Poppy Lodge is a very cozy chalet. Equipped with every you may need for a self catering holiday. The decor is bright and modern. The beds are very comfortable.

We don't always get the chance to meet our guests, however are more than happy to speak to them by telephone if the have any questions. Based in the beautiful village of Boat of Garten, Poppy Lodge is a fantastic base for exploring the area or simply relaxing. We love to cycle and walk in the area. One of our favourite walks is along the Speyside Way path to Aviemore, approx 5 miles. The views towards Aviemore are stunning. We will then have a bit of lunch in Aviemore and get the bus back to Boat of Garten. Alternatively walk the opposite direction to Nethybridge, another beautiful highland village, you can also get the bus back from here. Cycling is very popular in the area, both off road and road cycling. Just opened in 2021 is a Pump Track suitable for cyclist of all ages. It is only a short walk from Poppy Lodge situated in the woods across the road from the Park entrance. Of course there is much more to do in the area to suit all interests. Enjoy your break.

Our guests use Poppy lodge as a base to enjoy the outdoor life in the immediate area and also as a base to travel a bit further. Nairn, Findhorn and Inverness to the North are easily reached by car. Loch Morlich, with it beautiful beach is a 20 min drive away. Here you can enjoy a variety of water sports, wet suits and equipment can be hired at the loch. There is a network of paths for walking and cycling. Easy paths to more challenging ones. For children who like a bit of an adventure Landmark in Carrbridge (5 miles from BofG) is worth a visit. Tree top adventures and dinosaurs!!! Aviemore for shopping and a great selections of places to eat. The Highland Wildlife Park in Kincraig is not to be missed. A second baby polar bear was born in 2021 and should be able to be seen in 2022. And so much more - golf, fishing & whiskey trails. Off course ski-ing when there is enough snow.
