FOOD FOR YOUR STAY

One of the books in the lodge, written by the Lady Laird of Ballindalloch Estate

Within walking distance of lodge you'll find tasty homemade food at the Lagmore Café on the Ballindalloch Castle Golf Course. The bar at the local Delnashaugh Hotel is open to non-residents and meals can be booked here too. Or how about cycling to Ballindalloch Castle for afternoon tea or to Tulchan Estate for a BBQ feast?

A short car drive away guests can enjoy a good range of restaurants, pubs, takeaways and cafés in Aberlour, Tomintoul or Grantown-on-Spey.

If you'd prefer to cater in-house, Sainsbury’s, Asda and Tesco will deliver online grocery shopping to the lodge. There are small supermarkets and independent food stores in Aberlour and Grantown and large supermarkets in Elgin and Nairn, as follows,

Aberlour Coop AB38 9QB 14 minutes
Grantown-on-Spey Coop PH26 3HG 22 minutes
Elgin Asda IV30 6YQ 32 minutes
Elgin Tesco IV30 1TY 35 minutes
