Celebrate the Season at Blachford Lodge

From quiet winter escapes to festive holiday packages, experience the magic of the North 

 

Festive Holiday Season

Our festive season runs from December 20 to January 2, with a mix of regular winter stays and special holiday packages for Christmas and New Year’s. 

Celebrating Christmas or New Year's at Blachford Lodge is like stepping into a winter wonderland, where snow-draped landscapes, dancing northern lights and the cozy lodge and cabins set the scene for festive gatherings and quiet moments alike.
