Local Area
Lossiemouth on the Moray Firth in the North East of Scotland is famous for its 2 beaches – East & West. A haven for tourists our beaches are not just for relaxing and having fun in the sea. Our beaches and river are bustling with surfers, paddleboarders and canoists from first thing in the morning to last thing at night.
Beautiful Beaches
Our beautiful Covesea Lighthouse is an iconic landmark and can be accessed from the west beach on foot or 5 minute drive in the car. Run by a local volunteer group they provide tours of the lighthouse and run a nearby RAF & Fleet Air Arm Heritage Centre which is full of interesting memorabilia and interesting facts.
Lossiemouth shares a beautiful coastline with many other outlying coastal villages in Moray and is part of the Moray Coastal Trail if you enjoy walking and always makes for a good day out.

Tanglewood Lodge was a fantastic house to stay in for our long weekend in Lossiemouth, it was in a great location close to all amenities and beautiful picturesque views!
The lodge itself was absolutely breathtaking, the themed rooms where a tasteful touch & the lodge was absolutely spotless. The beautiful custom fluffy towels where also amazing when coming out of the big walk in showers. The beds were extremely comfortable to the point it was one of the best nights sleep i have had in a while. Overall our holiday was fantastic and it’s all thanks to Mr. Lennon & Staff who run and care for Tanglewood lodge.
