Ben Klibreck

Couples after peace and space, or families seeking a self-contained base for a Scottish break, will find Ben Klibreck suits both. This two-bedroom lodge sits within the 1,000-acre Burgie Estate, surrounded by woodland and working farmland, with direct access to the grounds. The property sleeps four across a double and two single beds, each with its own ensuite or bathroom. A fully equipped kitchen, open-plan living area with woodburner and French doors to decking, and a private hot tub mean everything you need is on hand.

The location bridges two landscapes: the Moray Firth coast lies 4½ miles north with clean sandy beaches, while southern hills covered in heather offer walking routes from the doorstep. Burgie Arboretum is accessible nearby, and there are golf courses and a distillery within reach; shops, pubs and restaurants are five miles away. The estate itself provides miles of natural ground to explore. Electricity, bed linen and towels are included; the kitchen is fully appointed for cooking. The property is entirely yours, set on unmade road access. One small dog is welcome, to be kept on a lead as the estate includes working farm areas. There is an unfenced pond in the grounds.
