This stylish large holiday home with Visit Scotland 5 star rating was formerly a renowned hotel famous for its sporting clientele, in recent years has been completely refurbished and is now a luxury retreat. Situated in the North West of Scotland, this south-facing lodge with an open aspect has some of the finest views over spectacular scenery overlooking the natural beauty of the Kyle of Durness. If that was not enough, inside, there is a cinema room, a treatment room and a massive games room with full-size snooker table.

Set within 2 acres of grounds, which mainly consist of lawn it is situated near to the Cape Wrath passenger ferry, with a bay to the front where sea otters and seals can be seen on a daily basis. Please note that weddings can only be for the capacity of the house’s accommodation only.

This is an ideal holiday house for family holidays, as well as those with an interest in activities, including golf or walking. Whilst it is a long drive to the top of Scotland – you will find that once you are here, you will never want to leave.

On entering the entrance hall, you are greeted by an array of taxidermy within a lovely wood panelled room, which sets the tone for the rest of the lodge. Turning left takes you into a long wooden panelled room flanked by picture windows allowing the magnificent scenery to be part of this sitting room, with a selection of sofas, comfortable chairs around various coffee tables.

The dining area is next, which then leads to the former bar area, where the original bar is still in place with wood-burning stove and comfortable chairs. This is a wonderful room to relax and have a drink in impressive comfort and style.

The “cinema room” has a large flat-screen TV with big sofas to watch it from. A smaller TV room is suitable for children with board games and books available. Then to the rear of the building is a large games room, with one section housing a full-size billiard table and the other section with comfortable seating. Both sections have large picture windows to the front.  Finally, there is a sauna (capacity 6/8 people) and a treatment room available.

The kitchen is located at the rear of the building and is a converted commercial kitchen that is now adapted to normal residential usage. In fact, it has been designed with sleek lines and in a trendy way continuing to use the relatively small space to be a lovely kitchen to be in with a few friends. With many gas hobs and integral double ovens, the cooking capacity of this room could be double the advertised occupancy. Bar stools at the work-island allow others to join the cook and chat. Further larder space is next door and commercial freezers.

The dining room is located at the front of the lodge and has one of the best views from any dining room in Scotland. Huge picture windows to the front overlook the sea loch and mountains beyond and regardless of the weather will always be an atmospheric view. The dining table can seat up to 20 people and with the antler chandeliers and antler theme throughout you will always know you are in the Highlands of Scotland.

Set within 2 acres of grounds, which is mostly a grassed area, that is enclosed by a wall, but with open access to the small side road. A small walled garden is to the side, and a kennel is to the rear, where the house-keeper resides. It is located 2 miles from the village of Durness beside the Kyle of Durness overlooking the sea.

Adequate supplies are available in Durness, but it is advised to do a major shop on the way, with all the major supermarkets available in Inverness. Fishing can be arranged locally, for sea fishing, salmon fishing and hill loch fishing for trout. The nearest golf course is at Durness and is a 9-hole golf course. This is an excellent area for walking, climbing and mountain bike activity. Ben Hope is nearby. The sea and the views are on your doorstep and are the main attraction.

Durness, situated in the far North West of Scotland, lies adjacent to the last great unspoilt wilderness area in Europe. Spectacular mountains straddle seemingly endless peat-based moorland which sweeps down to some of the most breathtakingly beautiful silver sand beaches in the world.

The area is a walker's paradise with routes for both the beginner and those in search of a challenge. Wildlife abounds with some of the UK's largest sea bird colonies and the highest mainland coastal cliffs.
