Glenfeshie Estate is at the heart of ancient Caledonian woodlands, interspersed with sparkling rivers and lochs, and encircled by Britain’s wildest and most extensive mountain massif. The landscape here is breathtaking from every angle, and this peacefully secluded locale is home to over 5,000 species of wildlife, 20% of which are considered ‘Nationally Rare’.

Arriving by a single-track road that winds its way through the pine forests, the drive up to the lodge dramatically sets the tone for your stay. The grandeur of the glen, coupled with its wide flowing river, will captivate your senses as you marvel at the everchanging scenery before you.

The lodge itself dates back to the 1880s and can host parties of up to 12 guests on an exclusive and fully catered basis. Fit for royalty, Glenfeshie once played host to Queen Victoria, the Crown Prince of Denmark, and, more recently, the cast of the television series, The Crown.

Stepping through the ancient front door and greeted by crackling fires, the comfortable and traditional interiors – designed by Ralph Lauren – feature a historic dining room, tartan-clad living room, and cosy bedrooms with open views of the hilly landscape and neighbouring river. There’s one ensuite master bedroom, three ensuite doubles, one large ensuite single, and two further single bedrooms.

Make the most of the beautiful Scottish Highlands and enjoy unforgettable days out on the estate. Head out on guided nature walks in the Cairngorms with Wildland conservationists, learning about the Wildland re-wilding initiative of which the estate forms a key part. Or, don your waders as Pelorus can arrange for a privately guided fishing experience with one of Scotland’s leading female anglers. Elsewhere, encounter the mystical ‘three unicorns of the Cairngorms’, three white horses that freely roam around the estate, adding to the feeling of being in a real life fairy-tale.

However you choose to adventure, return to the lodge for a cosy evening where your private chef is on hand to prepare delicious meals from locally sourced ingredients, with many of the seasonal vegetables being grown in a number of the Wildland estates’ kitchen gardens.

Sustainability

Glenfeshie is at the centre of an ambitious undertaking to fulfil a 200-year-long rewilding vision that aims to enhance habitats, species and ecological processes within the Cairngorms National Park and beyond.

The Wildland project covers three regions of the Scottish Highlands, focused on the Cairngorms, Loch Ness & Lochaber and the north coast of Sutherland, and encompasses an array of conservation and community focused activities.

Why we love it

For those looking for a unique getaway, full of eclectic charm and traditional Highland spirit, Glenfeshie promises a wonderfully unconventional escape in the heart of some of Scotland’s most spectacular scenery.
