area) Superbly maintained by onsite team. Have already booked for next year and can’t wait to go back. The hot tub is superb!!
This was our second stay in the Speyside Suite at Hollies Lodges, and once again, it was absolutely faultless. From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming and perfectly maintained. The lodge was immaculately clean, and the attention to detail was clear throughout - from the high-quality furnishings to the thoughtful touches that made the space feel like a true home-from-home. The suite itself is extremely comfortable, with a luxurious bed, plush seating, and beautifully finished bathrooms. Everything is designed with relaxation in mind. The peaceful surroundings and stunning views...more
My family and I stayed here for a long weekend and we had such a comfortable stay. It was ideal for us and very spacious. My child loved the highland cows.
Had a fabulous relaxing stay in the Hollies. The lodge had everything we needed and the hot tub felt perfectly secluded in our private garden. It was a heatwave so only downside was that there was no way to cool the lodge down in the heat. The farm shop had everything we needed for our meals, so we barely needed to venture beyond the site, and the setting amongst the trees was perfect.
A wonderful couple of nights at The Stay, immaculate room, very comfortable & plenty of space in the room. Ideal location for all our requirements. The staff were very friendly & helpful, would highly recommend & hope to return again soon. Thanks to Andy regarding the booking, very helpful.
Great stay,excellent location,been going to hollies for the last 8 yrs love it all,bit expensive but good quality
Thank you for a lovely stay. We enjoyed our suite and appreciated the attention to detail! The only oddity was that our door was open upon arrival and we were unable to get connected with anyone using the phone system, but otherwise all seemed well.
Having had these cabins recommended by a friend Noble Fir did not disappoint. It was very comfortable and cosy with everything you could want to make it feel like a home from home stay. It was also a very quiet and peaceful location. It was ideally located with many attractions close by including Chester, Chester zoo and Delamere forest. The on site facilities of the farm shop, cafe and gift shop made it even more amazing. There was a huge range of products to choose from and at very reasonable prices. This is somewhere we would stay again.
The place is absolutely lovey well worth the price, everything you require is avaliable. The staff are amazing and only a call away should you require anything
Enjoyed our stay very much. Everything about the lodge and surroundings were first class. When we arrived at the lodge there was a wonderful welcome, with the lamps lit and felt warm and cosy. Everything you would need is provided. Very spacious with comfy furnishings and smart decoration. I enjoyed the hot tub but would have liked some instructions as to how to open the lid as it was quite heavy. We shopped in the farm shop for our meals which if I said it was well stocked this would be an understatement. It sells absolutely everything you could wish for to enjoy a meal in your lodge. It i...more
Second visit to Douglas Fir lodge and we love this place. The lodge is equipped with everything you need, is very clean and well kept. The location of the lodges is great for visiting the area and the farm shop and cafe on site is a bonus
Please could you help me with a stay again!! Many thanks, Andrew Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
