Overlooking the northern shore of the Cromarty Firth, this stunning timber lodge offers a memorable escape for a couple or small family seeking peace, quiet and close connection to nature. Bring your bikes to make the most of the forest tracks and cycle routes that wind through the Ross-shire countryside, head to the coast for fresh sea air or simply enjoy spending time in your private outdoor space. As dusk falls, sit in the back garden around the fire pit to create a cosy evening atmosphere under moonlit skies.
With beautiful farmhouse-style interiors and impressive attention to detail, you’ll soon feel at home as you settle into the open-plan living space. The contemporary kitchen provides a bright space to cook and eat in, while the comfortable lounge area is the place to watch shows on the Smart TV or stream chillout background music through the Bluetooth speaker while you read. When the sun finally sets on your day, retreat to the tastefully decorated double bedroom or twin room for a restorative night’s sleep ready for another cracking day of adventure.
Walk or cycle the woodland trail up to Fyrish Monument (7 miles) to take in the striking views from this impressive stone landmark. For coastal charm, the historic seaside town of Dornoch (22 miles) is hard to beat. Stroll along the sandy beach, play golf or explore the 13th-century cathedral. The North Coast 500 driving route is also easily accessible from the lodge as it runs along the A9 around a mile from Alness. Wildlife lovers won’t want to miss Chanonry Point in the Moray Firth (22.5 miles), where seals and dolphins are often spotted basking on the sandbanks or bobbing in the water.
