The old hotel has recently been refurbished, and whereby the old Cutty Sark Hotel used to be sold on a bed & breakfast basis – this has now changed, with the accommodation being being sold on either a self-catering or bed only basis.

Cutty Sark Lodge has an on-site restaurant called The Galley Bistro, that overlooks the swimming pool and lake. For those not wanting the hassle of bringing up all their groceries to self-cater there is also the Crispy Fresh Shop located near the restaurant. For guests convenience you are able to pre-order your groceries which will be delivered to your suites. Rats Bar is adjacent to the main hotel and is opened upon request.

There are 4 different accommodation blocks available. The Moodie Block (sleeps 18 altogether), The Moore Block (sleeps 8), The Wallace Block (sleeps 6) and the Willis block (sleeps 20). Below is a description of each of the blocks.
