Get away from it all at this luxurious lodge in the Scottish Highlands, 3.5 miles from the bustling town of Alness. The property welcomes two guests and makes the perfect base for couples looking to explore the wild and rugged landscape of the Easter Ross Peninsula. The area is a paradise for keen walkers, with popular routes to the Fyrish Monument (11 miles) or along the Seaboard Sculpture Trail (13 miles). In the evenings, return to your rural bolthole and sink into your private hot tub under the stars.
The stylish lodge sits within a small complex of similar holiday homes. The retreat is decorated in calming, neutral tones and has a bright open-plan living area. In summer months, slide open the patio doors to let the outside in and listen to the birds in the surrounding trees.
From the garden area, a small flight of steps leads to the lodge. Once inside, discover a sleek lounge/kitchen with an array of creature comforts to make you feel at home. In one corner you’ll find a kitchen area for whipping up delicious dinners for two, which you can share together on the patio on a balmy evening.
At night, snuggle up on the sofa in front of the cosy flame-effect electric fire and watch your favourite programmes on the Smart TV. The lodge has an elegant double bedroom with wood-panelled walls and plush linens for a good night’s sleep. A refreshing shower room rounds off the accommodation.
Outside, the enclosed patio garden has a decked terrace with furniture – this is a lovely spot to sit and unwind after a day of exploring. Down the steps, you’ll find a picnic bench for al fresco dining and a fabulous hot tub for reviving weary legs after a long walk. Guests also have access to a shared BBQ area. The property has private parking for one car.
