How to book

Check the availability dates on the calendar, and confirm your interest by
email to; stdrostansbook@btinternet.com,
or telephone 01569 730967.
We will then confirm the availability, and pencil in your requirements.

Due to the ongoing changes in COVID regulations, the booking conditions may vary throughout the year, depending upon when you wish to visit.

Because of this, we would request that you e mail us your proposed dates, and we will send you the booking forms and other details appropriate to those dates.

When these are returned and the deposit received, you will be issued with a Confirmation Letter

Weekend bookings: start around  4.00pm Friday and finish 5.00pm Sunday.

Midweek bookings: start at 2.00pm on day of arrival and finish at 10.30am on the day of departure.

The Lodge is not available during
Christmas or New Year.

NOTE; Group leaders are responsible for completing booking form, paying deposit and collecting fees from attendees. The fees minus the deposit should be paid within 7 days of leaving the Lodge. It is not acceptable for individual group members to pay separately.

Young people and certain others from churches in the Brechin Diocese may be able to claim back their cost from the Murray Scarlett Glen Esk Fund following their visit. In addition a supplement to the basic fee is paid to contribute towards cost of food. The application form for this may be downloaded from the Resources page on the Diocese of Brechin Website, and funds are paid directly to the relevant church after the visit. (The purpose of this fund is to assist people from the Diocese  to go to St Drostan’s Lodge. It will pay for young people up to the age of eighteen, Students in Further and Higher Education, and adults in special circumstances e.g.; receiving pension credit, Personal Independence Payment, Employment Support or Job Seekers Allowances. Murray Scarlett payments are entirely separate from St Drostan’s Lodge and so you should make the full contribution to St Drostan’s for your stay within one week of leaving the Lodge.)
