The Lodge
The Lodge was built in 1936. All the main reception rooms have the benefit of wonderful views to the west including the recently extended drawing room which opens directly onto a courtyard.
The private woodland and gardens extend to 18 acres. The summerhouse, built at the highest point of the property, gives panoramic views all round.

Accommodation
The Lodge has full central heating throughout. The main lodge sleeps up to 8. This comprises:

4 bedrooms, shower room and bathroom

dining room, drawing room and study room (each with open fire)

kitchen/breakfast room fully equipped with an Aga and state-of-the-art equipment and facilities.

There is a separate Games Room with pool table, darts and a hi-fi system.

The Guest Wing sleeps up to 4.

The Area
Plockton (2 miles from the Lodge) is an exceptionally picturesque fishing village, and has a pub, a general store and other facilities. It will be familiar to anyone who has seen the 'Hamish Macbeth' TV series.
Kyle of Lochalsh (4 miles from Duirinish) has further shops and facilities. It is also the start of the Skye Bridge which enables easy day trips to the island.

Eilean Donan Castle (9 miles from Duirinish) is one of the most recognised images of Scotland. Atmospheric in any weather and well worth a visit. Continue around Loch Duich and take the road to Glenelg to see the ancient Pictish brochs and the little ferry to Skye.

Another day's excursion can be made to explore the splendid scenery of Wester Ross with its mountains and unspoilt sandy beaches. Inverewe Garden is a unique sub-tropical delight just north of Gairloch. Alternatively, take the famous high road to Applecross.
