Holidays are for life, not just summer, that’s what we say here at Dalriada Luxury Lodges where we’re open 365 days a year.

Simply select your date, make the reservation, then pack your bags and head to our Stonehaven retreat for a getaway whenever the mood takes you.

Forget the daily grind, the pressure is off. We supply a friendly welcome, comfortable and spacious lodges and all the added extras that turn a holiday from fine to fabulous.

Arriving is just the beginning of the adventure – we’ll make sure you have everything you need to ensure maximum enjoyment.

Take it easy

Get up early and make the most of the day or snuggle under your warm duvet in your cosy lodge and enjoy the luxury of a long lie.

Watch the rugged coastline from the picture window of your living area – or watch television relaxing stretched out on the generous sofa.

Take an indulgent bath or go for a bracing wild swim off the beach at Stonehaven.

Freedom and choice to come and go as you please - the bliss of having a lodge all of your own.

Natural beauty

Our location, overlooking Stonehaven on the Aberdeenshire coastline, offers spectacular views. Look out for the bottle nose dolphins swimming in the North Sea, or look up to the night skies and you might catch a glimpse of the Aurora Borealis, also known as the northern lights. Autumn and winter are the best times to see them, when the nights are at their darkest.

Everything – plus the kitchen sink

All our lodges come fully equipped. In the kitchen there’s combi microwave oven, roomy fridge with deep freeze, and washing machine/dryer.

Heading out? You'll find windproof umbrellas and reusable lidded coffee cups. Staying in? Look out for the bookcase with some great paperbacks and board games.

All lodges have baths and showers and complimentary Scottish Fine Soaps shampoo and conditioner, as well as a hairdryer.

For a good night’s sleep there’s a choice of firm, medium of soft pillows.

Pet friendly

Bring the family – and your dog. Dalriada Lodges are pet friendly, and we even provide welcome packs especially for four legged guests.

Greens to the fore

If golf is your game, play a round at Stonehaven Golf Course – one of the most dramatic and scenic courses in the region – and guests can have a free round. Outside every lodge is a secure kit house that’s perfect for storing golf gear and bikes.

Whenever you come and stay, the beauty about a break at Dalriada Luxury Lodges is that no two months are the same. It’s a place for all seasons indeed.
