The Gate Lodge is accessed along a private road and located in a tranquil setting on the northern shore of Loch Ericht. It has comfortable, elegant public rooms far beyond the ordinary, with unique décor, deep sofas, and grand granite fireplaces. The warm and welcoming ambience flows through to the four sumptuous bedrooms, each unique in character. There are excellent views from every room, not least the turreted 360◦ viewing gallery at the top of the tower.
This luxurious haven is an ideal choice for a peaceful and relaxing break and is marvellously located to experience some of the local attractions and activities on offer. With closer access to the otherwise remote Ben Alder Mountain, it is a perfect location for hillwalking parties seeking a luxurious haven to return to at the end of an active day.
Gate Lodge offers a selection of beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own character and stunning views of the loch. The master suite features a king-size four-poster bed, bespoke furniture and comfortable seating, while the second king room is equally spacious with elegant furnishings and breath‑taking vistas.
Two twin rooms provide plush soft furnishings, with one enjoying double‑aspect views.
Every bedroom is complemented by a luxurious en‑suite bathroom, finished with marble vanity tops and a classic roll‑top bath with shower over.
The living spaces are designed for both comfort and luxury living, with a spacious drawing room featuring elegant furnishings, deep sofas, a cosy open fire and breathtaking views across Loch Ericht.
The beautifully decorated dining area, with its large table seating eight in front of another open fire, opens onto two south‑facing verandas that capture sweeping views of the loch and the magnificent mountains beyond.
A dedicated television room provides a relaxed retreat with comfortable seating, a TV, while still offering excellent views. The ground floor hall leads to a striking staircase and viewing gallery, creating a sense of grandeur and connection to the surrounding landscape.
Bedroom three, with twin beds, is dressed in warm contrasting fabrics and offers direct loch views, complemented by a fresh en‑suite bathroom with bath and shower over. Bedroom four, also a twin, is decorated in calming buttermilk cream tones with mixed print fabrics, comfortable seating, and dual‑aspect windows showcasing loch and mountain views; it benefits from its own dedicated bathroom with both bath and separate shower.
