Accommodation in Scotland

Highland Glenuaig Lodge on Glencarron

In a fabulous remote six mile glen with a river running through it and surrounded by expansive views and Munros (mountains over 3000ft) all you might hear is the babble of the burns and the roar of the stags with the silent golden eagles soaring above. Paradise for walking, wildlife watching, fishing and deer stalking or exploring the Scottish Highlands or just relaxing away from it all. This is a unique experience of beautiful isolation and luxury in the wild. A very green experience - the luxury in this very remote place is supplied through renewable energy from a micro-hydro-electricity generator and there are full conventional backup systems too. The unassuming stone exterior blends in with the surrounding Munros but hides a stunning interior beautifully designed to be in sympathy with its origins and location and fully equipped for total comfort. Whilst Glenuaig Lodge looks like a wee cottage it is a large four bedroom house (one double, 3 twin and a double sofa bed in the second sitting room) with two sitting rooms, a dining room and a large kitchen, victorian style bathroom and a shower room plus ground floor WC. It is well equiped with dishwasher, washing mashine, dryer, drying room, microwave, three conventional ovens; TV, DVD, CD. It was originally designed for Victorian gentlemen and their servants to lodge whilst stalking on the remote hills of the Estate, long before the advent of 4x4s. In few places on earth will you feel so at peace with the natural world. 4x4 or hire of one essential. Discount car hire information available. In the atmospheric Glenuaig, valley of red deer and eagles, a unique experience of isolation and luxury. Remote Victorian hunting lodge, with its own micro-hydro electricity. , 30 minutes drive on a track into the mountains away from all civilization. Beautifully modernised in period style: 4 twin/double bedrooms, bathroom, shower-room, drawing room, second sitting room (with double sofa bed), dining room, WC and fabulous kitchen with dishwasher etc. TV, DVD, CD.
