This bright and cosy lodge has french windows which open onto a veranda looking west towards Pluscarden Glen (Home of the famous Pluscarden Abbey). Ospreys have been nearby.
Kestrel nestles on the edge of a five-acre natural woodland. Many species of wildlife can be observed from this peaceful setting. The cabin has panoramic views facing south from the french windows.
A private track follows a small burn through a wooded glade up the hill to the Buzzard cabin. This cabin is situated on an elevated site and shares the open woodland with deer and badgers.
