About this property
Beauly 8.3 miles. Perched on the sunny side of beautiful Strathglass and enjoying some of the most spectacular views in the glen, The Lodge is a stunning Swiss-style wooden retreat offering space, comfort, and a true Highland escape. Set above the valley floor between Struy and Beauly, this impressive property combines rustic charm with modern comforts, making it the perfect choice for families and groups of friends seeking a memorable getaway in the Scottish Highlands. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery and far from the stresses of everyday life, The Lodge welcomes guests into a warm and inviting atmosphere. At the heart of the home is a spacious kitchen and dining area, complete with a breakfast bar, large dining table, and everything needed to prepare leisurely breakfasts, family feasts, and celebratory meals. A separate utility room provides added convenience with a washing machine and drying facilities. After a day of exploring, gather in the generous sitting room where comfortable seating, a crackling woodburning stove, and a large TV create the perfect setting for cosy evenings together. French doors open onto a covered porch and expansive lawn, where uninterrupted views stretch across the valley towards the mountains of Glen Strathfarrar. Upstairs, a spacious snug offers an additional relaxation space, complete with bean bags and a 75-inch TV, ideal for movie nights or giving younger guests a place to unwind. The Lodge comfortably accommodates guests across three beautifully appointed en-suite bedrooms: The Mountain Room - A spacious super-king-size bedroom with en-suite shower room.
The River Room - A versatile twin room that can also be configured as a super-king-size bed, with en-suite shower room. The Meadow Room - Located on the ground floor, featuring a king-size bed and en-suite bathroom with bath and shower over. Outside, guests can make the most of the covered decking area and extensive lawn, perfectly positioned to capture the sunshine and panoramic Highland vistas. With barely another building in sight, it's an idyllic spot to enjoy complete peace and tranquillity. Adding to the experience, guests also have complimentary access to a charming Scandinavian BBQ hut, shared with the owners and neighbouring cottages. Perched on a deck overlooking the glen, it's fully equipped with charcoal and BBQ accessories, providing a unique setting for outdoor dining against a spectacular backdrop. Strathglass itself is one of the Highlands' hidden gems. Nestled amongst rolling hills, ancient forests, and the sparkling waters of the River Glass, the area is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts and outdoor adventurers alike. The region is home to red kites, buzzards, ravens, pine martens, badgers, otters, beavers, red deer, and roe deer, many of which can be spotted from the property itself. The Lodge is perfectly placed for exploring the renowned Glen Affric National Nature Reserve and the dramatic landscapes of Glen Strathfarrar, both celebrated for their walking, cycling, and wildlife opportunities. Canoeing, pony trekking, loch cruises, and dolphin-watching excursions are all within easy reach, while nearby Beauly offers independent shops, welcoming pubs, and excellent local dining. Whether you're seeking outdoor adventure, wildlife encounters, family celebrations, or simply the chance to relax and soak up some of Scotland's finest scenery, The Lodge provides an unforgettable Highland retreat. For larger family gatherings, The Lodge can also be booked alongside the neighbouring properties, Nan's Cottage and The Cow Byre, offering flexible accommodation for extended groups wishing to holiday together.
Lying on the north bank of the River Beauly, just 12 miles west of Inverness, the village of Beauly is situated at the very heart of the Highlands. An excellent location for touring, the village is within easy reach of Loch Ness, the ancient Caledonian pine forests of Glen Affric and Strathfarrar and the coast (sandy beaches 8 miles). The name Beauly comes from the French “beau lieu” or “beautiful place” and the village prides itself on being both scenic and well-kept, having won both Scotland and Britain in Bloom titles. One of Beauly's highlights is the ruined 13th Century priory, around which the village was built. Today the village is famous for its craft-based industries and offers an excellent selection of shops, pubs and restaurants. With some of the best scenery the Highlands has to offer just on the doorstep, Beauly makes an excellent holiday base!
