About Smithy Croft

Smithy Croft is a beautiful, spacious lodge in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, perfect for family holidays, group getaways, or a break with friends – dogs included! Located in the friendly village of Carrbridge, it’s just a short walk to the Landmark Forest Adventure Park and only a 10 minute drive from Aviemore. Its peaceful riverside location allows guests to step outside and enjoy beautiful walks along the water directly from the house.

Sleeping up to 12 guests, the lodge has four large bedrooms, two upstairs king rooms (one with an en-suite), and two downstairs family rooms, each with a king-size bed and two handmade wooden bunk beds that kids will love.

At the heart of the lodge is a large well equipped open-plan kitchen, dining and living area with a cosy wood-burning stove and vaulted ceiling. There’s also a second sitting room upstairs for quiet moments including a kids snug area.

Outside, the private, enclosed garden is perfect for relaxing and entertaining. Enjoy the hot tub, fire pit, BBQ, and pizza oven all great for summer evenings under the stars. Kids can play safely in the Sumggler's Cove pirate-themed playground or test their skills on the Scottish music-themed mini golf course.

For cyclists, there’s a secure bike shed and maintenance area while EV drivers can use the on-site electric car charging point. The garden is enclosed, with a gate leading to peaceful riverside walks, great for dogs and little explorers.

This property is designed to be bookable by families only – other groups must contact us before booking.

A beautiful and well presented lodge, in lovely surroundings and in a great location.
on Tuesday, 07 Apr 2026
Smithy Croft is a truly charming and beautifully styled lodge, set within lovely grounds in an excellent location. The accommodation is finished to a high standard, with thoughtful details and unique features that give the property a real sense of luxury. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - the beds were incredibly comfortable, the living space was warm and cosy with the log fire, and the open-plan kitchen and dining area made it perfect for relaxing and entertaining. Even in snowy, stormy weather, the hot tub was a real highlight! We loved our stay so much that we’re already planning our return. Great North Lodges were excellent to deal with - responsive, friendly and genuinely helpful throughout. Highly recommended.

Excellent Stay in a Fabulous Location!
on Monday, 05 Jan 2026
This is the third time we have stayed here for the week over the New Year, and will be coming back next year to stay again this Christmas in 2026. The Lodge has everything you need and is in a great location in the centre of Carrbridge. Plenty of seating for a large family (there was 7 of us) and very comfortable. We're always there in the winter and despite the cold outside it's warm inside! Very festive with the Christmas/New Year period and there's a shop and petrol station in the village with a great pub and restaurant (The Cairn Hotel). Our party had a great stay and very happy to return! Aviemore is a 10 min drive and Inverness 30 mins. Lots to do and see and we do something different every time we come. Only criticism is the bedding is now somewhat older and greying. The sheets on my bed had holes but everything was clean just not good to look at. As mentioned, we will be back again next Christmas and we're all looking forward to it! Steve

Great Lodge and location ideal for a family celebration weekend
on Thursday, 01 Jan 2026
Very well appointed spacious lodge with everything you needed for a great stay - hot tub a hit with the grandchildren and adults alike. Every mod con you could think of including an EV charging point. Two of the Bedrooms ideal for family groups with quirky cabin bunks. Totally enclosed garden for both children and dogs. Lodge located by the river in the quaint village of Carrbridge, within walking distance of the Landmark Outdoor venture park which was great for the kids with still plenty of activities available despite area being partially closed off due the winter.

We agree! Smithy Croft is a fabulous property, plenty of room for all the family to relax, well equipped & great for all the family. Great for families who are considering a visit to Landmark Forest Adventure Park and if you choose to stay at home the kids can entertain themselves on their own personal pirate ship or crazy golf course!

Had a great stay at Smithy Croft, absolutely loved the kids bunk beds & snug upstairs and the open plan living area downstairs ideal for entertaining the family. Outside space was a godsend for the kids pirate boat, swings, mini crazy golf, BBQ & Hot Tub. Cant wait to come back soon. Roxburgh Family

We stayed here as a family for a family get together. The Croft is fantastic it had everything we needed, the location was brilliant for walking, cycling, the dogs, the shops & superb local pub & visiting Landmark. The open plan living area was ideal for a large family and the large outdoor area was a perfect for the kids of all ages. All in all fabulous we will be back. The England Family
