Description
Welcome to Lodges at the Mains, our unique, architect-designed holiday homes. Our aim in the fusion of luxury and eco is to create the perfect environment for a relaxing, comfortable and positive experience.
Our two contemporary luxury lodges are built to give our visitors a truly wonderful holiday experience with the least impact on the environment. State-of-the-art green technology, including ground source heating, solar panels and cellulose insulation, combines with stylish interiors and stunning views to give the modern Scottish feel. Relaxation and comfort are assured in the peace and tranquility of the woodland setting, home to abundant wildlife.
Built from untreated larch, we have achieved a carbon neutral build. The main heating is powered by a ground source heat pump, with solar panels as a secondary power source. The lodges have many outstanding features including underfloor heating on all levels, a multi-room sound system, a wood-burning stove, bespoke furniture made by a local craftsman and natural materials throughout. The beds and tables were made using elm grown on our farm. The slates are reclaimed and landscaping uses only indigenous species including rowan and birch.
The solid oak kitchen is fully equipped with top quality modern appliances including a dishwasher, fridge-freezer and washer-drier. This 21st century technology combines effortlessly with the natural materials used in the units and flooring to create a relaxed ambiance.
The spacious lounge comprises comfortable sofas, 37" HD TV with Blu-Ray DVD player, iPod docking station, Wi-Fi, wood burning stove, maps, board games, books and stunning views. The dining area comprises a dining table crafted from home-grown elm.
The kitchen and hall have natural stone floors and all other rooms have oak floors. A bathroom, spacious hallway and large decking areas complete the ground floor. The oak and glass staircase leads to the mezzanine floor, which hosts a whirlpool bath in its own special area of the lodge.
The top floor has a very comfortable twin bedroom with high ceilings, built in wardrobes and craftsman-made beds. The master bedroom has a king-size bed, again craftsman-made in elm, a balcony with table and chairs and outstanding views over-looking farmland and beyond to the Moray Firth.
The adjoining shower room is light and spacious and can be en-suite. Linen, towels and mattresses are of the highest quality to ensure a comfortable stay and reinforce the high standard throughout the property. Locally sourced eco-friendly complimentary toiletries keep down our carbon footprint, helping to ensure you stay is both comfortable and environmentally sound.
