North Lodge and River Cabin sit within Glen Dye in Royal Deeside, positioned beside the River Dye and surrounded by woodland and open ground. Built in the late 1890s and fully refurbished, North Lodge sleeps up to six guests across two king-size bedrooms and a twin room, with a large kitchen and dining space, a generous sitting room, two bathrooms, and additional loos.

From the lodge, a private riverside path leads directly to the River Cabin, a separate off-grid space set in the woodland. It includes a wood-burning stove, outdoor seating, and a wood-fired hot tub, along with a Big Green Egg barbecue for outdoor cooking.

Guests also have access to Glen Dye’s wider estate, including woodland tracks, shared spaces, and the Discovery and Adventure Centre. The setting places you within a large private estate, with walking, wild swimming, and outdoor activities available directly from the door.

Set within Glen Dye’s 15,000-acre estate, North Lodge and River Cabin offer a stay that goes beyond the accommodation itself. You have space to spread out, with the lodge providing a comfortable base for groups and the River Cabin adding a more secluded, riverside setting just a short walk away. It works well for families or small groups who want shared time alongside quieter moments.

The setting is a key part of the experience. Woodland tracks, open ground, and the River Dye are all right there, so you can head out on foot without planning around travel. There’s access to Glen Dye’s wider facilities too, including the Adventure Centre, giving you more to do without leaving the estate.

At the same time, you’re well placed for Royal Deeside, with villages, walking routes, and local spots within easy reach. It’s a straightforward base that offers both space and access to the surrounding area.

Set within Glen Dye in Royal Deeside, North Lodge and River Cabin are surrounded by woodland, open ground, and the River Dye running through the estate. There’s a clear sense of space from the moment you arrive, with tracks leading out in different directions and the river never far away.

North Lodge sits slightly back among the trees, giving it a more sheltered position, while the River Cabin is set closer to the water, reached by a short walk from the lodge. The two spaces work together, giving you different ways to spend your time during your stay.

Days here follow the setting. You can head straight out on foot, walk along the river, or spend time within the wider estate. It’s quiet and rural, yet still within easy reach of the surrounding parts of Royal Deeside when you want to explore further.
